My ride to work...Follow

#1 Mar 14 2006 at 10:15 AM Rating: Sub-Default
Boston's public transportation sucks. It is run by a bunch of idiots who have no idea how to run a business. My five year old could do better. They spend millions of dollars every year for what they call "service upgrades." They spent millions on electronic signs that are supposed to tell you if your train is late. Do they work, HELL NO. I was sitting waiting for the train, staring at the sign that said my train was "on time", only it was already a half an hour late. Quality service!

Then, after 45 minutes of staring at a sign that says my train is "on time,"it finally comes. It is absolutely overcrowded and no place to move. I finally manage to wiggle and squeeze my way through to get on the train and guess who is standing next to me? A hideously smelling man who doesn't even speak English. When I say smelly, I mean my f'in eyes were burning. If I could have, I would have held my breath for the entire 30 minute trip into Boston. I saw a 60 year old woman try to spray purfume on this idiot's back. I start talking to the lady next to me (who was hot) and I said to her loud enough so a particular smelly person could hear me, "I wonder how many people on this train know it is customary to shower daily in this country." Now, many people actually laughed (when they were not gagging from the smell) at my comments but I also got a dirty look from one "smelly person."

Now I don't know if he shot me a dirty look because he was offended by what I said or if he actually just made a gross face because he finally smelled himself. To add insult to injury, he had to grab his cell phone and start talking real loudly, in some language I think only martians could understand. BTW, he hasn't stopped staring at me. At this point, I am getting scared, thinking he may try to hug me with his stink or something. Maybe he is on the phone with his little stink mafia friends tryin to set up a hit on me. Whatever he is doing, I was hoping someone would kill me as the stink was so unbearable. I saw a guy stuff tissues up his nose and leave them there. I thought I saw an older woman try to take her own life with a pen.

Finally the train arrives at the station and about 200 blue faced (from holding their breath) people run for the exit door. I yell out, "stampede" and begin to worry someone actually might get hurt. You should have heard the people sucking in air as soon as they hit the outside, including myself.

OK, my breakdown....if Boston wants to improve it's transportation system, don't put up signs that don't work. That's just f'in stupid.
My idea on how to improve the transit system is to make a special train for smelly bastards. I mean, I want to ride in comfort (no smell) and safety (not have to worry about getting killed in a stampede to get away from a smelly person). At they very least, put a bathing policy in place....

You should burn your house down, then you could set an example by being homeless and yet not smelly.

Public transportion means dealing with the public.

Suck it up or buy a car.

What does his being a foreigner have to do with his smelling? If he spoke English, it would have been okay if he smelled like ***?

45 minutes? 45? In that amount of time your lazy *** could have walked to work.

Right after they make a train for cheap ******* who don't own a car.



Oh wait, that was the train you were on.

It will be much more clear after you burn down your house. Trust me, it's a good plan.

The point is he smelled like an anchovy's ***. I was just describing him totally, which included him be an ignorant, smelly, non-English speaking piece o sh*t.

Trust me, you would have puked up your breakfast if you smelled him...

Umm, I do own a car...a nice Lincoln Navigator actually. Do I really want to sit in an hour's worth of traffic to drive into work everyday? Do I want to pay $35.00 to park in Boston when I can just pay $3.00 to park at the train station? Cheap no, smart yes....

Do you ride public transportation? If you did, you would know what I was talking about.

Where the fu[red][/red]ck did that come from? If he didn't speak an English, how would you know if he was ignorant?

You do realize there's over 6 thousand languages spoken on this planet with many intelligent people speaking said languages. Except for people from Boston.

Ignorant = no train etiquette

Simple rules:

1. Not everyone wants to hear your cell phone conversation
2. Not everyone wants to smell you..take a shower
3. Give your seat up to an old person or pregnant lady
4. Let people off the train before you try to get on
5. Do not wear you backpack if the train is crowded
6. Do not take up a seat with your backpack
7. Do not sneeze or cough on the person next to you
8. Your conversation is just that, yours, so keep it to yourself

Common sense, common courtesy...none of these things were displayed by this guy. Obviously, you are all missing the point or are just smelly people yourselves...

Given that he seemed to be able to understand English...

...my guess is that he merely spoke in a foreign tongue because he either felt more comfortable speaking in it, knew it would be better understood by the other party in his phone conversation, or wanted to insult the Original Poster and assumed the OP was too ignorant to understand Farsi or Serbian or Congolese or Mandrin or whatever his native tongue was.

Changing my arguement here. Forget he was foreign, forget he was loud on his ceel phone and forget what language he spoke. Remeber, he smelled!

May you all feel my pain one day. I hope you have to stand next to a person who smelled like he rolled around in his own *****....

I suppose you'd like to round up all of the smelly people and make them move to "labor camps" then, huh?

It seems like you could have just wiggled your way further away from him where the smell wouldn't have affected you as much, so really, I blame you.

A-freaking-MEN!

I lived in Somerville for five years and rode the red line into Boston every weekday for work. I can see how no one else who's posted is sympathetic...you truly have to have experienced this horrendous excuse for a public transportation system to believe how bad it is.

To the OP, I sincerely apologize that you are stuck dealing with this atrocity of a commute. At least you are not my height--5'1, the exact height of...you guessed it, a guy of normal height's armpit. Not the best place to be on one of those damned unairconditioned trains! I literally gagged once because someone smelled so bad. Can you possibly squish yourself minutely further away from the stinky person? Hell no! Whoever suggested that has never been on the T in Boston during rush hour. Movement is impossible; breathing is a luxury. I often had to wait for three or four packed trains to go by before squeezing my way onto one...and that was when the trains were even running, which was not a given by any means!

The T filled me with rage daily until finally, I changed jobs and moved away from the city. Every day during my hour-ish car rides to and from work, which are quiet and solitary and, thanks to my daily shower, fresh-smelling, I thank my lucky stars that I'm not riding the effing T!

I declare that your attitude stinks far worse than any dirty foreigner. At least the dirty brown person had the decency to talk in another language to someone who more than likely gives a damn.

You brought this crap here for what? You need a hug? Go pay a hooker. You frustrated? Buy some double edge razors and cut yourself until it feels better. I'll let you know when it feels better.

I don't care that you referred to the chap as a
Quote:

or that you seem to be hideously twisted in your attitudes towards brown people who speak languages other than English and/or do not meet your own stringent standards of sniffability. What I care about is that you plugged out the whole post and didn't entertain me one little tid. Not an iota. You offered negative entertainment value. Rating you down wasn't enough. I had to rate down the people who replied to your post just to maintain the balance of the universe. Hell, I need someone to rate *ME* down because the deficit still hasn't been covered. You created a karma S&L crisis. Other people had to kick in to cover your debt. Shame, shame.

Until you can ***** about something in at least a mildly entertaining manner, close your cake-hole. Let the cat walk on the keyboard instead.

When the **** did I ever say someone was brown? I never mentioned the word "brown" once. Maybe you had one too many ******* shots in the eye. You automatically assume the person was brown? You know the old saying about assuming...

You stupid POS, my attitude may stink but I can comprehend what I read. So,until YOU can, maybe you should shut your cake-hole. You should also promptly stuff your keyboard up your ***....
