The second the seat next to her was free, she moved into this position.
And when the lady across from her vacated, she assumed this position.Normally I'd smack a person like this with my eyelids. I just have that ability. But with her iPod blaring, it was hard to get the beast's attention. As a side note, she spent most of the ride laughing hysterically to herself over the book she's reading which was clearly disturbing the guy sitting beside her who was trying to doze off. Everytime she cackled, she'd startle him awake.
The lady across from her kept giving the beast her best WTF face after every laugh.
Smack a person with your eyelids HAHAHAHA . . . brilliant!
ReplyDeleteForget about the "train rules", someone report her to the shoe police! And she needs a bra with more support!
whats wrong with that? her shoes were probably clean since the sidewalks etc. are clean, i think if people have mud, water or shit on their shoes then they shouldn't put them in the seat. Otherwise, i see no problem.
ReplyDeletewhats wrong with that? her shoes were probably clean since the sidewalks etc. are clean, i think if people have mud, water or shit on their shoes then they shouldn't put them in the seat. Otherwise, i see no problem.
ReplyDeleteREALLY? You see no problem with that? Would you put your feet on your furniture at home with your shoes on? Better yet, would you do it at someone's house? The answer should clearly be "NO". My nicely dressed ass may sit down on the seat at some point and no matter what you pay for your ticket/pass that doesn't give you the right to put your shoes on that seat! Some people were definitely brought up in a barn I guess.
ReplyDeletePublic transit is quite different then furniture at a private residence, can't compare so I don't see any problem still.
ReplyDeleteSince when are the sidewalks clean, whether they are mud or water/rain-free??? Are you on glue???
ReplyDeleteI think maybe Willy has been sniffing glue. You're the reason I carry my handy B&BW hand sanitizer in my purse.
ReplyDeleteWilly, let me know where I can meet you so I can serve you some cheesecake I threw on the sidewalk.
ReplyDeleteIf you won't eat something that fell on the street, then would eat it off a seat after seeing this donkey's behaviour. How about I pay you $20 for you to lick your shoe. Don't be stupid. You wouldn't do it, no matter how much you protest the sidewalks are clean.
No one's shoes are clean. That's impossible. Dirt is all over and dirt needs to remain on the floor, not on the seats.
f'n asshats some people, I tell you. Tell you what, if I knew who you were, I'd rub my feet in mud and coat your seat just before you sat down and see how you'd like it, Willy. Eh, willy? Jeesus.
ReplyDelete***then would YOU eat it off a seat after seeing this donkey's behaviour?
ReplyDeleteSee, all of these comments rebutting what I said earlier are pointless.
ReplyDelete"id rub my feet in mud and coat your seat" - silly guy, i already stated if shoes are clean (no mud, water or shit) then they should be fine, and $20 to lick my shoe? - If you lick GO Transit seats then thats your deal, but not related to sitting on a seat.
Comparing eating something off a sidewalk?? haha because that's so similar to sitting your fat ass on a public transit seat.
There is nothing wrong with putting your feet on a seat as long are they are clean!! I'm not talking 100% germ free, but seriously.. all those crackberries and purses have more bacteria then any shoe has!!
Come on people, find something serious to bitch about.
Willy,
ReplyDeletePerhaps You could give me a ride home on day and I wil stand on the seat of you car, Maybe ever sit in the back seat and drape my legs over the front seat or maybe just put my feet on the back of your seat.
I would think the fabric in your car is similar to go train seats, Oh but that is your property I would be abusing not someone else's so it's not ok then is it?
Do you think she actually checked her shoes before she lay her feet on the seat (I'm thinkin not) Point is it's rude, The fact is someone ensle is going to sit there at some point.
Yes, Willy, you are right. The street cleaning fairies of Toronto and the entire GTA work in mysterious ways.
ReplyDeleteWhatever. Point is, if I go in your house and put my shoes on your chairs or couch, most people would consider that inconsiderate no matter how clean my shoes are.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - my (earlier) point exactly. It's just common courtesy, something people are sadly lacking these days.
