Protestors, Philosophy, and Patience

When I exited the building today there were four helecopters circling over my head. Turns out it was massive bring your own sign to city hall day. Apparently this also involves clogging up the fare gates and escalators and cheering in the station she when you see someone else with a sign. I didn't see anyone jumping faregates, that's good.

Once I was on the train the guy next to me playing breakout on his blackberry felt the need to complain about riding back to get a seat, and also about the proposed extra charges for the downtown SF stations. I was less than sympathetic. He seemed a little annoyed I didn't commiserate with his plight. Shit, I'm annoyed that he was clogging my station.

I got frustrated and turned off wifi rail yet again today. It's supposed to remember my MAC address so I don't have to log in all the time but it doesn't. By the time I log in I'm out of range so forget it. I get 3g all the way to the tunnel anyway as opposed to wifi only in the station.

Here's a hint. Pay attention and you won't get stuck in a car with doors that don't open. Some dude with a giant rolly bag almost clocked my boss in the head with it. Not cool dude.

how could we protest the

how could we protest the protesters without being hypocritical? it doesn't matter whether i agree with the cause or not, i hate protesters.

"Here's a hint. Pay attention and you won't get stuck in a car with doors that don't open"

seriously people. when a car has neon yellow stickers at eye level on each of the four doors and you had to enter the train through another car because the doors didn't work at your departure station, why the shit are they suddenly going to work when you get to your destination station????? the last time i was in a car with broken doors, people did this at literally EVERY stop...
