By Subway, Commuter Rants

Ok so i just have to vent about this.

Don’t feel like just smacking the hell out of those people who just don’t know how to stand up on the train???

I mean come on dude! This guy gets on the train with me and proceeds to just stop in the middle of the door. Apparently he made the decision that he wanted to stand right by the door. Now i’ll admit that i like to stand by the door at times myself. Especially if i am getting off at the next stop and the train is crowded. But this dude stopped directly in the middle of the door with about 20 or some of us trying to get in behind him and of course dude was not small. Plus he had the never to be pissed because we wanted to get in. Of course he didn’t get off the train anytime soon and was still on when i got off.  He was really inconsiderate.  i saw at one stop a lot of people where trying to get out and had to squeeze pass him and the end result was that the doors closed in with people still trying to get out and almost closed in on this little girl’s hand. If that was my child that almost got hurt, you would be seeing a lot less of my posts and a lot more of guest bloggers here for a while……..

At least until i got Internet privileges in jail.

Do you like the blog? or Something i wrote? Then feel free to buy me a cup of hot Java!! :)

    that’s a good one! when they stand right in the doorway, yet get indignant when touched by folks squeezing by on both sides, that always cracked me up…later in the day, when I was laughing about telling the guy he made “a better door than a window”. I know, not a perfect analogy but it sounded better of me than, “hey, mofo! let the humans through!”

    Well, I’ve got an interesting story too.
    Once my friend was scolded by an old guy who was trying to get on the tram (my friend was talking so she didn’t realise that she’s blocking someone from entering the tram) “Please don’t block the door! *!*%#!%!#%!”

    The man kept on rambling about by himself and stared at my friend occasionally.

    The annoying bit, when I tried to get off the tram, here is this same man, standing in front of the door, blocking the way!?!? I almost said “Please don’t block the door!” with anger, but decided not too.

    Man, this people..take a look at yourself too before looking at other people

    Unfortunately in the world we live in a lot of people just aren’t considerate.

    Public transportation in Asia… totally different story.

    I don’t really agree that public transportation in Asia is any better. I think people are just the same everywhere. Well, sometimes you will just need to shout out and let the stress out I guess. While other times when you are feeling happy and less stress, you could maybe still bare with one or 2 these cases…
