The wild things are on public transportation, thats where. I ride the train to work. One, it is great for the environment and I am becoming more and more green each and every day. Two, it's cheap. My work subsidizes most the cost, which is way cheaper than parking in downtown Dallas. And, Lastly, I don't have deal with Dallas traffic. True, I only live a few miles from downtown. But, I can't stand the traffic in this city. One day it would take me 15 minutes to get home, the next an hour. That's just crazy. The train for the most part is always on time. But, and there is a big but....you have deal with the crazies that ride the train. Usually during the time I'm on the train, it is mostly professional commuters who just want to get home. But, there are the nutty people too. I've seen so many fights on the train. Sometimes I get scared because you never know what people will do. Then, there are the people that talk to themselves or want to preach to you. And, don't forget the beggers. They stand at the stops and ask you every dang day for money or your pass. I think the people that tick me off the most, though, are the rude people that think they don't have share their seat. Really? You can watch as 10 people are standing, but your bag deserves more respect? Whatever. And, don't get me started on dollar Zoo day. How many freaking strollers can you get on a train. 1,217. For real. I counted as I stood way to close to a guy who obviously did not believe in the power of a shower. I can also hold my breath for 3 and 1/2 minutes without passing out. Sadly, the first breath after that DID make me pass out.
But, in the end, I'm glad I ride the train. And, I have a lot of stories to tell people. Just ask me sometime.
