Conductors on the LIRR are quite possibly the stupidest people on earth.
The lazy bastards ‘t open the doors when the train is at the station, so we wait there like assholes until the douchebag in the funny hat decides he wants to open them. On the WH branch, they never remind the passengers in the first two cars that the first two cars don’t stop at their station. Every night we must endure the usual (WAIT! DON’T CLOSE THE DOORS!”) run up the cars….
It gets better. Tonight, the WH train said “Long Beach” on both signs (inside and outside). One announcement was made, but not everyone heard. There were some people on the train who thought it was going to Long Beach, the never got off. Why couldn’t they just turn off the sign? The overheads above the platform were correct. Whatever. Turning them off would have been too fucking hard.
Conductors are assholes….CLICK CLICK TICKETS PLEASE!
