Disgruntled Commuters part 2

Monday one of my fellow commuters brought in a letter to the editor from one of the many NW Indiana newspapers. In it a woman described her horrors of 29 years of commuting on the South Shore trainline into Chicago. All of us were instantly struck by how lame some of her complaints were, as all of us in much shorter periods of time as commuters had seen much worse/stranger/ and more annoying things.

So sure enough the very next day (Tuesday morning) in my usual state of sleep on the 5 am train into work, I and everyone else on my train car gets woke up to hear a cellphone talker saying "Do you want to hear a secret?" loud enough for everyone to hear. Then she procedes to talk about wanting to shoot somebody that she is mad at. This was a 10 minute rant at the top of her lungs so that whoever was on the other side of this call could hear her. Ah you can't beat life on the old South Shore train.
