30 April 2002

this morning, when i was on the train on my way to work, i was sardined in the car with about 100 other people. couldn't move, barely had a grasp on the rail near the door, the train lurched and a took a step back, accidentally kicking a 5 gallon water cooler jug in the process. this jug belonged to this toothless, wrinkled, dirty, old woman; a woman who reminded me very much of the lady in the "smoking is glamorous" ads, if you can remember those. anyway, i knocked into her jug when the train jerked to a stop and she was not pleased. she screamed, "watch what youre fucking doing!." i told her that i was sorry, it was an accident. apparently my apology didn't suffice. remember, this train was filled to capacity, i couldn't move, i was stuck right where i was. and for the rest of my train ride (10 minutes, an eternity it seemed) this woman screamed:
you fucking bitch.
you whore.
you fucking cunt.
slut.
i should kick your ass.

i was completely mortified. stuck on a train. this was my commute to work this morning.
