I take the C-Train every day because I find it more convenient than driving. Just getting that out of the way. It isn't THAT bad.

But rant away...(copied from previous ranting

• Waiting for the train: You don't have to walk quickly beside the train to catch up with the door as it pulls in to the station. You see, there is another door further down. Yep, down there...where you were standing.
• Doors: They don't close if you are in the doorway. Kind of like how the front door on your house won't close if you standing in the frame, and how you can't get your car door shut if you leg is still poking out. Yea, like that.
• The advertisements with a little pad of "please take one" sheets. Just an all around bad idea. Nevermind the fact that they are out of reach of those standing in the aisle, and the people in the seats can't see or reach them...they just blow around in the ing wind! BAD idea.
• Even if you are from out of town, and don't know which side of the train stops are at...when you pull up to a stop and are pressing the button to get out the door, on the WRONG SIDE, you can't play the "I'm from out of town" excuse. You see that sheet of glass dividing the inside of the train from the outside? The window? You notice how if you look outside...there is no platform? WRONG SIDE.
• Perfume: In general, I find perfume unpleasant. Maybe not so bad as I gently brush your hair away with a deft movement of my hand, and softly kissing your neck as the light scent tantilizes my nose. But when you are on the other ing side of the train and I smell your ty old lady perfume, just...die.
• Buttons: If you press it, and it doesn't open the door, you didn't press hard enough. It doesn't mean it is broken and you have to frantically pound the door for someone inside to let you on the train.
• PC(ish): Mentally Handicapped people: Do they really know which stop to get off at? Well, at least they can figure out how to press the button.
• Junior/High school kids: Just...shut...up. Can't you have a normal conversation with your friends, without YELLING! And you know...the bars and poles are for holding on to, not swinging from. It's called a playground, and go find one if you want to act like you are 6.
• Random people starting conversations: In general, I'm not going to complain about it. The train can be impersonal, and if you strike up a conversation...no biggie. But can you do me a favor, and not TALK LOUDLY when I am right in front of you. Not everyone on the train needs to hear.
• To the preacher lady: Burn in hell.
• Groups of people walking across bridges: Make some room. For others. To walk by.
• Escalators: If you are walking towards it, and notice it isn't moving, you don't have to back up and and go walk up the stairs. If you look closely at an "out of order" escalator, it closely resembles stairs.
• When the train 'announcer' announces the wrong stop: Don't try and make a joke. It happens every day. Not that out of the ordinary.
• More about doors: You know how if you want to open a door, and you have to move out of the way? The same thing with doors on the train.
• Heat: In the winter, people wear jackets. Therefore, cranking up the heat means the train is uncomfortably warm. Is it just me? I take off my jacket in the winter and am sweating away in my t-shirt.
