Holy crap….I’ve had the pleasure of being subjected to the stench of the french on teh trains and subways of Paris, even been exposed to those lovely German Women with the foul odor eminating from the pits that have more hair under them then Ripper has on his Red Head, be forced to look at […]

Ok I almost feel sorry for this person last night. However, this was totally his fault. At just before 9PM last night some idiot was sitting on the platform in Newark Penn with his feet dangling over the edge of the platform. So just to clarify his feet were hanging over the tracks.

We often point out the people and things that make our aggravating daily grind worse than it has to be. To give most people credit, I’d say that better than 80% of the commuters do abide by the unwritten commuter […]

Got on the RVL at Dunellen this morning, usual 7:06 train. My M.O. is to sit on the inside of the first-available two-sy, as close to the doors as possible to facilitate the forthcoming train change in Newark.