ReplyDeleteIf you're walking around on pavement, outside, dry, wet, muddy or not, your shoes are NOT CLEAN IDIOT!!! You see that shade of grey or black, that's called DIRTY you flippin retard.
ReplyDeleteHonestly people, sometimes I wonder why we even bother feeding into these dirty turnip's, they simply do.not.get.it. LOL
Who honestly cares?! I get the dirty shies on the seat part. I lift the seats up. The have velcrove underneath. So can be lifted.
ReplyDeletehonestly, I pay 250 a month every month. These coaches are so god damn fucking uncomfortable. They make my ass fall asleep. Lack of blood flow. They suck! So I figure fuck it! I'm going to be co forts Le for my 250 a month. It's the gov't fault I have to take the train. So the least they can do is make it more comfey. If not, I'm going to make my self comfy. So suck on that you winers.
Honestly if someone asked me to move my feet I'd say absolutely not. Unless of course they would like to sit. I also don't care about dirty looks. I speak up for my self, if someone is going to stare and give me dirty looks I'm going to ask them to please stop looking at me, it's creepy.
Finally the putting your feet up rule is not really enforced. I've never had a bombarder employee or transit security ask me to move them. So, I'm not going to stop dispite the bitching and moaning of this awesome blog.
Comfortable. Ugh the auto correct on this iPad 2 is beyond me...
ReplyDeleteJason, how on earth is it the government's fault that makes you take the train? They provide the service and like all services, you may decline to use them.
ReplyDeleteThe only saving grace to your slightly obnoxious post is that you admit to moving the seat cushion. So you at least have slightly more common curtesy than the leisure beast and her compatriots.
Hmmm let's see the gas tax? I'd drive if it were not for the gas tax. Be more informed before you attck me next time. Thanks :).
ReplyDeleteI don't see how that was an attack on you. BTW, how do you get to the train station? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI drive to whitby. I'd drive the whole way if it were not for the gas tax.
ReplyDeleteJason, the Gas Tax is a very minimal part of the overall cost of gas. You forgot to mention the GST and the HST that has been placed on it as well as the massive increase in cost due to speculators on the commodities market.
ReplyDeleteI never attacked you. I merely requested more information. That is how you become informed - ask questions. Especially question things that do not make sense when no extra information had been provided.
Maybe you should not show that you have such thin skin and immediately jump to conclusions.
Most people ride the train not only to save money in gas and parking but also to avoid congestion and reduce carbon emissions.
ReplyDeleteThe government is partly to blame for the environmental mess we are in. The gas prices are due to a volatile market where supply is controlled by third-world countries. Gas is 8 cents a litre in Venezuela right now. Of course, it doesn't help that our ability to buy gas is hampered by the taxes applied but really, it's more about what we can do to reduce the abuse gasoline-powered vehicles have on the air and nature.
Jason, you sound like a selfish uncaring person who has no regard for manners or respect for the world you live in. That's a shame because the world would be a much better place if we worked together to make train commuting more pleasant rather than working against the rules.
Thanks, Jason. I'm more informed already! Have a super afternoon!
ReplyDeleteRules? I've asked bombarder it's not a rule. They don't even care. Those songs are all old. Most of them are from the 80's. I'm not selfish. I just want to be comfortable. So you can shove it dick face.
ReplyDeleteActually Jason, Bombardier doesn't "rule" the trains. They built them. They don't govern the use of the trains.
ReplyDeleteGO Transit (MetroLinx) has rules and tariffs that govern the use of their service. One of those tariffs specifically states that feet are not allowed on seats. There are signs in some of the coaches that advertise this by-law.
It's different than smoking. It's not allowed.
Second, we're all adults here. Play nice!
The first sign that someone in the wrong is losing the argument is the reverting to insults. The second is shouting said insults. Maybe we should be thankful that Jason (the Troll) isn't writing in all caps.
ReplyDeleteThe troll love it. I hope that sticks. Honestly though if someone is going too be that nasty and say shit like that, dick face is the word that I'll use.
