I know it’s the summer. I know it is hot and humid. Enough of this already. Commuting when the weather is this hot and humid makes an already annoying task that more difficult.
People turn into surly, obnoxious and even more bad-mannered douchebags when it’s like this. Too fuckin’ bad, it’s hot for all of us too. You’re not special.
And, move out of the fuckin’ way! Stop blocking the doors!
It’s too damn hot! The dog days of summer are here and the shitizens are at peak idiot behavior. I’m not sure if it’s the weather or if it’s just their usual stupid nature.
I refuse to waste more energy on this. It’s too fucking hot.
Lately why does everybody seem like they’re in a rush. They’re all in a rush and they have absolutely no place to go, at least any place that’s important. I see this every single goddamn day. I see it when I go to the Fail Road station in the morning. I see it when I change trains at Jamaica in the morning. I see it when I change to the subway to get to the office in the morning. And, I even see it in my building when waiting for the elevator to get to my office in the morning. And it’s not just in the mornings it’s in the afternoon as well
For their part, the Fail Road and the subway have signs up on the trains and in the stations saying to please let the people leave the trains before you board. These things are worthless. People do not read them and if they do read them it just seems like they don’t give a crap about courtesy. One great example is in one of the stations along the 1 line. Tthere is a huge billboard on the wall behind the passengers waiting area that says be courteous to let people leave the train before boarding. and guess what people do? They all crowd in the middle of the door when the train is stopped and they push their way onto the train before the people in the train are done leaving the train. It drives me freaking crazy every time they do it because it doesn’t save time it wastes time. All it takes is for you to wait another 5 Seconds it won’t make a difference in your day.
I also see you this on the Fail Road every day specially in the mornings in the afternoons and especially in the afternoon it’s ridiculous in the afternoon. going to and from work I have to change at your make up because my train to and from work does not go directly to my destination I always take an earlier train at your make up because if I take the train that I need to be on to get the direct connection is always chaos and I refuse to be a part of that so I waited another 5 minutes by taking an earlier train. and what do I see everyday as I’m leaving the train in the morning and the afternoon that you make a Icee uncourteous people crowding in the doorway entrance just waiting to push their way onto the train. sometimes I say hey please move I’m leaving the train and they push even further in and they push me as well and it drives me crazy I don’t like it and sometimes I want to smack him around but I can’t do that because I have to be civil and courteous you know how that goes…
What I really want to know is what is their rush? Where the hell are all of these people going? They are already at the train station the train will not leave without them and they are already at the exit and entrance to the train so where are they going?
The problem as I see it is that most people are stupid and they have no manners. It doesn’t matter how many billboards are up, how many announcements are made how many inserts are put into the monthly ticket envelope. It does not matter because people are stupid that’s right I said people are stupid.
Why are you always late? You know you have to take the train in the morning. You know what time it leaves. You know all the details.
Yet, almost every day I see people running like maniacs across the street to the train station because they’re late. They dodge traffic like they’re playing a real game of Frogger. One of these days, someone will get hit by a car.
Why are they always late? What is the problem? Why can’t they just do something without being so frazzled and scatterbrained?
And, it’s not like that will be the LAST TRAIN EVER to run that will get you to work or take you home. Just accept that you’re late and calm the fuck down.
Do not expect anyone to hold the train doors for you. That will just hold up the train and make everyone else annoyed. You’re not special. You fucking wait. Everyone else was there on time. Who the fuck do you think you are?
Stop blaming your children. Stop blaming traffic. Stop blaming EVERYTHING ELSE BUT YOURSELF. The problems lies within you. It’s YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM.
The above picture is not an LIRR staircase from the Penn Station platforms, but it may as well be.
Every morning, without fail, no matter what platform the train arrives at in Penn Station, the same fucking things happen. There’s always the few people who stand up in the train at Woodside, ready to run out the doors. Then there’s the rolling case asshole who pushes his way through the vestibule to position himself near a door, again to make a quick exit. And finally, there’s the clueless ones who usually spend 3/4 of the ride singing along to their fucking shit music on their crap Apple earbuds and realize the train is about the enter Penn, so they just stand there with a clueless look on their face.
As the train doors open, there’s a mad rush to the stairs. The platform we arrive on does not matter. The distance to the stairs does not matter. The amount of people does not matter. Every fucking day it’s the same thing. Too many people, jamming their way onto narrow staircases. At this point, hilarity ensues.
The cripples usually push their way to the front of the mob. Then they hold up the entire fucking line because they can’t climb the steps like everyone else. Then there’s the multiple bags people. How the fuck can you go up the steps if you can’t even walk on flat ground because you’re carrying so much fucking shit!?!?! And there’s always the loud phone talkers who feel that their phones are different and will get a signal on the Penn platforms because THEIR CALL IS SO MUCH MORE FUCKING IMPORTANT THAN EVERYONE ELSE’S…
Me? I just wait for the crowd to thin out. I just can’t be bothered to get in the middle of that mass of humanity. What is their fucking rush? They’re all going to the same place. In fact, I sometimes wait up to three minutes for the crowd to thin out on the steps before making my way down the platform. Sometimes, I see the same people who pushed their way to the front just then making their way up the steps to the 1 train subway platform.
