An almost 'win' for all your space are belong to us on the TTC

Surprisingly, This Crazy Train has developed a rather large TTC following. Are there no satirical TTC blogs out there with roving citizen-eye riders on the look-out for the rudest of rude? Or is it because I'm just so awesome? Well... I am.

I was on the TTC this morning, and these two yahoos decided to take the comfort of a three-seater subway car and turn it into a two-seater. The way they did this is by sharing a newspaper (sorry, the "Metro"; not a real newspaper) between them and effectively hiding the middle seat. Alas, their clever scheme only lasted one stop, before an elderly woman snuck in between them.
Go Granny go Granny go.

Guy on the left: "Got it. Look super engrossed."

Guy on the right: "Be sure to smile occasionally so people don't think you're that much of a douche for hogging a seat."
Guy on the left: "Got it. Look friendly."
Guy on the right: "Right. This way, little old ladies aren't scared to ask for a seat."
Guy on the left: "Got it. No stealing seats from nana."

    I agree. The Metro is a shit "paper". But what's worse, is that one handed out in the afternoons. The t.o.night rag. Pathetic.

    I'll admit it, I love t.o.night. It's a good, quick read to catch-up on the day.

    I only read it for the the Shout outs. Which I discuss with a coworker if we catch the same train. Otherwise, it has the New York Times Crossword puzzle and I like pretending that I am a smarty pants and whip through the Monday/Tuesday editions of that one.