ReplyDeleteLol, its not a law. I've looked into it. I've talked with transit security. They have even said they do not care. Sooo all you people are shit out of luck. Come confront me, watch as I shoot you down and tell you to please stop bothering me or I'll have you removed from the coach and or train. Peace out.
ReplyDelete@Jason
ReplyDeleteReally? Security told you they don't care? Did you get the name of these officers? Because I can tell you that security does care. In fact, I can tell you that lots of people in the "know" read this website. They read. Many are in disbelief at the lies, entitlement, abuse and misconduct.
Would you light a cigarette in front of a security officer?
People are told to not put feet on the seats, not to litter, not to cross the tracks, not block doors, not to put luggage on seats.
This goes on quite a bit.
"Waaah, the mean old government makes me take the big green uncomfortable train, so I should be able to act however I want".
ReplyDeleteMove to Toronto or find a job in Whitby and stop complaining. Or do us all a favour and take VIA, your ass might get more blood flow so it all won't be going to your head.
@ Jason the Troll, Dick Face is 2 words. You cannot even come up with a coherent reply. You are in the wrong and the self-entitled attitude you are showing will come back and bite you in the gluteus maximus. I hope I am there to witness that occurence.
ReplyDeleteThey don't enforce it. Get over it:).
ReplyDeleteWhat I would like to understand is that you shelled out several hundred bucks for an Ipad 2 as well as a train ticket. Then cry about the cost of gas and therefore your inability to drive to work. Have you thought about carpooling? That would solve both of your issues.
ReplyDeleteLol it's not the money. I also happen to care about the environment. It's also the fact that I haye payi g the gov't anything. So they get less money if I take the train.
ReplyDeleteOmg read the context. I said they get less money.
ReplyDeleteUm, Jason?
ReplyDeleteGO Transit is the government. When you buy your ticket, your money goes into the provincial government's pocket. Dalton's pocket.
How do they get less money? You buy your ticket, it goes to the provincial govt. You buy gas, it goes to the Feds and the provincial govt. You include the ticket on the income tax return, you get a tiny portion of the money back. But in the end, one govt or the other will have your money. So, explain: how do they (they who) get less money?
ReplyDeleteWell I can rest easy tonight knowing Jason cares about the environment.
ReplyDelete@ B.
ReplyDeleteI think it was an after-thought that made him bring that up. He saw that is other argument was full of holes and latched onto that one.
But still, it is one of the reasons why I take it. And I walk to the station too.
Aw, Jason. Looks like you're not having a super afternoon after all. Whether or not something is "in the rules," common courtesy and politeness to your fellow commuters should still rule the day. Karma's a bitch and she bites hard.
ReplyDeleteA good topic for the poll.
ReplyDeleteAre foot riders:
() Justified?
() Who cares?
() Self-centered, juvenile Jasons?
Here's a question for Jason - With the warmer weather here, myself and many other women will be going with bare legs therefore bare feet. How do you feel about me kicking off my shoes at the end of a long day and putting my sweaty feet on the seats?
ReplyDeleteLmao
ReplyDeleteWow. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.
That's totally fine so long as your lifting the seat up. They are attached by velcrove.
ReplyDeleteBecause the gas tax is more? And the percentage that I'd get back is lower duh. God you people need to read more.
ReplyDelete@ Jason
ReplyDeleteNo, we do not need to read more. I read quite enough and I completely understand how the provincial tax system works - considering how it makes up the vast majority of my job.
You tell people to get the context of your arguments. However, you provide no substantial information for said arguments. And you switch the reasoning behind the various ones depending on how well you can defend your position. Which at this moment in time is similar to Rome and the Barbarians at the gates. Lost.
Meh, I'm right you wrong right? That's what I say. :D
ReplyDeleteJason - How about I put my sweaty feet on your lap for a nice foot massage instead and give you a lesson in spelling and grammar at the same time?
ReplyDeleteHow about I tell you to go f**k your self.
ReplyDelete@lswgirl13... 4:02pm
ReplyDeleteLOL! Good one!
You complained that we were being nasty.
ReplyDeleteYet here is a prime example of pot meet kettle. You have been the only one swearing (astrices aside) at us.