Please, be polite. Show that you have fucking manners. Be patient and let everyone use the steps like a normal person. THIS HAS TO STOP!
Every single fucking day I must endure this bullshit. And every fucking day I swear people are getting more stupid and inconsiderate. It’s not that fucking hard to do. Just stand aside as the passengers ALREADY on the fucking trains or the elevators leave. Then, when they’re done, you get on. IS IT THAT FUCKING HARD?
This is how it works:
When the train arrives at the station:
– Passengers already on the train should be allowed to walk off first
– Passengers waiting to board should WAIT FOR THE PASSENGERS TO EXIT THE TRAIN BEFORE BOARDING.
The same applies to elevators. What the fuck is wrong with you people who have to rush in constantly? Just wait a few seconds! It’s not so fucking hard! Where are all you people rushing to? What is your malfunction?!
I can’t fucking take it anymore. People are fucking morons.
You see that picture? These fucking morons that are slamming their way onto the train so they can get to the fucking Hamptons? These people make riding the LIRR a miserable and soul sucking experience.
Why are these people forcing their way onto the train? Do they not see that it’s already fucking crowded? Are they too lazy or stupid to walk to other cars to find some open space? If you’re already on a crowded train and these fuckers try to slam their way in, it is hell on earth. People start moving, bags start hitting you, people trip, they are turned awkwardly and are now leaning on you. While all of this is happening, the fuckers trying to cram their way in are giving you a dirty look like “Why aren’t you making room?” WHERE THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO? I AM ALREADY PINNED AGAINST THE FUCKNG DOOR!
And the conductors are nowhere to be found. They should be moving people off the crowded cars and directing them to less crowded cars. They should but they don’t because they’re fucking lazy shitheads!
This is one thing that I wish would change about the Fail Road but I am not holding my breath. Instead, I should learn to hold my breath when the fucking people start crowding inside!!!
It’s been a while since my last post and I apologize. It’s been busy at work with the new office move and other things going on. Also, the weather has been total shit and the Fail Road has been awful. I just didn’t have the fucking desire to write.
With that being said, I’ve had enough with the fucking Fail Road. The snow storm and the aftermath was bad but the delays with GOOD FUCKING WEATHER are disgusting. It’s always the same fucking bullshit from the Fail Road when these things happen. They say nothing in the beginning. Then people complain to them. Soon after that, some emails and texts and info trickles through. And finally, when all is clear you see ten fucking messages saying everything is back on schedule.
It’s a motherfucking shit show. Anyone who works for the fail road should be ashamed, embarrassed and disgusted. How can these people show their faces every day with a clear conscience and collect a paycheck and receive benefits KNOWING they’re providing such awful service? Yeah, you can say it’s not their fault but they allow it to perpetuate. Someone should confront their managers with the fact that the people get pissed at them and NOT at the people who MAKE THE FUCKING DECISIONS. You bet your ass if the fucking managers had to be in the line of fire that the way they make decisions would change.
But who fucking cares. Nothing will change, The same shit will go on day in and day out, regardless of our cries of incompetency and stupidity. The workers still won’t give a shit, just as long as they get paid.
Good luck, my fellow commuters. The assholes are winning!
If you ride the LIRR, when I say “Jamaica Sucks” you know I’m not referring to the tropical island. Our Jamaica is not a tropical island by any stretch of the imagination. OUR Jamaica is a fucking shithole on earth.
On its own it’s an awful place. The Fail Road and the people (my fellow asshole commuters) don’t make it any better.
Let’s start out with the sign gazers. There are signs on the tracks for each train AND the larger displays that show you which trains are arriving on the different tracks. If you want to look at these, find a place to move to the side and study them. DO NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING PLATFORM AS PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WALK! Try to be a little more aware of your surroundings. And, if I’m already IN the fucking train, do NOT duck your head in and ask me if the “train stops at Penn Station”. LOOK UP AT THE FUCKING SIGNS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. And, there’s an app too. USE THE FUCKING APP!
And then there’s the slow walkers. Move your fucking ass! If you’re gonna walk slow, move to the right. There’s no reason why a fat bastard like me with two bad knees should be zooming past you people. All I hear is “Oh I work out, and I run” bla bla. So fucking SHOW ME that you do. If I’m able to zoom past you then all I can assume is that you’re fucking lying.
Finally, let’s toss a great big FUCK YOU to all of you assholes with the rolling cases. Is it possible that you can drag those things along with you and NOT roll over people’s feet or slam into their legs? And, for all of you families out there, GET A FUCKING VAN. There is barely enough room on the trains for the NORMAL commuters. We don’t need you fucking clogging shit up with your three fucking children and seven rolling cases.
