Ah, the DC metro...

Still cleaner and easier to use than the NYC metro, but they haven't yet figured out how to civilize the commuters.

I am never going out in public again.

Ditto Anon's comment as applied to Chicago's CTA.

Somewhere in Clerksville, there is chuckling over the uncivilized city folk.

Yep there is chuckling in Clerksville. I love DC, but you can't help but love the southern hospitality here.

Amber--

The greatest moment I ever saw on the metro involved a two women and a packed train. There was no space on the train, so a woman on the platform grabbed a woman on the train, pulled her out, and jumped in her spot just before the doors closed. As I helped the forcibly evicted woman to her feet, someone nearby noted, "That bitch REALLY needed to get to work on time."

Better pick one's target carefully in that instance. The evicter was lucky not to end up with something broken.

you could move somewhere closer to work so that you can walk there, rather than take the metro.

oh no wait. that has drawbacks, too. nevermind.
