Hung over!
LIRR Diary Entry 3/1/11: Spring is in the air and people are feeling it. One guy who was feeling it was a clearly hung over gentleman who was sleeping in the waiting house of the Oceanside train station. This guy was snoozing away and snoring like, well someone who was clearly hung over and shouldn't be messed with. People are giggling and I'm thinking. this guys either homeless or lost or something...
But I don't think he's waiting for a train to get to work. So let's leave the guy be. However, an old man who appears to be 90 (why work at 90?) starts saying in old person screechy voice "WAKE HIM UP! THE TRAINS COMING" and I say "I'm minding my own business." "What'd ya say sonny?" I walk away because I just don't feel like dealing with this. "Sonny, you've got to wake up. Your trains coming!" The snorer is huge. He could put the old man in a coma with a swift slap. That's what I'm predicting will happen. "Sonny (he really said sonny, not kidding) the trains coming, time to wake up" Big man says "(growl) I'm sleeping!" "I see that, its time for the train" "my friends picking me up" "THE TRAINS COMING. CAN'T YOU HEAR IT?" "F#(KING LEAVE ME ALONE!" That's when I walked out of that situation. My prediction is the inside of the train house looks like Leatherface had a field day. Actually the old man defined old, so I'm hoping it just ended there.
Michael Echevarria yo C - Sounds like this dude is straight outta corporate America, took "clients out for dinner" Monday night and is now sleeping off the previous evenings illicit powdery stimulants... I would've written a 4 letter word (rhymes with sick) on his forehead with lipstick then slowly and quietly walk backwards out of the station... (uhmm, I'd only have lipstick readily available because I'M telling the story)

No Free Ride for the FDNY?
I'm standing with a few FDNY guys and the LIRR charged them. What's up with that LIRR?
Just another day!
LIRR Diary Entry 3/18/11: Sorry I've been away so long. I literally haven't had the strength to get these in. That doesn't mean the crazy occurrences of the LIRR do not happen, I'm just not logging them. However, today must be documented. Even though yesterday we all could have had an entry I'm sure with amateur hour going on with St. Paddy's. BTW - I'm still an amateur any day I drink. Continued -->
So you know how the train pulls up and everyone funnels in and there's awkward nudging and elbows. Usually I just wait and go after because I'm not 300+ lbs or 75 years old. The day is coming, but we're good for now. The funnel starts and 2 women no taller than 5FT each start elbowing eachother. One says "wait a second" and the other says "hmmm hmmm" and she says it again and the "hmmm hmmm" lady runs her over. So the other lady shoves her and calls her a bitch and cocks her hand back. The other lady says "you do that and I'll punch you in the face" I'm smiling because I love a fight I'm not going to have to be involved in. So I trot passed them, grab the fold down seats because 300 peoples bags need a seat too. I mean they're bags, they'll get lonely in the overhead.
These two are shoving each others faces with open hands. I'm dying laughing. One lady muffs her so hard she falls over and then gets called a bitch. That lady grabs the other ladies bag and heaves its across the platform. Then some dude (like my dads age) says "you stupid bitches cut it out." People start applauding for this to stop. One lady grabbed a seat, the other walked to another car. No one got arrested. Let's start the weekend!

LIRR brief: The LIRR doesn't honor senior discounted tickets during peak hours. So they honor them after 8 pm and in the middle of the day concurrent with seniors nap times. LIRR: 187,695,356 - The People: 0
Another rider: My sister in law Kristina Ferrara Salute
Here's a LIRR share for your reading pleasure:
What's with people crossing their legs in the 6 seaters? Just bc there's extra leg room doesn't mean it's all yours... Yesterday I had a leg space invasion causing my across the set neighbor to continuously kick me basically every time the train moved from Penn station to Oceanside. It was a long day so I didn't say anything for fear that I would flip out and also inform her that no one else on this train wanted to hear her speak on her cell phone in whiney Russian. I forgot about all of this until this morning when I witnessed another leg invasion! The invadee and I made eye contact and shared a "WTF" moment after which she got in the other persons face and made unintelligible noices motioning for her to get her legs away from her. The invader got mad, got up, and moved cars. Vindication...
Have a great Wednesday!

LIRR Diary Update 5/10/11: If anyone is interested in hearing my interview about the LIRR, tune into WCBS 880AM radio. Just gave a 5 minute brief about the delays and the long battles we've had. The person I interviewed with actually said "you sound like you've planned out what you were going to say..." You bet your a$$ I planned out what I was going to say.
