Needless to say, rush-hour comuters were less than thrilled to have a loud horn in their ear in the tunnels...and the band member walking around asking for change was no fun either. Awkward.

I hate the way everyone is, still, after three years here. I hate that people have no manners. Why can't they be a tiny bit polite and considerate? It wouldn't kill them, in fact it would probably make the commute a whole lot nicer. Plus, people never do wait for others to get off before they try and get on, which is stupid and takes up more time than if they actually had patience. And it would be nice if, just once in a while, when something amusing or weird happened, people would smile together about it and maybe share a word or two. I was raised too well it seems.

I used to manage giant hardcover books from the library while holding on (I never was aggressive enough to go for the seats), so I'm sure I rammed plenty of people with them during my mass transit years. But I did give up my seat, when I had one, to the -y people, thus balancing my transit karma. I hate traveling with people who want to talk on public transportation because I feel like this equates to a giant, blinking TOURIST sign. And to this day, even if I can force myself to stand to the left on an escalator in a mall or other non-transit area, I still watch constantly for anyone who might possibly want to walk by, lest they silently (and without eye contact) hate me.
