I hate people on the metro
Oct. 3rd, 2002 11:16 amToday I was riding the metro to work when I decided for the first time in about 14 hours that I hate people. I was watching some annoying woman ... well lemme describe the scene.
There was an Asian girl, about 20-25, sitting in the disabled seat. Her leg was in a HUGE brace that forced her knee to remain straight. She was a VERY considerate person, for at each and every stop when the doors opened - she stood up so she was not blocking people's way. Why was she doing this? Because some 'annoying woman' (original explicative removed) was standing on the opposite side of the middle of the car - leaving no room to get by.
I assaulted and yelled at no one, making me part of the problem.
This all reminded me of Sue and the foot.
I love Sue. We love Sue. We all love Sue.
Sue was never called Sue the foot, but she did have an amusing series of anecdotes when the incident happened. I don't remember how, but she hurt her foot and was stuffed in a series of casts for a period during the Roxy era (yes the Roxy was an era, so shut up). She joked with me about how people used the foot as a way to say hi "Hey, what happened to you?" "Hello again, how's your foot doing?" "Hey, how's your leg holding up?"
Is Sue (Gecko) on LJ?
Well, one day she recovered and got her foot back sans cast. She laughed at people who no longer had anything to use to start conversations: "So, your foot healed! Cool." "Hey, no cast." Long after the removal she still got foot talk.
Another one of my favorite Sue stories, from nowhere:
I was explaining that between alternative cinema, a strong Private Idaho impression, and Bravo late night - every time I heard a man speak German I just automatically thought was gay - making my Australian visit with my lesbian friends even more entertaining. She said "That's funny, whenever I hear a man speak German it makes me want to fuck him!"
I love Sue.
I hate people. I hate people on the Metro. "Riding on the me-tro-o-o...I was on a Paris train, I emerged in London rain, you were standing there - smiling as I pulled away..."
People don't make way on the platform when the door opens. They try to squeeze in while you are exiting the train. I didn't play football but I do block with my shoulders, asshole / bitch. People inside the train wait until it stops before they get up and try to make their way to the door. Everyone stands in the doorway, and won’t take a step towards the center of the train. Everyone takes the disabled seat - leaving the elderly pregnant disabled woman to stand (yes the 1 lady is all 3 shut up). Everyone sits in the outside of the two seats so you can’t pass them to get to the inner seat. Everyone leaves their Washington Times newspaper on the floor / seat when they leave (Post readers don’t seem to do this).
Some is every when you’re pissed.
