I have train rage.
-Maybe it's the hour train ride with another 45 minutes of walking, driving, and subway-ing that is driving me over the edge.
-Maybe I've been working in NY too long and I'm starting to get the NY attitude.
-Maybe everyone on the train is an inconsiderate a-hole that deserves to fall on the track.
I pick 3.
So I have a few questions for you out there:
1) Why must you scream into your cell phone so loud?
2) Why must the ring on your cell phone be set to air horn?
3) Why must the speaker volume on your cell phone be so loud that I can hear the caller's voice clear as day?
4) Why must you insist on wearing the WORST cologne and feel that bathing in it will hide your funk
5) Why must you shower, put your work clothes on, THEN decide to fry your food?
6) Why must the volume on your ipod be so loud that I'm getting jiggy with you too?
7) Why must you eat your garlic bagel next to me?
8) Why must you pass gas, burp, or pick your nose?
9) Why must you wait until the ticket collector is standing right in front of you to decide to reach in your back pocket and get your ticket out while elbowing me in the rib?
10) Why must you fall asleep and either snore in my face or start slumping towards me?
And finally:
Why must you do all of this why I boil inside and rehearse how I'm going to tell you off?

Be Jealous. From Older and Wiser. I leave the house at 7:45 am and I'm stitting at my desk around 8, if I don't stop at the bank or the store, or the Fitness Center to work out. 28 years of working and I hope I never, ever have to get on a Train to go to work.
Have you considered using this socialogical experience for a PHD dissertation?
