Morning Commute -- Feb. 12, 2010

I got to the stop at 8:08. The train arrived at 8:12. It was moderately crowded. And I witnessed something I'd never seen before: A man sitting down told the woman standing by his seat that she was blocking his view of his newspaper. Huh. That's a new one.

Anyway, at 8:21 I got off the train at Copley. Unusually, after raving about this technique yesterday, I had to wait a while for the trains to come through this morning. I ended up getting on the third train to come by at 8:29. From the outside, this train was crowded, because people were standing, and I only got on because I didn't want to wait any longer. But it turned out there were several seats that obnoxious girls were using for their bags. CommutingFail Tip for a Smoother Subway Ride(tm): Ladies, when people are standing because there are no more seats, your bag does not get its own seat. I am obnoxious enough that I walked up to one of these girls and just said, "Excuse me." She sighed heavily but she put her bag on her lap and moved over for me.
