This morning was a nightmare

I have no idea what was going on in people's heads this morning!  First, the commuter lot was full.  It probably wouldn't have been if people knew how to park in ONE space!  Then, on the Metro...seriously?!  People were practically falling out of the doors because it was so full and we spent more time sitting underground than moving!  So glad I finally made it to work!

I feel like I'm on the sun

You probably can't tell by this picture but the lights are fluorescent and blinding me!

So I suppose I should bring you all up to speed

For 4 months, I was working in Hyattsville, MD and now in Arlington, VA.  I certainly COULD drive but would you drive in this:

everyday?  Nope...me neither!  It's only around 50 miles but can take up to 3.5 hours in traffic like this.  If I did this regularly, I would likely make it on the news or on Snapped!

Here's a little visual treat...a sampling of the folks I've had the pleasure to view:

 

OK...so I'm ALWAYS hot and complain about it on a consistent basis.  So, I was on the VRE (Virginia Railway Express NOT vancomycin-resistant enterococci) on a particularly hot day dressed in very light clothing and looked up to see that...seriously guy??  A hoodie AND leather jacket?!  Made me sweat just seeing it!

 

And then we have this...a lady with the longest nails ever and she was draped in horribly gawdy bling.

 

But then this little treat evened it out.  Such a cutie pattootie for me to look at.  Thank you baby Jesus!

 

But alas...all good things must come to an end...the above picture is the latest of my findings.  I was on the orange line heading to Metro Center at the end of the day and this specimen walks in.  Wowee...his shoes sparkled with glitter and had a pretty sassy purse.  I wasn't sure what to make of it so I took a picture!

 

Waiting for the train to work in the morning, I look over and see this.  I couldn't figure out what in the world she was doing but she did this until the train came.  Made me giggle!

 

And a note to men...we really don't care if you are balding...seriously!  We do, however, care if you have a comb-over!  Just say no.

 

 

So, she sat across from me and jibber jabbered on her phone so loudly the whole way home...I wanted to punch her in the throat!

 

So, I stopped at Crystal City and had a glass of wine at one of the little places in there.  This couple sat there making out the whole time.  It was sooo gross.  All I could hear was their sloppy exchange!

 

 

 

Although this wasn't on my travels, it warrants mention.  So my friend Jay and I were at Ihop one morning in F'burg and this man walks in with these stuffed animals.  I figured a little kid would be following close behind.  Instead he sat by himself, positioned the animals and chit chatted with them.  We were so freaked out that we had to leave shortly after his appearance!  The stuffed animal whisperer.

 

Well, here we are

I have been taking methods of public transportation since I began working in/around Washington, DC.  Some of the "people" I have seen and met have been too crazy not to share with others.  Up until now, it's been kept to Facebook but that is about to change...you ready?
