Well this is a perfect end to what was a long day at work! I'm on the 11:13 with a bunch of assholes and one of them just vomited all over the aisle. They think this is hilarious. They're just a bunch of kids. I think only one of them is 19. On a seat beside them is a box of Coors Light. Can you bring open alcohol on the train? I've considered pressing the strip because I think they should all be tossed off but I don't want problems. I'm not saying you're the GOD of transit but what would you do in this situation?

One of the guys took off his shirt and wiped most of it and then he threw his shirt in the trash on the platform. I'm so glad they got off at Ajax.

    That was pretty good they cleaned it,
    Young kids drinking, good odds they will be sick, better odds they would leave a puky mess in aisle.

    Good for them for making an effort.

    Thing is, you didn't really do anything?! How odd people would text you, like you're a live link to all of life's problems.

    PS. why doesn't GO allow for people to text CSR? just a thought.
