MRT Woes

Working in Makati while residing in Quezon City is such a pain in the ass. There are times when I miss my previous 15-min travel time to get to work, but I guess I just have to live with it. Lol.

Anyway, taking the MRT is inevitable— especially for me who can't take them long bus rides. And by taking the train 5 days each week will lead to endless bitching about the stupid people you'll find there. Sometimes, I need to put so much effort not to call someone out on her stupidity whenever I ride the train.

So let me tell you the things that irritate me whenever I ride the train:

  • It's a good thing that I am taking the train from the Quezon Avenue station, but I also tried coming from Cubao station— and it's hella worse there. Women would really push you that you don't have to move your feet to be able to get inside the train. Then people would shout to stop pushing. Lol. You just have to wait for 4 more trains so that you could finally get inside— which would make you late for work.
  • I really don't get it why people need to stay in the train's doorway, where in fact, there are a lot of space in the middle aisle. I would always make it a point to stay in the middle aisle (cos it's more comfortable there), then laugh at those who get squeezed cos of the people riding / alighting the train. 
  • Those who won't let someone alight the train first, before going inside. Stupidity at its finest.
  • Women who pretend to sleep or not care even though there is a pregnant / elder woman in front of them. LIKE, REALLY? Are you that blind to read the signboards found inside the train? I tweeted about this a few days ago, and a friend sent me a link about an old man in Singapore who posted in Facebook a photo of the man who refused to give up a reserved seat for him. 
  • The MRT Ayala escalator. It's been a couple of months, and they still haven't fixed that shit.
  • And speaking of escalators, I hate it when people push / make remarks cos they're in a hurry and you're blocking their way. If you're really in a hurry— TAKE THE STAIRS.
Would it be better if the MRT is as spacious as LRT 2? I'm pleading to the transportation gods for this miracle to happen. And to also not let any stupid cunt ride the train. Srsly!
