Idiots on the T


I’m just going to come out and say it. I hate the Orange Line. I like the Blue Line, the Red Line rocks, and the Green Line is okay when I am going to Copley, but I hate the Orange Line. It is the only train where people are annoying enough to crowd around the doors, not move to the middle and insist on standing when there are open seats. Like this morning, there were people crammed into the train only near the door, with 3 open seats 2 feet away from them. If I hadn’t asked someone to let me out of the door clump, I would have been close enough to the three ladies around me to make it illegal in five states. Why did no one else think of moving in? When I used to ride the Red Line everyday, people would claw each others eyes out for the opportunity to sit. Somehow that seems more civilized.
