transportation sucks

[toastykitten]

Today the 1.50 I paid for the MUNI train was rendered useless, since after the first stop, the driver announced that there was a disabled train in front of us and would we please get off? I walked to the nearest BART station, which was approximately half a mile away. As I got onto the BART station, I heard, "Please wait a few moments while BART police do a quick security sweep. Please help keep BART safe and secure by reporting any unattended packages," which is a direct result of the London bombings. Then I stood for almost half a BART trip before anyone got off the seats, and I had to sit next to the creepiest kid ever. It is entirely my projection, since he was a perfect gentleman, but he creeped me out nonetheless. You know how in certain movies there is a kid with pale skin, a nice bowl haircut, and wire-rim glasses, who everyone thinks at first is totally innocent but then it turns out he's a serial killer? (Oh, dude, now I remember who he reminded me of - Elijah Wood's character in Sin City! No wonder he was freaking me out.)

As I drove home, I contemplated ramming my car into the three people who decided to swerve in front of me without turning on their blinkers, or speeding up, leaving me to slam on my brakes hard. People! I do not drive a friggin' Lotus. Then I honked at the moron who decided to make an illegal pass into the left lane while he was a two-thirds of the way into the right-turn lane.

Today I cannot decide whether public transportation or driving is worse. I would like to go with the option that keeps me sane.
