This morning, at Jamaica, I got off the train to transfer to the one to Penn. I step off, walk across the platform and wait for the 7:45. It rolls in, stops and we wait. I love when this happens. The doors didn’t open for four minutes. FOUR FUCKING MINUTES.
What were the conductors doing during this time? Were they hiding in their little cubby holes from us? Why does this always happen? Is it so fucking hard to OPEN THE FUCKING DOORS when the FUCKING TRAIN HAS STOPPED?
This happens at Jamaica, it happens at Penn….it happens all over the fucking place. What the hell is going on? I don’t want to hear that “it’s only a few minutes”….Yeah, it’s only a few minutes, but it’s not about the fucking time. It’s about how we’re standing on the fucking platform like assholes waiting for the fucking doors to open. But wait, they’re not opening because some asshole WHO WORKS FOR US doesn’t give a shit about their job.
Enough of this shit already. Next time the fucking doors don’t open, I’m gonna show my ticket later. Let the fucking conductor wait. They made me wait to get it. So now, they can fucking wait to see my ticket.
LIFE ON THE FAIL ROAD 
i had this happen once but it was because the conductor was waiting for the police on the other side of the platform, turns out someone had a fake 10-trip and i guess if the doors opened the culprit would have bolted. she was led away in hand cuffs.also, it happens sometimes when the door panel goes screwy and fails to work, so they have to move to another car to open all the doors.please remember though, the person that comes around to check your tickets is not always the same one who is in charge of getting the doors, so why punish them for someome else’s actions, you wouldnt like it if that happened to you where you work.
