Like every other New Yorker, ive taken public transportation at some moment in life....but i take it every day and i decided, in an effort to make my ride more enjoyable, to make a list of people id rather not ride on the same train or bus with.
-People who have an ipod that is so loud you can still hear theirs while yours in on full blast, and they aren't sitting close to you
-People who use their phones ringtone as an ipod....without headphones
-People hwo watch portable DVD players who refuse to use headphones
-People who feel they have to look at the train map after EVERY stop
-Anybody who uses nextel direct connect NOT on private mode
-People who sit on the BACK of a crowded bus, who feel the urge to fight thru the crowd to exit off the FRONT
-People who talk on the phone so loudly that everybody on the bus knows that Maria is pregnant
-People who think they are too cool to hold on to the handrail, until they stumble into your lap
-Teenage panhandlers who sell DURING school hours
-Children between the ages 7-12 who AREN'T sedated
-People who try to eat a 3 course meal on the bus, I don't mean eating a pizza or mcdonalds. I mean eating rice and baked chicken out of a foil time while trying to balance a drink,so they would not spill the food on themselves, while not caring what they spill on anybody else
-People who think their Conway bag is more entitled to an empty seat than I am
-People who sit next to each other but talk as if they are standing on an airport runway\
-People who constantly miss the slot when inserting their metrocard
-People who's metrocards don't have any money on them, and when it gets rejected they look at the card itself as if they expect the card to verbally explain why there is no cash left.
-People who wait until 3 stops after they board the bus to ask for a transfer
-People who put coins in the metrocard slot
-People who put metrocards in the coin slot
-People who pay to get on the bus FIRST and then ask the driver "what bus is this?"
