There’s a guy who gets on in NY Penn in the evening on the 6:09 Clocker (although he may take other trains as well, but I only see him on that one) who has to be the most crabby, miserable person on earth. No matter if the train’s on time, late, on its usual track […]

I strongly suspect a lot of adults either have lapsed memories or poor training where it comes to common courtesies. Especially on mass transit — between yabbering yahoos on cellphones and subway slobs, I don’t know what’s worse!
Being the considerate soul that I strive to be, I placed my handbag on my lap […]

Twice within the space of a week, I have been subject to the nonstop blathering of a certain blonde commuter on the bus lines running along Kinderkamack Road/Rt. 4 to NYC (both on the #165 and the Red & Tan #11A).
Last week, Blondie and her cellular compatriot discussed topics ranging from Stonyfield Farms’ […]

As you all know, we Jersey Avenue commuters are the red-headed step-children of the NEC line. My usual train, the 7:14, is normally delayed from departing by about 10 minutes every day. And of course, it’s always Amtrak’s fault. Well maybe the hurricane has thrown the earth out of alignment, because not only […]

I know we have been through this before, but just before the fall ridership increases, maybe it is time for a review. This morning on the RVL I saw 2 fatties taking up way too much room. One woman was languishing in a 4 seater (sleeping like a baby) and a man was enjoying a […]

I went to pick up a friend at one of the local train stations down here and had to park in the lot for a bit. When I came back, some idiot had parked this giant SUV so close to my car, I don’t even know how they got out of it because I could […]

Since I have to drive from South Brunswick to Jersey ave station, do you think it makes more sense to go to New Brunswick station where there are more trains? Im not sure if I am really saving any time. I leave my house at 6:10 am the latest for the 6:21 or […]

I can’t tell a lie. Whenever I take the late Jersey Ave train home, I look over all the guys wondering which one could be Ripper. When I see the cars pull out of the lot, I wonder is that Ripper? One day I saw a guy on the train with his […]

How about having articles appear in order by most recent reply? It seems to me that many people probably don’t get past the home and/or “show all articles” pages, so if there are replies to older articles, they’re not getting noticed. I am on an online car forum, and articles/threads are shown in order based […]

Now I realize that I am over-the-top when it comes to being offended by smells. I have an extremely sensitive nose and seem to be able to smell things that probably only animals can pick up on half the time. But what offends me more than anything are feet. I hate feet. They are ALL […]
