Did I just get scammed???

Ok, so I was just in line for a train at montgomery and this african american tranny (I think it was a tranny, but a very convincing one) goes down the line asking people if they have a dollar for four quarters. Everyone ignores him/her. I did happen to have a dollar, so I say yes. I give her the dollar and she holds out her hand, which has about $1.50 in various coins. So I take four quarters. She says thanks, then makes some comment like "you got a very nice hard body" which is the reason I think she was a tranny and the reason I feel like this might be some kinda scam.

Bart wi fi delayed

Just read an examiner article about this. Bert hasn't signed the contract, so the company profiding the wi fi can't get funding because investors want to see a signed contract. Delays by bart might prove really costly, because the longer they wait to sign, the shittier credit markets are becoming and the providers access to financing is going down the tubes by the minute.

My first attempt at fare evasion.

Last friday I was caught up in that mess with the fire. My train made it one stop and just sat there with no ETA. So I got off at lafayette and went back home. Back at WC station, the agent told me to exit out the swing gate and just tell the agent on monday that I was part of the fire delay and they'd let me in free (well, not really free, but I wouldn't have to pay for my friday "ride")

To the lady with the black trenchcoat, jeans and new balance shoes

Your ass is too fat for you to be leaning it against the side of my seat. It keeps bumping into my shoulder. I repeat: your ass is too fat.

To the douche in the goatee

Please check your facts before screaming for people to scoot down the aisle. There is a short lady standing right next to me. I have nowhere to go. Perhaps you and your goatee should buy a one-way ticket back to portland.

Cleaner stations coming

Well, some of them at least. I just got sent a copy of a contract for a deep cleaning of 8 bart stations. Can't recall them all off the top of my head - concord, colma, daly city, west oakland, and four others. Looks like they will be powerwashing bird and hobo shit, cleaning hard to reach places that require scaffolding, etc.

If I remember tomorrow, I'll list all the stations.

Kudos to the hayward shop

I am in car 1580x right now and you could store meat in here it is absolutely freezing. I am always running hot, so this is perfect for me. My take is a cold person can put on a jacket, but once you are hot, you're fucked. Thanks to whoever worked on the AC for this car!!!

Sneaky fat lady

So the guy sitting next to me stands as we approach orinda. No sooner does his ass leave the seat, but a yellow purse magically appears on the seat from out of nowhere. The thing literally fell from the sky. Thin air. Crazy. Once the guy next to me exits the train, I discover the purse's owner is none other than sneaky fat lady. Mind you, there were at least three other people in better positions to get this vacated seat, but sneaky fat lady comes out of nowhere with her yellow purse and snags the seat before anyone even has a chance to give the obligatory "you want that seat?" head nod.

Strange characters

I'm on a train right now with a bunch of strange characters. Lady to my right that I am pretty sure is flander's friend renita. Lady across from me is dressed nicely and has fresh dry cleaning hanging from the overhead bars, yet she also has a gargantuan burlington coat factory bag that looks straight out of the cart of the 90 year old asian lady that collects cans with barbeque tongs in the financial district. Guy to my left is in a position that looks like he is engaged in deep sensual conversation with me. He hasn't said a word to me yet, and I really hope it stays that way.

Lady with the rainbow print mesh totebag

so she sits in the seat next to me just now and the totebag lands right on my arm and lap. I am trying to push it off me for a few seconds, but her ass is in the way. So I pull out my headphones and give her "the look" to which she replies "its broken. The seat is broken." And a broken seat means you have to slam your bag on my arm and lap because why?

Some great employees...

I had to drop off a friend at walnut creek bart last night around 7:15. My wife was at her monthly bunco thingy, so I had my two boys with me, a 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old. We went to the top of the parking structure and watched a couple trains pass thru the station. Then my 2 1/2 year old decided he wants to ride the train. As we were entering the station, the agent helps me get the 2 1/2 year old thru the gate. Then, my 1 year old, who was playing with my blackberry while I held him, drops the blackberry and it explodes all over the ground.

Shit my train just went out of service at embarcadero

When the next train comes its gonna be a olympic ticket style stampede. I'm positioned close to the yellow strip, so I'm ready to jockey for a spot on the train. Yikes.

I want to barf

I am sitting in a quad across from a lady with the nastiest toes I have ever seen and a guy with a growth on his forearm that looks like he chewed a fat wad of gum, pulled it out of his mouth and stuck it to his arm hair so he can save it for later. Ick.

Web schedule is wrong

Either that or my train left early. I got to montgomery at 11:12 to catch a 11:14 train, but the sign says the next train isn't for 12 minutes. I don't think it was delayed by 14 minutes, as there have been no announcements. And I know the time was correct because both my phone and the bart platform signs say so.

Is it common for trains to run ahead of schedule? Midday when trains only come every 15 minutes, this becomes very annoying. Now I am late for my lunch appt even though I got to the station early.
