Ah, Metro. Scorn of Washingtonians everywhere, and unfortunate mode of transportation to descending tourist hordes. In this edition, I pick on this poor lady but she’s really symptomatic of a trend I’ve noticed in recent months when standing on the platforms. Several years ago Metro installed these boxy, rather pointless info tote boards where you […]
All I wanted to do was pick up a pizza. Normally I am fine with letting parents do what they have to do to keep a kid entertained. My dog has a longer attention span than a young kid so I understand you gotta do whatever it takes to keep the kid from causing all […]
Just so you know, I wasn’t crazy when I pointed out this guy last week. See, he’s back at it again. I can’t escape his insanity. Although I did respect the fact that later on in the ride he actually leaned up against the door of the train. Just him and his sudoku, trying his […]
Oh yeah, I love you all that much I’m bringing you another post today. This idiot has been on my radar for some time now. As a 12-year resident of DC, I’d like to think I’ve seen all manner of Metro rail passengers. The sleepers, the talkers, the singers, the panhandlers, the almost-nekked, etc. This […]
I love the Olympics. The wife and I have been spending much of the last two weeks watching the Olympic trials, getting to know names and faces of athletes so we know who to cheer for in a few weeks when the London Games begin. Get me random athletes competing in even more random sports […]
I value my train ride into the office each morning. I want peace and quiet. I guess if I really wanted it I would drive a car and be alone, but I care about the planet and all that jazz. So instead, all I want is to read my book and gear up for the […]
Let’s all say it together … doughnut. It’s called a doughnut, you idiot. Good grief. Is there anything stressful about this situation that would cause someone to blank this much? Hope we don’t have to see how he handles an oval office meeting when he can’t identify the nation on a map that he wants […]
I got on the Metro the other day and this fool was sitting there with three piping hot pizza pies resting on his lap, drumming his fingers loudly while staring ahead. It was a bold “I’m announcing my presence with hot, fresh, good-smelling food” and at the same time “I’m peeing in a semicircle to […]
It’s been a long time since I last gave you fair readers an Idiot of the Day but I have a great one for you from my recent vacation to the West Coast. Our flight from Baltimore to Las Vegas was a special one because of this lady who decided she was going to go […]
When I was back in Florida for my friend Molly’s wedding, there were lots of good memories and reminders that I got about the things I liked about my time in the sunshine state. But naturally there were other reminders, once you looked past the warm weather and endless golf courses, of the bad things […]
