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)
