Sometime I feel like the ghost on the subway that Patrick Swazye’s character, Sam Wheat, met; first on a train & then on the platform. When homeboy threw him off the train I knew how he felt. Sometimes I even see that same look in other Straphangers’ eyes. The look of how dare you invade my personal space. How long is this ride going to take? Why is this train crawling? The main reason these questions are usually asked is because there is someone in that same car that is making the trip miserable. Most of the time it’s only because they themselves are miserable.
Then one morning I had another uneasy pleasure of standing there minding my own business waiting for my stop when some dude came on insisted on standing over me. I in the mist of his morning musk and that was not something to be proud of. Question of the Day: How do you come out of your house 
rank? How can this be? Why is this even an option? Did your sense of smell take time off? At first I thought he must have come from a night job – somewhere. Then it happened. It was on the phone telling his supervisor that he was running late because the trains weren’t running. Say what?! Not only are you late for work but you’re going in raunchy. Soooo, since you’re already late you couldn’t shower and just take half a day?
Since experiencing this I now understand why some New Yorkers vow to never step foot on a train or bus without probable cause.
Make moves biotch and stop bullshytting.
