Ok, so I went into work today on the train like every morning. For whatever reason, I think those people who normally take the short bus all arrived today. So... I have a series of thankless rants... because I have to get all this off my chest.
First off, I am a childless man, but I am by no means a child hater. I know that sometimes people have to take their little bundle of joy onto the train DURING RUSH HOUR because they are taking them to daycare before they go to the office/job site. This can't possibly be the case with the people today (or often), just judging by the sheer volume of rugrats in MASSIVE HUGE BULKY strollers. I'm not just talking wee babies, but also 4 year olds. Let me reiterate... 4 year olds... in giant strollers... AT RUSH HOUR. This would not happen on my lunar colony. Lets agree as a nation to only take children on the train during rush hour in emergency cases when you have no other choice, and that children will be carried or walking when they are old enough to walk.
And speaking of strollers clogging the train and making it impossible to get on and off... there is only 1 group of people who will get a pass for wheeling a wheeled suitcase onto a rush hour train. Airline pilots. Thats it! If you arent a pilot and you are traveling, wait an hour. I hope the woman this morning likes the shoeprint I put in hers this morning after it tripped me the second time.
Bicycles are modes of transportation to and from your job at rush hour. Bring it on the train and Im popping your tires with a bic pen.
One guy brought a huge cart of deliveries onto the train. I got out of the man's way and wished him a good one. He's working, and he wouldnt do this otherwise. If he could afford a taxi he'd have taken one.
However!
Guess what one Mensa candidate brought onto the train today? An empty cake carrier. Empty. And huge. Everytime he would turn it would hit some other commuter in the knees. This is not ok. What in the name of all things pink and potentially conjugal was this guy doing with a massive EMPTY cake carrier AT RUSH HOUR???
Anyone who uses a huge golf umbrella on a sidewalk, or worse, brings it onto the train at rushhour should be beaten by police officers while their children watch from their strollers. This is perhaps the worst offense.
If anyone on this board thinks I am talking about them, Im not, Im sure you had your reasons. Its everyone else that drove me crazy this morning.
Thanks for Listening.
