!!!NWQOD....Thursday, 6/16!!!!

My train was late this AM due to police activity... which actually meant a dog got onto the train a couple stops before me and they had to call the cops

I'm sure not all of you commute via train but whether you drive, train it, walk, whatever - Share one of your most memorable commuter stories?!?!?!

Re: !!!NWQOD....Thursday, 6/16!!!!

This was years ago when I was with my ex.
The train was pretty crowded and we were standing- this woman gets on the train and I guess she had no place to hold onto. All of the sudden my ex yells out 'Lady please get your hands out of my pants' She decided to grab onto my ex's waistband of his pants and actually had her hand inside of his pants.
She just looked at him not understanding (I guess she didnt speak english) He had to actually remove her hand.

There were other things but I still laugh when I think of this

Re: !!!NWQOD....Thursday, 6/16!!!!

A dog? That would've made my commute! People are ridiculous though- the cops, really?

Anyway... my most memorable train story is pretty infamous among my family and friends. I once punched a lady in the face on the train. In my defense, she deserved it.

We were walking down the stairs from the 6 train platform at 59th and Lexington to the R train. I always stand right by the door so I'm pretty much the first one off the train and down the stairs and it's pretty empty. There was one woman who was walking right on top of me, literally bumping into me even though the entire staircase was empty. So I simply said to her, 'Dude, can't you just walk over there?' Well, she flipped her sh!t. She started yelling at me and cursing at me all while I just rolled my eyes and kept it moving, but she kept pursuing me down the stairs. When I got to maybe the third step from the bottom, she shoved me from behind. Fortunately, I only stumbled and regained my footing, but I dropped my Jericho Terrace binder and it broke and all the pages scattered everywhere and I saw red. I turned around swinging. Fortunately, DH has taught me to throw a punch (to his and this lady's detriment) and I hit her good. I hit her SO hard that I knocked her glasses off her face into the train tracks and gave her a bloody nose. By this point, cops were arriving and they separated us to get our stories. A little Asian woman and her daughter came up to me and my cop and told the officer that the other lady started it and I simply defended myself. The cop was very nice, believed my story and said the lady was obviously 'unstable', as she was ranting and gesturing wildly to the other cop, but that he had to wait with me until my train arrived since I had no physical damage and she did. Not my fault she picked the wrong little person to mess with. My Jericho Terrace binder was never the same again, though.

Sadly - I have no commuting story.......... I've never worked more than 10 minutes from home, so aside from a bit of traffic on occasions... or having people look at me weird cause I'm singing at the top of my lungs with the windows open.... It's all pretty boring!

Consider yourself lucky!! I've been thinking of switching to the express bus just for my sanity's sake. The subway makes me crazy.

on behalf of commuters everywhere who have been tempted to do this very thing, THANK YOU!!!

that's amazing

Re: !!!NWQOD....Thursday, 6/16!!!!

I'm not gonna lie... it felt good. DH was proud as punch.

Funny enough, I was on my way to dinner with DH and ILs, so I show up to the restaurant literally shaking with anger. They thought it was hilarious though.

Jill- You win the best story contest!! So many times that I wish I would have done that!

Re: !!!NWQOD....Thursday, 6/16!!!!

One that stands out for me was a while back I got onto the LIRR train in Penn and sat down.

People were still walking into the train to get a seat before it left. Now, I'm not one to talk on my cell phone with the train in motion - at least not for very long b/c I have my 'train voice' when I'm on the phone LOL

But a friend called - I answered, she had some CRAZY news about my ex and I got a little excited. So the guy sitting across the aisle from me says 'id really appreciate it if you'd not talk on your cell phone' - pretty snarky like

So I turned around to him and said 'id really appreciate it if you'd shut the **** up and leave me alone. I'll get off the phone when the train starts to move'

He didnt expect me to say such a thing, so he just turned back to his newspaper and kept reading.
