You know, I really don't understand those selfish people, those ridiculous people that get sick on a train and instead of getting off, choose to remain on the train and await medical assistance. What? The seat on the train is any more comfortable or sanitary than the platform floor? You're fooling yourself if you think so.
These people need to get off the train and wait for the paramedics, or firemen, or Superman, or whoever it is that comes to save them. I mean, does the searing chest pain of a heart attack feel any less painful if 500 people are forced to wait it out with you? Let's be honest here. Cramps? Nausea? Wouldn't they feel more comfortable stretched out on the train platform rather than cramped up in a crowded car, receiving evil looks from passengers who wish they would just get on with it and die already so we can roll their body out of the car and get to work?
I'm never going to get back the 15 minutes I lost this morning. Never. That's 15 minutes of billing time. Or net surfing time. Or whatever time, but either way, IT WAS MY TIME. And now it's gone.
So I think as commuters, we need to make a concerted effort to keep our problems to ourselves and be more respectful of our fellow commuters. It's a fast paced world and people are busy. Water broke? Waddle your way off the train, Mamma. Someone will help you soon. Hopefully. Whatever.

People like you are the reason we live in such an uncaring, cynical world. Screw your billing time & get some compassion. It might make you more attractive to the opposite sex.
To anonymous:
What does this post have to do with being attractive to the opposite sex? Sounds like you're projecting.
What I am saying is that this blog tends to find the humour in various dating scenarios that the writer has encountered. Hence my reference to the opposite sex finding compassion to be a genuine trait that is admired in a potential partner. Certainly I am NOT projecting. But nobody can become ill on purpose just to infuriate commuters on a train. Thus compassion & sympathy should be administered in large doses as being in pain is not something anyone ever wants to experience, especailly in a public arena.
Dear Anonymous,
"compassion and sympathy should be administered in large doses"
You have clearly never lived in NY.
i want to hear more about the "lost opportunities" guy! he sounds dreamy
No, I have never lived in NY. The thought of living there makes me feel sick as clearly it is a heartless community. I would much rather live where people actually care about others and (God forbid!) form true, meaningful friendships. To be fair, I'm not even that nice of a person, but come on, let's get some perspective guys!
Where do you live? I want to move there...
Funny post.
haha and tourists! Why do tourists insist on lugging huge suitcases on tubes at RUSH HOUR!
'oh look at all the commuters on their daily schedule isnt that great?'
no its not, this is the London underground its bad enough as it is without TOURISTS taking up the littleroom we have left with their huge personalities and their even huger suitcases.
clearly where anonymous is from, sarcasm is unheard of, as well!
i have to agree with 20 something though, about the tourists with the HUGE suitcases! it's never a dainty lil travel case...no no! seriously, WTF!
Roselle,
I can do sarcastic better than most, however; was this post meant to be sarcastic? Or was it just a bitching session about lost time due to some poor persons grievous situation on a train? Think about it. . .
Anonymous,
I've been quiet until now, but you're an idiot. Of course the post was sarcastic. What's the matter with you? Not only can't you do sarcastic better than most, you can't even do reading comprehension. Just stop already.
Dear MLIGCS,
How rude are you, girl? Luckily, my little brother lives in NYC & I will tell him to find a self-centered, 5'6" girl with long, black hair who believes she is thin & rides the stuid train to work every day & he will bitch slap you. If your stupid post is meant to be sarcastic then why do you have to put down every single person who happens to upset you? Get a life. Get some maturity. And what the Hell do you mean about reading comprehension??? I can pretty much guarantee that I am 10 times smarter than you (I know you think you are the end-all-be-all). I have a PhD in BioPhysics. I think your sad law degree might pale in comparison. Nevertheless, I will not stop as my point is that you are not a kind human being and your sarcasm is clearly understood by idiots, but not appreciated by intelligent humans. For once in your life, try to be a nice person. It will help you out. The meaner you are, the worse your pathetic life will become. Just some words of encouragement in your journey to find husband number 2! (Poor bastard that he may be.) Best of luck, Anonymous xxx
PS: Don't call me an idiot ever again.
Dear Anonymous,
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!! I can't believe you're threatening me through your little brother! That's not only IDIOTIC, it's hilarious!
Thank you for proving what a giant IDIOT you really are. Great response. I couldn't have done better myself.
And if you're going to make threats, at least be a man and follow through with them on your own. Because really, only an IDIOT would send his little brother to do his dirty work.
The brother will be the guy swinging Anonymous's pink purse at you. Remember to duck while you're busy laughing.
First of all, I am certainly not a man. Maybe you only associate men with being articulate, intelligent people. I am a woman with a husband (are you jealous?) and (shock, horror) 2 beautiful daughters. I just hope that neither of my girls ends up sad, twisted & bitter like you obviously are. By the way, my little brother is not very little. He's an athlete (mostly he competes in triathlons around the world, but bases himself in NYC). I would love to bitch slap you myself, however; my family & I are out of the country as my work has taken me to Eastern Europe. Next time I'm in NYC (perhaps lecturing at NYU or Columbia) I would love to "be a man" & knock you flat on your back, in the most graceful, feminine way possible. Thanks for being such a waste of decent blog space. At least it gives me reason to smirk with self-satisfaction.
Actually, I thought you were a man, because I tend to give women more credit. But, um, ok.
And I'll be happy to send you a picture, just so that you can avoid running around the city randomly beating up strangers, or at least threatening to, as only an IDIOT would do that, and clearly, you have proven over and over again with your comments that you're nothing of the sort.
You give more credit to women? I give more credit to people with something about them. Please note that I said people, not men or women as I wouldn't be so stupid as to seperate the two & be a sexist moron. Please do send a picture, in fact, post one as I'm sure we'd all love to see the high & mighty MLIGS in the flesh. I would never just aimlessly roam the streets of NYC (something I'm sure you do quite often in a drunken stupor) looking to beat people up. I would know you without ever setting eyes upon you as superficiality carries a stench so strong that the person suffering from it can clearly be detected before entering a room. I would love to hear what your thoughts are on that, however; I'm in no doubt that you are probably out at a bar, getting ridiculously drunk & dancing on tables (how very ladylike) whilst simultaneously flirting with every man you can get your talons on. Hope you had a great evening. Hope the headache will be worth it! Hope you enjoy being a joke in the blogging community!!!
Dear Anonymous,
I really think I love you. Seriously. I haven't laughed this hard in ages. Thank you so much for being so entertaining.
Also, I think you might be using the whole "however;" incorrectly. It's not a comma. But I love you anyway!
Come here and give me a big hug!
You know, I think we might be getting somewhere! Thanks for not calling me an IDIOT. Definitely an improvement on the usual insulting banter! But I know for a fact that I am using the "however;" correctly with a semicolon as opposed to a comma. Just look it up in any high school english grammar textbook. It's quite a simple rule of correct punctuation. Sending a big hug right back at you as I've enjoyed our little bitching sessions aimed at one another. Maybe, just maybe, we could have been excellent friends in the "real world"!
I'll remember that next time I'm sloshed on the train and have to chuck.
