This Picture Of People Waiting For The Subway This Morning Can't Be Real Life
That is some depressing ass shit right there. George Washington would be rolling over in his grave if he saw this on Twitter. Actually first he would accuse us all of witchcraft for giving him a phone that could answer any question on the planet or load something called “videos” as it glowed using some sort of power source he was unfamiliar with. But after we calmed him down, he would be sad as fuck. He didn’t fight that Revolutionary War and become the first President for American citizens to wait like lemmings. Pictures like this shouldn’t be taking place in the U.S. of A. They should be happening in overpopulated places like India and China as we laugh at those videos of people packing into trains like sardines.
The worst people are the people that haven’t even made it to the overpass yet. The subway isn’t a Disney ride. That endless line isn’t going to move at a steady pace. Because once that train comes, it is going to be packed to the gills with a bunch of other angry New Yorkers counting down the seconds until death’s sweet embrace touches them. The only people that are going to get on the train are people that don’t mind getting all up IN someone’s kitchen. And once you get on the train, you aren’t taking a fun ride to space on Space Mountain or hanging with Brer Rabbit on Splash Mountain before walking away soaked and with a $20 picture of your kids pissing their pants. You are going to work for 8+ hours and then dealing with the same shitty commute on the way home.
Which is why the minute you see a situation like this, you turn the fuck around and either find another train or take an Uber like an adult instead of sitting in that rat infested sludgehole known as the New York City Subway System. You can eat the $2.50 or whatever a ride costs on the Metrocard in exchange for some dignity. And DEFINITELY don’t do this.
On the bright side, at least this city is affordable, clean, and has great weather 365 days a year, right?
