In the quest to be green/
ecologically friendly, my new year's resolution was to take public transportation, and walk to the corner store versus drive. A
recommendable resolution no doubt, it has however left me more traumatized than I had anticipated:
1) I've been shocked by watching a woman at the tube station make a four course meal from buggers in her nose.
2) I've been packed like a sardine in
tube coaches, and when I thought we couldn't possibly fit another human being in the coach, a guy larger than
Pavarotti at he's heaviest squeezed in! I still have my wallet imprinted on my rear! And after being in close
proximity with people you would think I'd be more
friendlier... oh hell no! I'm crabby and have a rude retort at the ready to even the guy who hands out the metro newspaper, he now just quietly hands it over
3) IN trying to be a good employee and get to work early, I calculate my commute to work, and since I want to be a healthy human have started walking to the train station, however, some twit decided to stalk me in the wee hours of the morning...6:30am!!! I do not leave the house until sun up...literally, I'm not in the mood of making a 30 minute brisk walk 15 minutes again! Not to mention people always look at you funny when you're sweating profusely in the train on a cold day!
SO screw being green! I'm not interested in being squashed in a train coach, because national rail want to reap a bigger profit instead of adding more coaches. I do not want to be stalked on the walk to the train station by the neighborhood psychopath. So I spit in the eye on
conservationist, I laugh in the face of
eco-warriors, I'll spout carbon dioxide like a cow burping methane gas! Being green should not increase my discomfort, it's bad enough I have to work, I don't have to be miserable about it!
