Anyone who’s ever ridden Metro at any point in their lives has been frustrated at some point. The trains take forever to show up, people won’t move towards the middle, there are delays, track work, etc., etc., etc. It’s the new death and taxes. Sometimes the frustration causes a reaction, like emails or phone calls to Metro, being rude to other passengers, or the usual grumbling. Sometimes you need to appeal to a higher power. Maybe they can put in a good word for us.

Overheard of the Week

On the Green Line when the Pope was in town:

A guy in a large jacket jumps on the Green line, almost getting his jacket caught in the door.

As he’s struggling with the jacket he yells, “Jesus Christ!”

He turns to see he is surrounded by priests on their way to see the Pope.

We can only post the funny stuff if you send us the funny stuff. Keep listening and sending to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com

After the jump, cupcakes, non racist racism, and Dan’s Cafe.