Face it, you are the minority. We do not like you and your nasty, self-centred ways. And if I meet you on that train, I will say something to you about your ignorant behaviour.
Sorry Jason, I don't think that's physically possible and besides, I'm just not that bendy.
ReplyDeleteJason
ReplyDeleteThis is your boss.
Get back to work!
My boss is not here... Sorry. You also do not know where I work. Soo stfu.
ReplyDeleteIf you see me on the train and talk to me, be sure I'll have you charged for harressment. Don't push yoour luck lady. :).
ReplyDeleteThey will not charge someone with harrassment for asking you to remove your feet from the seat.
ReplyDeleteChances are, if you behaved in public like you are behaving on here, you would be the one charged with harrassment.
No because you are bringing it from an out side source you'd be charged. Don't be stupid:).
ReplyDeleteHarassment charges for talking to someone. Yeah, ok. Sure. You go on believing that.
ReplyDeleteObvious troll is obviously trolling. Move along people, nothing to see here.
My word! Go bowling for a few hours and all heck breaks loose on here. I think Jason needs a nap.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how five people sent me emails asking me to wade in here and "break it up".
ReplyDeleteNo way, man.
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
And end scene! Thanks for coming out and participating in thiscrazytrain.com's theatrical performance of Beware... the Leisure Beast. It's been fun and I'm sure we'll do it again with another zany adventure. Today's performance was brought to you by the letters "G" and "O".
ReplyDeleteHaven't laughed so hard or been so unproductive in an afternoon in ages. And it wasn't even Friday!
CJ,
ReplyDeleteCan we do something with Jason and a new banner?
I'm open. Hit me.
ReplyDeleteI think it really comes down to the fact that it's impolite to put your shoes up on seats.
ReplyDeleteShoes go on the ground! Just like how it's rude to talk on the phone during a movie, it's rude to put your shoes on seats. It doesn't matter how clean they are. Just don't do it!
PS: Jason is just being inconsiderate. You pay $250 a month, yes. But so does everyone else. They don't pay $250 a month to sit on the seats you soiled.
ReplyDeleteSo they are spoiled how??! Fuck your stupid. Doont respond e-tard.
ReplyDeleteShe said soiled, Not spoiled, Twit,
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you knew how to spell, now I wonder if you know how to read.
Takes one tro know one, eh stupid!??
Oh my bad. Soiled*
ReplyDeleteBitch.
Cj, I respect what you're doing here but when u allow people like jason to desecrate the site with profanity and harrass your readers, you lose all credibility.
ReplyDeleteNo she doesnt.
ReplyDeleteNothing to do woth CJ, this is a forum, it's not like I am taking offence to some putz who I don't know calling me names. I think (as shown in the missing posts) her readers can adequately defend themselves.
Oh and Jason,
ReplyDeleteYo Momma.
It's pretty easy for any outsiders coming upon this discussion to figure out who the people in the right are, and who the 20-somethings with a false sense of entitlement living in their parents' basements are.
ReplyDeleteOmg shut up you stupid old people. By old I mean stuck in the 70's. Fuck, shut the fuck up.
ReplyDeleteJason is symptomatic of a society that doesn't discipline its children as the grow up, so they never escape their "I'm the center of the universe" bubbles. Companies all over are finding it difficult to deal with this new generation of "I'm special" kids that are really nothing special, just spoiled.
ReplyDeleteBasically, dad wasn't around often enough to kick his ass when it deserved to be kicked, and now we all have to put up with product.
Wow - that was an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteThe terrible spelling was an art form in itself.
I am a half a century old and found that it read like a bad comedy skit but unfortunately also very funny.
The things people will say and do when they are not face to face, or when they are face to face.
It's too bad that 33 of them went AWOL.
ReplyDeleteI know! I was so proud of some of mine that I posted under my name and under Jen. But at least some people are staying true to form.
ReplyDeleteHey, did those missing posts finally show up on their own? I hope CJ did not spend the weekend restoring them manually. Looks like they're back though. :o)
