Ladies! One seat please

Posted by raymondm in Commuter Rants, Put Them On Blast!, Say Cheese

Now explain to me why these ladies( on a crowded train mind you) won’t pull their stuff together for someone else to sit?

So in the spirit of this i created a new category called “Put them on Blast!!!”
So if you see anyone acting like a fool or hog on your commute, just snap a pic and come here and “Put then on Blast!!!”

A Tale of Two Sitters

A Tale of Two Sitters

I sat on the train yesterday grooving to a bit of Machel Montano (go check him out by the way) and doing my usual best to try to ignore people around me. I noticed this woman sitting in front of me and she was taking up two seats. One for herself and the other for her laptop bag. Now I don’t always get down on people for taking up two seats for that purpose if the train in fairly empty but this day it was packed.

This guy got on the train, and believe me he was the size of a pencil, and proceeded to ask her to move her bag so he could sit.

Wow, who told him to do that. The woman was visibly upset for the entire remainder of the trip. She kept making snide remarks about he was too big to fit there and that he should have found somewhere else to sit. And then said out aloud, “The nerve of some people”.

On the opposite side of her was another lady. She had almost the same haircut almost the same outfit. Same blonde hair. But she had such a warm pleasant face. In quite contrast, for the entire trip she kept offering her seat to people who looked like they needed it. She was pleasant to everyone and she had both a large purse, a laptop bag and what seemed to be a gym bag.

Two very similar people. Sitting directly across from each other. But with one major difference.
I wonder who had the better day?

And just when you thought you found a free seat

Seems like some people don’t quite catch the idea of one seat per person. This lady had to endure the trip with this oaf drooling all over her. And check out that he is even holding on to the poll. Sheesh. How much more space can he take? Actually what you can’t see is that he has bags on the seat in front of him also. Guess he’s getting his $2 worth.

Man do i hate the subway at times

Posted by raymondm in By Subway, Commuter Rants

So i get on the subway…….

And life happens as usual. Firstly the subway is crowded, but hey what’s new. Secondly it seems like people shower less during the winter. It’s like they think that since they sweat a little less they don’t need to shower. Well here is a wake up people…. YOU NEED TO WASH YOUR ASSES!!! sheesh. This young couple was standing next to me and boy they smelt like a dump and the girl was giggling to the guy that she didn’t shower this morning, it was just too cold. And the dude is looking at her like that is so cute. Well i only had to deal with them for 2 stops and i attempt to sit down when one of the seats became free. THAT WAS MY NEXT MISTAKE. Apparently a lady from the other end of the car had reserved the seat by looking at it and she made her way down and start shouting at me that she saw it first. Now my first insticnt was to look good at her to see if she was pregnant but this lady look like she needed food and there was no way she was carrying a bambino. So i said apologetically that i didn’t know she was waiting for it since she was not close at all. with that said she got out at the very next stop. After all of that she made such a big fuss to run over from the other side to where this lone seat was to sit for less than 5 mins. Go figure.

Well the comedy of errors did not end there. At the next stop another woman got in and attempted to squeee into the middle of myself and this other guy sitting on a 3 seater. Mind you that she was easily way over 300 pounds and then had the never to turn to me and complaint that i didn’t want to more over for her.

That was my last straw and so i proceeded to explain to her how her mother and father gave birth to her and how they at first mistook it for a bowel movement. I then got up and told her keep the seat, Since i was sure she’d fall asleep and mistake me for a turkey leg in her dreams.

Lets see what happens this evening.
