Some lady took this very personally. She was like. "If you don't like it here, then why don't you go back to CINCINATTI where you came from." And I was like... burn. Everyone knows that people from Cincinatti are douche bags. Then, the guy continued. He was like, "saying it might snow is like saying the Jets might win the superbowl." And I was like whoa, lets not get ahead of ourselves. The superbowl was yesterday, and the Jets weren't even in it. So let's back up and examine our analogies before we start spewing them. Someone is going to get hurt. So the lady continued to take it personally. She was like, "this is my HOMETOWN. If you don't like it, go back from where you came from." So then he said, "I'm from Canada." And I was like.. well if he's from Canada, then why can't he deal with a little snow? This amount of snow is child's play for those of my readers from Colorado and the Midwest. Its going to be like, maybe a foot and people are like fortifying their houses and blowing up grocery stores. So then, after defending New York didn't work, she started defending the weather. She wanted him to know that it was going to SUCK and that the MTA really couldn't handle this shit. She said there were going to be BLIZZARD conditions, and 40MPH WINDS. She made sure that he understood that this was the FORECAST. So people on the subway were generally having one of two reactions, rolling their eyes, or laughing. Taylor and I were laughing our asses off. At one point I said to Taylor, I am making some service changes in the bathroom because I MIGHT have to poop.
For the record, my position on this snowstorm is YES CLOSE EVERYTHING. I want to go sledding with the other children that don't have to do anything.
So if someone is badmouthing the transit system because the city changed it because the weather is supposed to be really really bad, don't take it personally. Or do, because then riding the subway would be awesome. Magic happened.
