If you live in the DMV you all have had this struggle ....trying to ride the metro. Between construction and delays it has become a rather unpredictable form of transportation. So for all of you who ride the metro, I feel your pain! These are just some of thoughts you may have had, I know I have!
2. Got it, thank goodness.
3. Alright! How much money do I have on this thing? 5 dollars? I can totally make it on that.
4. *looks at time* Fuck, it's peak hours, just great. So I can't make it on 5 dollars, this is affordable how?
5. Well, I guess I have to put more money on my card.
6. ...and this is only for getting there...
7. It better not be peak hours when I leave...
8. I will leave early to avoid peak hours, I'm not paying that on the way back...I am not made of money... Affordable way to travel, yeah right.
9. Oh no! It's coming.
AFTER going through the barriers with your smart trip, trying to get past people who are walking slow on the stairs/escalator
10. Missed it, well it's okay! They're supposed to run every 5 or 10 minutes!
11. Wait... Does that say a 40 minute wait....
12. CONSTRUCTION?!?! Again?!?!
13. ... But really, again? When does it end?
14. ...and all the benches are taken so I guess I'll be standing.
15. At least I have my phone for some music...
16. ....wait. This station is underground, no Pandora, there goes that idea.
17. ...I guess I can play that stacker game
*40 minutes later*
18. It's here! Finally!
19. okay! I gotta place myself correctly!
20. I don't want to be with the crowd.
21. ...okay move away from the people towards where the end of the train will be. There are more seats!
22. Okay, here we go...HOLD YOUR GROUND, the stampede of people will be coming out shortly.
23. Gosh, how many people can fit on one of these?
24. Nevermind, have your eye on the prize! Move quickly in!
25. Oh no, there are more people than I thought, where are the open seats?!?!
26. Eureka! Found one! Now I can play that game on the train, time will go by a little faster at least.
27. ....man there's a lady with a baby... I guess it wouldn't kill me to stand some more.
28. So much for that game...just 20 more minutes I can do it.
29. *train starts moving* oh yup,
I should have definitely held onto the pole thing
30. why is this person staring at me? Can you not? I'm just trying to ride the metro in peace.
31. okay avert your eyes, make no eye contact. Stay low until your stop.
