About Me

I enjoy observing human behavior. The subway is a perfect place for it is filled with people at different stages of their lives, interacting with each other. For me, depicting my observations in this blog acts as a therapeutic outlet; a way to release emotions and thoughts.

Lesson # 32-Don't bring alcohol

The subway train is not a party, the invitation of which states BYOB. It is a means of travel. I understand that as a college kid, pre-gaming is economical and just as fun as being at a party. Hell, I'm a fan of pre-gaming myself. There are place for that and the subway train full of all sorts of people is not one of them, especially if you're going to leave your unfinished beverages under the seating section, the content of which will undoubtedly spill and stink up the whole place.
Yup, it was a friday evening. I was returning from the theater when I happen to choose the one section that was polluted with college kids, having returned from their winter breaks. Crowded around each other, they drank their beers, laughed and generally behaved as though no one else existed. Two stops later, they began piling out. I didn't realize how many of them there were until the train doors closed and all that was left were the half empty cans they left behind, oozing beer onto the floor. Other than that, I was one of five remaining passengers. None of us were impressed. What are you going to do? Kids are kids, right? Besides that, I guess there is simply nothing left to say.
So there you have lesson # 32. Simply put, don't pre game on the subway and if you do, have the decency to clean up after yourself.
