Commuter Contempt

Please note, the world does not revolve around you. You can’t arrive to the train platform SECONDS before the train is leave, jump on, and just get a seat. Also note, you fuck, no one REALLY wants to sit next to anyone else. The only reaosn people do, is because of inconsiderate fuckheads like you who will jump int the middle of a 3seater with no hesitation. from now on, get on the train, and stand in the vestibule if you are anything under 2 minutes before departure.

Homeboy packed his pickup with some serious shit. No clue what it is, but it’s in there securely. I wish I could have gotten a bet shot, but fuck it. This is as good as it gets. I was straight scared driving behind this clown. At any given moment this shit couldn’ve popped out, no questions asked. Life over.

There are no words that can express how annoying it is to stop at Fairfield CT as the last stop on an express to Grand Central. The train could be empty before arriving here and the thing would still fill the fuck up. I’m talking people standing, every seat taken, similar to Thanksgiving or some shit. Just ri-goddamn-diculous is all. But it’s not really Fairfield’s fault at all. It’s Metro North’s. Fuck you Metro North for not adding some trains on this always packed ride, you cunts.

It must have snowed before. You must have had to run trains while/after snowing. You must have known it was going to snow. You must be the world’s most lazy fucking organization - ever. First of all, the trains were 20-25 minutes late. Why? There were no electrical malfunctions or anything like that. Then you make every pack into the train cars like Japanese contestants on one of those zany game shows. And you. You just do not care. I can tell in your face. In the way you ask for tickets. You are an asshole. A giant asshole.

Been snowing for the past 3 days, so you would only naturally assume the train company has been hunkered down developing a robust plan for getting people into work on time. NOPE. First of all, trains were running on a holiday schedule, which means one train every hour. So, instead of running 5+ trains every hour, let’s run only one. Okay. The amount of people waiting on the platform alone were enough to fill an entire train. so, the train pulls up, doors open, and everyone goes into dogeatdog mode cramming themselves into through these tiny train openings, only to discover there was no place to go. Then comes an audible at the line by the transit authority. “This train will go express to grand Central - no local stops,” says the conductor. Phew - a bunch of people actually got the fuck off, but is still extremely uncomfortable. Then apparently halfway through our journey, it switches RIGHT BACK to local service. Again, there is not enough room - only this time, we have to fucking just deal with it. Then the train stops and all lights go out. The train did not switch itself automatically from the wired power to third-rail power. Who would have thought? Certainly not everyone sitting on a train that is standing still. Long story short - 70 minute train ride turns into 100+. Oh, and fares will be going up next month. Just fucking sweet.
