Me first ...

Waiting for 6:18 LSE train. There has to be over 100 DDD's on track 11. Notice the herd under the red light in the picture.

What's a DDD? Definition here.

What the picture doesn’t show is that if I turned 45-degrees to my right and snapped another photo, you’d see just about as many DDD’s on the other end of the platform too. There was also a DDD in a blue golf shirt directly across from me who kept staring me down, as if he had some god-given right to board on the wrong track and his death-glare would somehow melt my blackberry while I held it in my hand. I should have taken his picture too, but I was too busy sending you the shot that I already took.

The irony of the DDDs though, is that it’s ENTIRELY unnecessary. I mean, even with THAT many DDD’s last night (and frankly, I was shocked at the size of the herd. For a minute, I thought it was another train coming in and either they were all facing the wrong way, or somehow I mis-read the departure board), I got on with the proper folks on Track 12 and STILL got a seat in a completely empty quad. So, I rhetorically ask the DDDs: “What’s the f-cking point?”

A sense of entitlement. They are too lazy or stupid to work to merit it, so this is a cheaper way than buying a german luxury car...

Caught the 9.15 lse tuesday night and even at that hour there were DDD's. Couldn't believe it!
