DC Commuter

Back here after a long break, OCONUS then Corpoos Cris-tee, Tay-has. Thought I was done with DC commuters. Guess not. 🇺🇸

DRIVER, IN MOTION, at same time: Sipping iced mocha. Applying eye liner. Smoking cigarette. Holding iPhone like ST Communicator. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

I can see how the right music in public places could help calm everyone. But @wmata's whistling song just seems calculated to be annoying at best and provoking at worst.

#PleaseStopPlayingThatSong

No, @wmata passenger taking up the entire platform, you do not HAVE TO swing your arms so wide that you hit me in the balls.

But you do.

@elmorant @mtamaryland .@mtamaryland needs to double the number of morning and evening buses.

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Hey guy on #Metro wearing full-cup noise-cancelling headphones constantly, loudly asking his friend to speak up:

REMOVE YOUR HEADPHONES.

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Even before crowded trains & poor service, can @wmata please do something about insufferable Nats fans on #Metro on game nights?? #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

@KathrynAegis @wmata Glad to hear that. For me, unfortunately, the shape is the exact opposite for my back problem.

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Same engineers who made the KouchTown couch must've done new @wmata seats. #stressposition #extremelyuncomfortable #badforbacks #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

It's sideWALK, not sideRIDE. Bicycles don't belong on any sidewalk, and every cyclist on one is a danger to pedestrians. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

When I adjust to make room for you to sit down, fellow @wmata rider, it's not an invitation to take half of MY seat as well.

#DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Yes, Apple spent millions developing the iPhone so Metro riders can hear the tinny drum track on the shitty songs you listen to. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

It's "Right on red AFTER FULL STOP." ALWAYS. EVERYWHERE.

You can't blow past a red light just b/c you're making a right. EVER.

.@wmata riders who think trains are the worst: try riding a #bus. #Dirty #AlwaysLate #SurlyDrivers #TextingDrivers #RudePassengers #Crowded

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Officials see @wmata, #Beltway etc as economic drivers...but what about opportunity costs for us losing 4+ hours a day commuting? #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

Metro riders w/backpacks are the worst commuters: hitting all they pass...esp. as they turn, w/out taking the pack into account. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

If you're going to cut me off and then drive 30 MPH below the speed limit, at least have an idiotic vanity plate I can mock. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

The law isn't "barely tap your brakes while you brush past your almost-victims" -- it's "STOP for pedestrians in crosswalk." #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

"Light traffic." "No delays." Really? The vaunted @Google algorithm strikes again. #DCCommute #Stella #DCSnow #DCTraffic

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

People say that DC-area drivers become batshit crazy when it snows, but to be fair, they become batshit crazy when it rains, too. #DCCommute

[DC Commuter @DC_Commuter]

If your wheels don't cease rolling & your vehicle doesn't rock back, you're not making a legal stop at a STOP sign or red light. #DCCommute
