A Moment of Anger/Shitlording on the Subway I am not an angry person, but this morning I snapped. I have my morning commute, and as part of it, I take the subway. Now, our city subway has been having some issues as of late, so they've taken some trains out of service and delays happen more often now. What that means is that normally crowded trains are now VERY, VERY crowded. Like, packed like sardines. Well, I BARELY get onto the train and kind of pressed between the door and people. Not great (especially considering I had art supplies with me). And I'm kind of expecting what will happen, kind of praying "Lord, don't let it happen today." Well, few stops in, we stop and the doors behind me open and something my dad would charitably call a "biggun" is standing on the platform. One of those ones with the fat just distributed ALL OVER where no particular area is more egregious than the rest - just kind of bad all over. And she sees the train is PACKED and I'm basically standing on the edge of it and she says in that high-pitched, sickeningly childlike voice they all seem to have, "Can I just SQUUUUEEEZZZZEEE in there?" And I don't know why I said it, but maybe because I was just tired, but I just turned and said "No, you cannot, the laws of physics prevent it." And the doors closed. And that was my morning.
