[...] Well, come on. More passengers and more crowded trains might probably maybe just possibly result in more delays. And just like SUBWAYblogger, the MTA is trying to blame Mr. Last Minute Arrival Guy. [...]

I have also met his wife: ‘Last Minute Arrival Lady’ and I hate her just as much!

Oh, I don’t know about this one. I think we’ve all done this before, right? You see room in the middle of the car; you really want to make the train. So you just cram in a little. And more often than not, the “yeah there is” rebuttal is right.

This one’s hard to call. Often enough, there *is* room in the middle of the car, and there *are* self-appointed “special” people perching by the door instead of moving in — and if they’d do the right thing, last-minute guy’s arrival wouldn’t be a problem for anyone. Doesn’t mean he has a right to be an ass, of course.

Last Minute Arrival Guy will be the one to eventually find a seat, start reading his paper, then fall asleep. Then when his stop comes, he’ll wait until everyone has disembarked to notice that this is indeed his stop. People have already started to board, but he chooses this point to dart out of his seat and try to push his way out anyway.

When I run into these guys they usually point into the train and start saying, “Move into teh center, there’s room!” Whether or not there’s any TRUTH to that statement, that’s another story.

So, yes indeed, last second guy, whether he’s dashing on or off the train is a nuisance.

I LOVE your blog.
