Don’t you hate rushing for a train to the point where you sideswipe an old lady and jump down a flight of stairs only to have the godamned thing just sit there?!
As always, I blame my fellow commuters. Some jackass probably got sick on the train, but at least I have learned now why the protocol is not to just throw the ill party onto the platform and keep chugging along;
Apparently, when someone gets sick on an NYC train they stop is so authorities can check to see if there is something that will spread. Such as an airborne virus or something. That is brilliant and I am glad to see that they are so cautious…
Of course, if only one person fall unconscious, as is usually the case, then it is likely not something like mustard gas, so I still stand on my platform of drop their sick ass at the next station and keep things moving.
