This time they really fucked it up. There was a disabled train in the tunnel. Or was it three? I don’t think we’ll ever get the real story. I left the office a little after 5PM….I got home at 8:05PM. Just another day on the Fail Road.
It was about 5:05PM when I found myself on the way to the Fail Road….I cross 34th, I see the 34th Street exit was closed, we could tell by the gates. So we sheeple walk around to 33rd (The “Garden” Entrance)….we go down the stairs…that’s closed too.
There were no announcements. And more and more people are filling the concourse. Where are the people from the Fail Road? Nowhere to be found. Instead, we’re penned in like fucking animals Standing there like a herd, staring at a fucking gate. This was for more than an hour. During that time, there was nothing from the Fail Road. Police officers walked by, claimed ignorance (of course). We saw a guy with a Fail Road management badge pass by…he was running like he was being chased by bulls in Pamplona. I bet he was running…to do nothing. Fucking bastard.
Finally, at around 6:10 the gates were opened. And, as expected, the sheeple all rushed the gate. They also rushed the gate when they saw it open about a foot. There was a train that came into Penn (maybe it was the people from the disabled train(s)?). The cop behind the gate was yelling at them to get back. It was like yelling at the the wall. These situations bring out the worst in people. The way the Fail Road handles these, it’s understandable.
The Fail Road is a total, complete and absolute disgrace. Why does this always happen? My problem is not the delay itself but it’s the response. It’s like they are re-inventing the fucking wheel every time there is some sort of glitch. Is every delay that occurs the FIRST TIME THERE HAS EVER BEEN A FUCKING DELAY? HOW CAN THIS BE?
I would love to know who made the calls to close Penn and to not make announcements. In short, I would love to know who was the person who told thousands of people to go fuck themselves. This person should be fired, their benefits rescinded, and they should be dragged through the streets so we can tar and feather them for they are a complete failure as an employee.
This will happen again. I know it will. Bring on the fare increases.
FUCK THE FAIL ROAD!! AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO WORKS THERE. ASSHOLES! ALL OF YOU!
LIFE ON THE FAIL ROAD
