As many of you know, Adam and I both have crazy commutes to and from work. Most days (Adam has been driving lately) we take a bus, to a boat, to a train and then we walk to our offices. It's not bad all of the time, but no matter what happens there are just a few things that I am straight up tired of! Most of these items listed below are faults and features from the Staten Islanders we commute with....I'll be the first to say...they are a special breed of people.
So, here are a few sights, sounds, and *gulp* smells that I am tired of dealing with on my commute to and from work:
*Fur Coats
*Loud gum chewing
*"Oh My God"
*The F-word used in casual conversation...in front of every word
*High Schoolers
*Pigeons
*The "bing-bong" as the doors of the subway are closing
*The ferry horn
*High Schoolers groping one another
*Twilight and the rest of that book series
*Uggs
*Trash
*Urine and who knows what other bodily secretions (sight and smell!!)
*People not giving up their seats for older/pregger/with children riders
*The music in other people's IPOD's
Few of our friends and families could even begin to fathom what it's like, nor should you want to. There are many days when I miss driving to work, but then again it's also nice to just sit back, read a book, and let someone else get me there. It's also much cheaper, and better for the environment to use mass transit...though not always as pleasant!:)
