Don't you just love things that have no meaning? (In some cases very little meaning, in others none at all)
I have a Dolby dual cassette player and recorder. Means nothing.
Be kind, considerate and respectful. Means little.
Live within your means. Means a lot to us but very little to our government......
Funny, I was going to write some clever little article about how some things in this world no longer have any meaning, my segue into how people just don't abide by the classic rules of conduct, consideration and respect on the subway any more but screw it. Here it is.
To all of you idiots who do one or some or all of these things I'm about to mention... You stupidass. (Yes, one word, should be pronounced as one word and yes, it means you're worse than a dumbass.)
When the train pulls in to the station and people boarding start moving toward the door, why do you as well if you know youre not getting on? So now im caught behind you because stupid me thought you were getting on with the rest of us but you stopped. STUPIDASS, im getting on the train. Get the F out of my way.
That one goes out as well to the stupidass who stopped in front of the doors while people were still trying to get on the train because she wanted to feel the air conditioning.
Let move on, so on what plane of stupid existence does it make sense to come to a full stop 2/3rds of the way down the stairs because the train just started pulling out??? Are you now going to turn around and go back up and take the bus? Was that the last E train of the day that now you have to leave the subway system and come back tomorrow??? Arent you just going to go stand at the platform and wait for the next train ANYWAY??? Why do you make me almost trip over you and embarrassingly send your stupid ass down to the platform anyway? Get the F out of my way!
Step all the way in to the car. How are you the first one to enter the car and proceed to stop and stand by the door when the car is practically empty AND now youre blocking me and everyone else from getting in? Stupidass
Why are you standing halfway down the stairs talking on your cell? You do see that people need to go up and down dont you? If you had not finished your call wouldnt it make sense to step to the side and do so rather than start going down and have to stop because your signal is fading? Yes of course its fading stupidass, now get the F out of my way.
Let me out. Plenty of stupid asses have been the recipient of an elbow to the ribs or my bag into their hip or everyone's favorite shoulder tackle because youre blocking my exit from the train. Let me out stupidass.
If its so vital for you to be on your phone the second you get off the train that youre locked into it all the way up the stairs and slowing everyone up because youre too stupid to walk and read at the same time.... maybe you need a different mode of transit. First i call you stupid because youre not supposed to walk and read anyway, havent you seen that lady fall into the mall fountain? Second,.... there is no second. Just hurry up and get the f out of my way stupidass.
and while I'm in transit.... to the ghetto trash last week, who had a trash can about ten feet away but decided to drop her Mcdonalds bag on the stairs as she went down stuffing her face with a big mac and to the rest who get on the train with their drinks and sandwiches and food containers and leave the train empty handed leaving the rest of us with your stinky, dirty and messy garbage. F YOU!!! Stupidass. Have you no respect or consideration or even shame at the thought that youve just made yourself look like a lazy, dirty, no class, non educated, stupid ass waste of human flesh? Apparently not. You should all be forced to pick up what the degenerates like you leave behind.
AND to the MTA. and i mean the geniuses who call the shots, not the blue collar MTA worker who busts his ass everyday looking after the degenerates mentioned above. To all you execs, who figure out everything from the budget, to schedules and contingency plans.... get your shit together. This is not 1911, its 2011.
I dont care about a fancy new sign that flashes how many minutes away the train is. 3 minutes away doesnt mean shit when its 115 degrees on the platform because you cant find a way to ventilate the stations.
If you know that for the last 8 years every uptown D or B train gets stopped right before 59th street because of train traffic, ADJUST THE F-ing SCHEDULE!!
And if anyone can explain to me why if theres a problem at West 4th street, the F train will run on the 8th ave line from 42nd all the way into Brooklyn, I am ready to be enlightened.
Thank you all for listening.
