Dear fellow subway rider,

Yes, I am glaring at you, while standing and holding on to the slippery pole of disease. Why am I glaring at you? Because I still can't believe you sat on me you crazy dingbat. I was just minding my own business, and for some reason you decided that you could fit in the 6 inches between me and the guy next to me. You couldn't, but you sat down anyways. Since I didn't appreciate your bony ass digging into my thigh I got up and let you have the seat, since you CLEARLY wanted it more than I did. Thanks, that made my whole morning. Really, I mean it. It's people like you that make this city a joy to live in. Now if you'll excuse me, I don't think I'm adequately full of rage, so I'm going to go try to walk through midtown in the middle of the day at a pace slightly faster than "I have a whole hour for my lunch break and I'm going to use it all walking once between 32nd and 31st".

Love, OMGWTF,
Aniline

GOD I SO hate that...

I also hate it when women don't remove their shoulder bags and wack people with them. Hey, if the trains crowded, my backpack comes off and is held in a civil manner.

And people who knowingly leave their garbage behind. UGH.

As soon as I stood up and held onto the pole I was stabbed from behind with a cheap pointy purse. heh.

You should see what people throw out of car windows. On the drivers side!

I mean, I can understand people want to eat in their cars. I could agree to eating grapes. But do they really have to throw all the remnants out the window at the next crossing?

And once a guy was drinking a can of Coca Cola on the highway, and then, while doing 120 (75 mph), he threw it out the window ... I was lucky, it jumped over my car (!).

It was balanced out in the beginning with a hilarious baby who was playing peek-a-boo with a stranger who keep ducking behind a pillar and popping out saying "boo!". heh.

Normally I strongly dislike babies and think they should be banned from society until they're guaranteed not to be excessively annoying, i.e., until they're 22. They're typically the most screechy and irritating part of my commute. But this one was unusually hilarious.

ugh

just wait until i make a pair of pants out of thumbtacks...

would you like to test drive the prototype ;)

Heyyyy, that's what I could do with all those little spikes I saved from when I was more actively punkrawk. heh.

Re: ugh

[zwetschke.livejournal.com]

ooh here's another idea...cover a half-length waist apron with punk rock spikes and wear that on the train...then when you get to where you are going you can take it off (unless it kinda already goes with your outfit...then leave it on!)

fashion and function...hehehe

Ok, but I'm adding sassy pockets to hold my molotov cocktails. :D

Re: ugh

[zwetschke.livejournal.com]

hehe i like sassy pockets

and how about this - maybe a line of tee-shirts that says in big block letters:

"DON'T SIT ON ME!"

followed a smaller caption that says:

"Recognize your size."

then follow it with the MTA logo...

:P

Re: ugh

[aniline.livejournal.com]

Only if it's a white t-shirt that says "FRANKIE SAYS DON'T SIT ON ME"! That way it could have that retro 80s feel, and therefore most appropriate on the L train where it is most needed. :D

walking through NYC is always best when you are going at 60% higher speed than the other pedestrians. And listening to trance on your gigantic headphones. Or maybe that was just me in the mid to late nineties...

[aniline.livejournal.com]

By walking you mean rollerblading and by you in the late 90s you mean Hackers? heh. :D

[retch.livejournal.com]

no, walking!! :)

But yes Hackers...

[thejokersgirl.livejournal.com]

Theres no shame in litening to Orbital while Rollerblading past Stuy and pretending your stopping the DaVinci Virus! I mean um...er...nevermind.

[sykospark.livejournal.com]

good god, is that how you heathens live in nyc?? in los angeles, public transportation is scoffed at!

[aniline.livejournal.com]

Heh, for every horrible rant I have, I have 20 more amusing stories and/or up-sides, so it evens out. It's like an annoying sibling or something - they drive you batty but you love 'em anyways. :D I don't get how you crazy kids drive everywhere out there! It was kind of a culture shock when I visited, 'cause I didn't realize how 'spensive parking or gas is! My entire month's transportation is under $100. $76 for my monthly metro card and about $25 in cabs, and that's only if I go out every weekend. :)

Brilliant.

Personally, I hate the people who stand directly in front of open seats on crowded buses/trains. I have decided that I will slowly and gently lean on them until they are forced to either move or fall into said seat. Either that or kick them until they die. >:(
