From now on I expect drawings of every kind of crazy sh*t you see, m'kay?

MS sent this in. Drawings are better than photographs. Period.

She writes: Well it finally happened to me. I have a GO story to share! A donkey who thought it was okay to put her bare feet on the seat.

My coworker and I were on the 5:20pm LSE last night. We sat down in a quad with one other fellow. Then just before we left Union, a woman settled into the fourth seat. At Danforth, the fellow left and after we left Danforth, the woman proceeded to remove her shoes and put her feet up on the seat.

This woman must have thought she was on the couch at home. She was just all sprawled right on out. My coworker was getting agitated and who could blame her? One, it's gross, and two, it's stinky! (Skunks might have been offended by the odour emanating from her feet.)

My coworker finally had enough and asked her put her feet down. Very politely at first. The woman asked why. So my coworker jams her finger on the sign that shows no feet on the seats and says "That's why!"

The woman ignored her and she repeated her request.

The woman claims she wasn't feeling well and needed to put her feet up. Again she was asked to put her feet down. No dice. Then the woman proceeds to have a one-way conversation with herself about how she's getting a headache because of the talking by the two women in her area (that would be my coworker and me. Yes we were chatting but using our library voices).

I just rolled my eyes at my coworker and said "I sense a shout out or the crazy train." She agreed. Then we both burst out into a fit of giggles and couldn't stop for about 10 minutes.

Had the woman actually gone to sleep I might have tried for a picture but couldn't do it. However, I did put my "artistic" drawing skills to good use. This is my drawing of my coworker's reaction.

    I like how you perceive yourself, or as you indicated on the picture "me"??? Though your art, I am left with the impression that you are trying to show that you are the everyman's commuter, invisible to those without manners.

    @lswgirl13: Actually, it was just laziness on my part for me not having legs... But I like your perspective too! :o)

    If you really are legless, perhaps the accessibility car is where you should be ;-)
