Commuter Contempt

Like today, for instance, I saw the coolest fucking thing ever. A stupid lady with her cell phone on speaker was sitting on the train. The dude I’m sitting directly across from didn’t even flinch. He nicely said, “Excuse me. Can you please turn that down?” And she did! It was fucking amazing. No joke. We need more of this motherfucker riding the rails. I’m too scared to get stabbed to ask anyone to stop doing something that’s annoying on the train. And I know that when I ask it would notbe as nice, therefore leading to an inevitable confrontation. This guy is a leader. A trailblazer of sorts. He should write a book. I’d read the shit out of it.
