Random black dude and a Life logo, proving I jacked this photo off Google Images. Plus, it's not even crowded, so it doesn't prove my point. Whatever bitches.
I think I’m going to add a weekly subway segment on this blog. Face it, if you commute to NYC every day, you’ll see some classic bullshit on those subways. Rats, piss, bums, reggae dudes – you name it, it’s there. Between the MTA sucking asshole nonstop and raising fares and a mob of angry New Yorkers, I have literally infinite amounts of material to post. So her goes rant number the first: subway station steps during rush hour.
Target: 23rd St. downtown 6 station 9:30AM
Synopsis: A southbound train approaches thestationand lets out a ton of people.
A rush hour train just dumped out 100 people trying to walk up a narrow staircase two by two. These stupid jokers outside decide to squeeze their way down the steps, forcing everyone to walk single file up the steps. This generally halts traffic to a dead stop and the whole ordeal now takes minutes. I mean, it was slow enough to begin with! For fuck’s sake, I want to MURDER the assholes who do this because it screws everything up. Like here I am, walking up the steps minding my own business and all of a sudden I’m face to balls with some joke shop who couldn’t wait an extra minute for the crowd to clear. Now I need to completely stop, merge in to the other side (which is next to impossible). Result? Everyone stands still. One time I totally zoned out up those steps, half asleep in the morning and legit walked right into a motherfucker. Good. Then he had the nerve to make all kinds of grumbles and give evil looks. Tough shit, I have the right of way – your ass should have waited on top.
Use your dumbass brains and wait for the bitch ass steps to clear – it would be faster for everyone. Nope, what do they do? They decide to walk down them anyway… Once you get those things single file, forget it – it’s like the GWB of humans. Yes, I get that this is New York and no one waits for shit, but your lousy ass would actually make it down faster if you waited for the crowd to disperse.
PS – Obviously, if people are walking out of the station, you just missed the train. So why rush your ass down into a piss smelling, rat infested hole? Yes, the trains come every 2 minutes, but you have plenty of time to grab some fresh air and get the next one. Christ on the cross.
