Boss Hog

"Can I offer you 1/4 seat, ma'am?"

"Can I offer you 1/4 seat, ma'am?"

Here, we have another Seat-Hogging Douchebag caught, yet again, by one of our with-child readers. We’re grateful for her previous posts. Let’s hear how bad it gets:

“I imagine any conversation with this upstanding citizen would go something like this:

Tired mother/pregnant lady and/or worker saddled with laptop, backpack and lunch bag:   ’May I sit down?’

This upstanding citizen:  ’I'm sorry, this seat is reserved for…..MY ARM!’

Oh…And check out how packed this Oak Park bound Green Line train was….”

Can’t really tell how crowded it was from this pic, but I know good and well to take you at your word. Thanks for the story! Keep ‘em coming people!

Oh yeah, I noticed the wedding band on this guy’s finger. I wonder if his wife knows this is what he does when she’s not around. Ass.

UPDATE!!!

Here’s the shot showing how crowded it was when the above photo was taken:

Thanks for the follow-up, diligent citizen! Keep up the good work…

No Wire Hangers, At Least

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009


Got a submission today from a guy we’ll call “L.R.” Now L.R. assures me that the train was much more crowded but this was the only shot he could get. Let’s here his tale of woe, shall we?

“Southbound Red Line. Noon rush.

By the time I was able to worm myself into position to snap the pic, the train had emptied a bit. So this may not be the most egregious violation you’ve ever seen. But still, the fuckin’ Red Line isn’t this chode’s personal goddamn coat rack. If he didn’t want to wear a suit, he could’ve kept his job at the used book store.”

Well, there you have it. Another cheezed-off CTA rider taking advantage of his god-given right to say something about.  Thanks, L.R.!

Oh yeah, this guy probably has a bunch of friends that just barely tolerate the fact that he’s always trying get them to listen to Rush. Ass.

Humanity Looks On In Horror

what the?

what the?

See the look on that guy’s face? Yeah, that’s how I felt when this dingbat in the striped shirt kept shifting every which way in order to keep leaning on the pole.

Oh yeah, this guy probably pretends he doesn’t notice your shoes but then you’ll run into him outside of work and then all of sudden there he is, wearing the same shoes. Ass.

I’ve got something in my ear…and on a pole.

The movie "Up" this is not...

The movie "Up" this is not...

The more people that kept getting on the train the more irritated this guy got… and the more he was all over that pole.  Then, of course, he started picking his ear. Delightful.

Oh yeah, this guy probably wiped his ear stuff on his pants and then rubbed up against you. Ass.

Baggage Jam

Baggage Jam

This tale of Seat-Hogging assholery comes from a fan. We’ll call her…oh I don’t know… “SuperAwesomeCoolnessAndStuff.” Let’s listen in now, shall we?

“I expected a full train heading south on the blue line towards downtown on a Thursday evening at 5pm rush hour.  What I couldn’t forsee was a pack train car turned boy school lounge.  These D-bags sat one per seat complete with their dirty shoes on the seats around them, threw their luggage by the doors so people had to crawl around them and get smacked in their legs by the the unattended bags. It was almost like they were trying to win a D-bag award.  Also, the one in the corner had a full size speaker set blasting Michael Jackson songs on full volume.  I was so sorry for the one little old lady sitting right next to this ass.

I wanted so badly to shove their bags out the doors during the stops.
Cheers!”

Baggage Jam Continued

The heart breaketh deep and wide, SuperAwesomeCoolnessAndStuff. The words “cluster” and “fuck” pop into my head for some reason.

Oh yeah, these guys probably are probably all headed to a dry cleaning convention. Asses.

Keep ‘em coming people!
