That&#8217;s why they call it work, not happy fun time place. What&#8217;s the hurry? Today, new one, someone RAN onto the elevator. RAN. Full steam ahead, panting.  N.B.: There are about 10 elevators at my Ginormous gov. office building. In EACH bank. There&#8217;s gonna be another one. Ditto trains. Which brings me to&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><b>People who jam-pack the trains.<\/b> Folks, see the little handy sign with the neon letters. See how it says &#8220;1 minute.&#8221; One. Minute. Seriously?? Seriously. You&#8217;d rather jam your self and your twenty giant bags (each seeming to contain a disproportionate amount of right angled objects, stabbing me in the head) into the train, then wait &#8230; a minute&#8230; for the next one.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sneezers, wheezers, and other germ-festians.<\/b> Stay home. Seriously. Here&#8217;s the latest grossest thing observed, just yesterday: Sneezer dude PICKED his nose, right on the trade, not even a sneak pick either, full on pickage! and then&#8230; that&#8217;s right, with the SAME HAND, he held onto the ring for standers on the train. Ohhhh.<\/li>\n<li><b>Seat sprawlers<\/b>. There are several methods for this. My latest least fave: bag abusers. The other a.m., on the orange line, megas galore, hogging and sprawling, finally i get a seat. It is tight and I find myself needing to sit sideways into the aisle. I blame the widening of America and well, let&#8217;s be honest, the widening of me. But when I get off the train? I notice &#8230; noooo, Sprawly McSprawlington had his red boxy (note the many right angles in a rectangle) LUNCH box on my seat. Didn&#8217;t even pretend to try to swoop it up before the person before me or I sat down. Even though I had my bad ON MY LAP as he was taking up all floor space and arm span space with his paper opening and foot tapping. Harumph. I still need to get to the gym though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>XXXX OOOOO, your pal grump a lot. <\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/commuting\" rel=\"tag\">commuting<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/Metro\" rel=\"tag\">Metro<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/WMATA\" rel=\"tag\">WMATA<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/orange%20line\" rel=\"tag\">orange line<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/gross\" rel=\"tag\">gross<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/megas\" rel=\"tag\">megas<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/commuting\" rel=\"tag\">commuting<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/public%20transit\" rel=\"tag\">public transit<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/selfishness\" rel=\"tag\">selfishness<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/self-absorbtion\" rel=\"tag\">self-absorbtion<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=4b93fe99-85c1-4313-bec8-ba258f2840e4\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah commuting, so loverly.Here are some things I am not a fan of on my commute (I&#8217;m talkin to you ORANGE LINE!)
