Commuter Contempt

Flying is a necessary evil. No one REALLY likes to fly. Unless you are a child and it’s your first time. Or you have dreamed your whole life that you should die in a plane crash. Other than that, no one wants to step foot on a metal canister to fly through the sky like humans were never intended to do. And then this shit happens.

Travelers on at least four planes were stranded on the tarmac of an airport in Connecticut for more than seven hours Saturday leaving some without food, water or working toilets.

The planes ran out of snacks and bottled water midway through the long delay, according to reports. There also was no running water for the bathrooms, rendering them unusable.

Holy shit, what I wouldn’t have given to have had access to a webcam to watch shit go down on that plane. I can totally see this turning into Lord Of The Flies real fucking fast. Flight attendants must have been ready to impale themselves on some plastic cutlery halfway through. If there are two things people need as a necessity for happiness, it’s working toilet and peanuts. You lose one of those, and you’re looking at a long afternoon. You lose both of them well, you better pull the emergency chute that that guy a couple years back, grab a six pack and head for the hills.

Way to go Jet Blue, and the entire airline industry. What a shitshow.

On one hand, I’m a thankful little fucker for the great deal of snow the Northeast has been a part of over the past 24 hours - train down = no work. But then there are these people. Who have to be nothing short of fucking enraged.

Passengers stuck for several hours on four A trains stalled in snow drifts near Kennedy Airport were finally rescued at about 8 am this morning, NYC Transit officials said.

At least 400 passengers endured a 7-hour ordeal aboard four A trains, one stranded near Aqueduct race track and three others stranded near the Broad Channel train station, said MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin.

I can barely take 7 minutes on public transportation, let alone 7 FUCKING HOURS. My heart goes out to these innocent pricks. That is, until the first lawsuit comes in. And you know it is.

Snow drifts and ice on the third rail have stalled trains at the Broad Channel and Aqueduct stops in Queens, north and south of Kennedy Airport.

A rescue train has been sent to the train stuck at the Aqueduct stop, but the passengers had been stranded since 1am last night.

I’ve been listening to the news all morning. These goddamn reporters keep saying, “and there was no shortage of snoring.” Shut the fuck up! You are NOT funny. Not even remotely. Yeah, of course there was snoring, they were on a TRAIN STRANDED FOR 7 FUCKING HOURS. They are lucky they were even able to fall asleep. Asshole channel 4 peoples….
