The A,C and E trains allow approximately 6 people to sit comfortably. However, there are those rare occasions when you may have 7 slender adults (or 6 adults and a child) sitting down in their respective comfort zones. For the most part, most people know that there is only room for 6 individuals, right????? Apparently not.......
This goes out to the woman in denial: Today I sat amongst 5 other people on the E train and tried to relax while venturing into the city to make that $1. My commute was blown the moment the train pulled into the Roosevelt Avenue station (a rather congested train station). The woman to the right of me gets off and several passengers board the train. Can someone please tell me why a couple (yes, a guy & his gal) sat next to me? They sat in the spot that one average sized woman sat in. First the man sits. Its all good. At this point, there is room enough for me to place my bag next to me, but apparently this dude's girlfriend thought she should attempt to squeeze in. She motioned for me to slide down and I didn't budge. YTF should I make myself uncomfortable because your inconsiderate ass is too tired to stand? B*tch, so am I! Her boyfriend slid down a tad bit more so that she was able to sit on the edge of the bench. She knew good and well that her hips and wide load of an ass couldn't fit in the seat. Can you believe this broad had the audacity to weasel her way back? My ride was not a comfortable one (to say the least) until the train cleared out at Lexington Avenue, about 4 long trains stops away. What a rude and dumb woman. Here's a word of advice for her and all other women in denial: Stop looking at your body in fun house mirrors and stop listening to the voices in your head. You're not petite, in fact you're not average. You're teetering on obesity, OK?
Men: Dudes, I'm quite sure your "packages" aren't that large. You don't have to open your legs as wide as fems do when they're going to get a pap smear, alright? I've seen your shoes and hands, let's be serious. We both know that you don't need all that space.
Inanimate Objects: Your bags, books, plants, radio, suitcase, etc. didn't pay $2 to board the train, so don't put them on the seat. Period. What kills me is when people catch an attitude when you ask them to move their belongings. Now I would be wrong if I decided to throw their sh*t out the door right?
Pregnant Women: These women are walking around with life inside of them. Need I say more? Give up your damn seat. (This is pointed specifically at the men who sit down while another woman is forced to give up her seat).
The Elderly: Now I have mixed feelings about this group. If they are walking with a cane in one hand, are wearing glasses thicker than platform sandals and have more wrinkles than a Sharpei, then yes of course I will give up my seat. However, I am not going to give up my seat to you because you happened to age fast. Its not my fault you spent your adolescence in the sun and now you have age spots as well as cracked skin. You're really 40, but you look like someone 25 years your senior. So sad, too bad! You can stand or wait for someone who has sympathy for you to give up their seat. Random thought: Ever notice how fast these supposed "decrepit" individuals run when they see a seat on the other side of the train? They damn near knock over anyone in the process while going for that seat! When someone says to them how rude they were, they suddenly can't hear; convenient hearing loss... Turn that hearing aid up!
Elderly Couples & Children: If I see an elderly couple, of course I'm going to give up my seat for the woman. In the past I have given up my seat to the woman, but she has opted to give the seat to her husband. B*tch if I wanted your husband to sit down I would have asked him. That subserivent BS may fly in your house, but not on the train and damn sure not with me! I have seen men and women give up their seats when a little child comes in. I find that to be commendable, but what makes the mother of the child think she deserves to sit down? The seat is for your child, not for you. Its not ok for you to sit and to put your child on your lap. I'm sure the person who relinquished their seat didn't want want that.
Reading: We all do it. We see someone reading an interesting article either in a magazine or a newspaper and we peek. It's OK, but please try to be inconspicuous about it, will ya? I shouldn't feel your hot breathe on the side of my face as I'm turning the page. The words that I read shouldn't be audible?
Sleeping People: After a long day at work I can understand you being tired. Go ahead take a nap; just don't doze on me. How can you not know that you're lying on my shoulder? Would I be wrong if suddenly developed a nervous twitch and started hunching my shoulders uncontrollably?
