1. When they say there is another train coming, obviously that means you need to crush onto the train more. I know that the next one is not going to be the Braintree train you need, but that is just how it goes.
2. You know your large backpack and purse constitute a hazard on the train. You, like me, need to carry your life with you everywhere. Please take your bag off of your shoulder and either carry it around waist height or put it on the floor between your feet. It does make a difference. We are not as thick around our feet as our torsos.
3. You with the iPod. No, fine, really, you with the LOUD iPod. If we can bounce our heads in time with the beat or start to sing along, then your music is too darn loud. Please turn it down. The train is loud enough without the additional music, phone calls, etc.
4. MBTA officials. Please try to notify us of problems earlier. By the time you tell us there is a problem we've figured that out ThankYouVeryMuch, and are just grumpy. Quick communication allows you to come off as good guys rather than the biggest part of the problem.
5. During rush hour, please be considerate of how much space you are taking up. People do not always have the option to move, and your book that you insist on reading is poking into my back.
Hugs and kisses from the crowded train (but not real hugs and kisses, because that's cruel),
Me
