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.
maybe the guy just bought the suit. who are you to judge? what do you listen to? scorpions?
Thanks for taking the time, Bob!
I’ll address your questions in the order that they were asked…
“Who are you to judge?”
Who am I? Well I’m THE judge as a matter of fact. So there.
Ok. That’s probably not a very satisfying answer for you. I understand that. Basically, given the amount of assholery I see on a daily basis, I’d say I’m fucking Judge Judy when it comes to this stuff.
“What do you listen to?”
Great question! I like all kinds of stuff. I’ve seen a bunch of great shows over the past couple of weeks like Sonic Youth, The Feelies, Stephen Malkmus and Magnolia Electric Co, and I’m looking forward to the Jack Oblivian show later this month. I like other stuff too but that’s just what’s been going on lately. Heck, I even listen to Rush (only Power Windows, tho) on occasion. I just think that dudes that constantly try to tell people how awesome Rush is…well they kinda suck. Maybe I’m dating myself a bit here. But hey, suck it.
Scorpions?
Just “Winds of Change.”
Hope that helps, Bob! Thanks for takin’ a moment to write. Have a super day!
