Subway Chronicles Pt. 10: “Get Your Ass Off the Train Old Lady!”
TEN! We are at the 10th installment of this entertaining Subway Chronicle series. This is a very proud moment for me, I would like to thank Clev, Randy –oh eff it, I will save the dramatics, just know that I’m happy to still be writing and even happier your all are still reading. Thanks to the readers from all over the world (truly) who take time to read AH, much appreciated.
Now, I know I haven’t posted one of these in a while but I didn’t want to mess a good thing up and just post for the sake of posting. So I waited, and waited, and today my eyes landed on this comedic GEM; only fitting for the 10th installment of the Subway Chronicles.
So here I am heading home with head held high after a very productive day. I’m firing away at brickbreaker trying to beat my high score (10550, ha!) while leaning against the train door (I didn’t mean to rhyme, i swear.) Very packed train, folks are filing out little by little stop by stop. Now for the folks that don’t know, 71st and Continental is a very popular stop on the F train, apparently this innocent sweet-heart of an old lady wasn’t fortunate enough to have stumbled upon this post a day earlier.
At this stop a drove of people scurry to exit the train (even forcing me to put my brickbreaker attempts on hold, pmo.) This causes some serious hustle and bustle that the old lady in the back of the line just seemed to NOT realize. “Granny Loss” (as she will be referred to) was the last one to exit the train with both hands filled with the most up to date goodies from the supermarket.
She CAREFULLY peeked out to check the gap between the train car and the platform and JUST LIKE that WHOOOSH! The doors came closing RIGHT on Granny Loss’ shoulders with her head sticking out the other side of the train! At first I could not believe, then, i just could NOT stop laughing, I could NOT contain my chuckle, I couldn’t. Bags fell to the floor and all! I wish you have my view, as I was standing by said door I could see the the part of her that was still on board, and the other half STUCK outside. She was fine though, luckily. I thought she was a goner. (jk! Maybe, perhaps…mayhaps)
When I finally took a seat, I was still laughing while doing the standard peer around the train to see who else was grinning. Bad idea, caught eyes with another female citizen and it was like Medusa with grey hair! I was petrified. RIGHT BACK to brickbreaker, never looked up again until it was my stop. *Phew.
P.S. (Random but funny) One lady comes over to another at my place of employment and says:
Lady 1: Nice wallpaper, but what’s up with the chickens?
Chicken Lady: Oh, i just like them, my family has a farm so we have a whole bunch of chickens back home.
Lady 2: Ohh, I see, I always wondered…
Chicken Lady: Yupp, why? do you think it’s weird?
Lady 1: Oh no, I’m used to that stuff, I had two cocks back home. (*walks off…)
***PAUSE***
EXCUSE ME LADY? Please, Just please clear up those statements before you issue them publicly. THANKS!
(Clev and Randy you are a good set of folks, plenty thanks. Long Live AH!)


Poor old lady! You should be ashamed, Musin! Ashamed!

Whitney,
You are never too old to be dumb, especially not if your good enough to be riding the NYC subway system. What do doors do? Open and …. CLOSE! She knew it was coming, she knew it!
No remorse here, take your pity party down the block. They are serving pity pie and pity punch and from perception a pretty pleasurable pu-pu pity platter. Peace!

They have a special spot for you reserved in Hell. I called and made the reservation.

I’m not a sick and twisted old-people-hating sadist, but I have to agree with Musin on this one. If it were a twenty-year-old man, no one would care and it would be funny. You’re supposed to respect the elderly, but it’s not like Musin closed the door on her head; she caused it herself with her stupidity. It’s not like she was crossing the Nile; it was a five-inch gap (if even that big) to the platform.
