Things I Love About The MTA

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006
  1. The fact that the operator either wants to deepthroat the PA system, mimic Charlie Brown’s teacher, or decide he’s going to do stand-up the length of the A train.
  2. The fact that there never "is a train directly (said DIE-rectly) behind this one."
  3. If it’s raining outside, the internal AC will be set on 68 contributing to summer colds.
  4. If it’s hot outside, the train tracks will buckle.
  5. If it’s cold outside, the train won’t come.
  6. The passenger beside you (if male) will sit with his legs spread so far apart that you’d feel he was carrying gonads the size of Africa between his legs.
  7. The passenger beside you that will so graciously and so deliciously spit their sunflower seeds on the floor.
  8. The fact that grown men will sit as far apart from each other in an effort to not appear "gay" but will converse very loudly over you or around you in order to have their conversation.
  9. The conductor will hold the doors open for a girl with a skirt barely covering her cookie, but if you’re carrying three bags, he will shut it and give you a smirk for thinking you could make it.
  10. The fact that there is a schedule of train times that’s posted on the website, yet the MTA never follows it.

More to come as the MTA continues to make improvements daily.
If you see something, say something. Oh wait, I did.
