8/18/11: The Barker

[sarcasm] Do you know what really, really helps make the mood that much better when you have hundreds of people crushing each other to get onto a train?  It's when the driver starts barking out, "Let's go, people, move in!  Let's go!" [/sarcasm]  Seriously, is this really necessary?  Does he think that anyone doesn't just want to get out of there?  It's rush hour, big guy.  We're all veterans and know the drill.  Maybe if the T ran on schedule and spaced out the trains, we wouldn't have these problems.  Karma nailed me for my bad thoughts.  The train turned express at Cleveland Circle.

That Guy was on my train this morning.  For those who aren't familiar with That Guy from previous posts, he's the one with music blasting out of his ear buds so loudly that the whole train can here it.  I think that he feels like it somehow makes him a rebel.  Rebel or not, he's gonna be a deaf one in a few years.  Oh, by the way, shouting into your cell phone when there is no reception doesn't make it any easier for the person on the other end of the call to hear you.  But it does entertain the rest of us.
