Idea: Better PA
And less PDA on BART. I don’t want to be sitting in your lady sperm or man eggs. Wait til you get to your dark alley and have at it.
On the BART this morning, not ahead of schedule, running pretty late, but eh, boss never says anything. Sittin back, noticed a tall guy about to get off at El Cerrito Plaza, fixing his phone, which mind you, is clipped to the front of his pants. No, not the pocket, or on the belt, on the front, right next to the fly. Hmm, unusual placement, but eh, again, my boss never says anyt…. oh no wait, to each their own. But then I notice as he pulls his Mr. Bean shirt over his phone…ah, yes I understand the placement now.
Ladies and Gentleman, the Cell Phone Cod Piece. Cell Phone. Cod Piece. I should have snapped a picture, but I already cursed the cell phone developers yesterday. I’ll give them a break.
I chuckled and sat back listening to the next station announcement. Well, trying to listen.
“Ladys…. *scrambled*….. El Cerrito *scrambled*…….door problem …… *scramble*…. something something something. I tried to gather what he said, my best guess was that El Cerrito Del Norte was going to be the last stop because the train was broken or something. So I said eh, my boss… oh.. I’ll just get off, and then get on the next Richmond train. So I get off, looking around, making sure I had gotten the message right and it seemed that everyone was getting off. But the train announcer guy said “Richmond bound train” bla bla blee bloo, but I continued to ignore and got off anyways.
And I shouldn’t have. I just ended up sitting on a sticky bench at Del Norte, ignoring a girl that was quietly pestering me for money while I uploaded pictures from my phone to flickr. Freezing mind you.
So BART, please, a better PA system, I can’t hear the operators yell at us when the train is whizzing down a tunnel and a clocking 34mph. And while you’re at it, a nice spy cam so I can peep in on the patrons leaving their love juices on the seats.
