Dear Guy In Front,
No not you, the other guy. The one that decided to stand in front of fifty people waiting patiently for their train’s track number to come up on the TV screen. You who came late to the station and quickly came to the conclusion that you would never be able to read the numbers from within the group. You who decided that getting the track number was so important to you that you had to sacrifice fifty peoples’ views of the monitor. Thank you for not standing still either! Your gentle rocking back and forth both made me sea sick and made me angry as the ten people in front of now had to start counter swaying just to see the monitor. Thank you for giving the people behind me a conversation starter into just what a jackass you are, causing the inevitable laughter between people within earshot. Thank you for also talking on your blackberry VERY LOUDLY so that we may know you are an important business man with a schedule to keep. As if without you the trains wouldn’t exist at all. Thank you for disregarding the unspoken rule of a the 10-15ft arc, the unwritten rule of make sure the person behind you can read.
Here is to you jackass of all he stands before. Here is to you making our days seem just a little crappier.
John, you are without a doubt my hero.
