To all of you, one of you..none of you?

Today was just surreal. I've heard about how bad CityRail trains are, believe me I understand. Today..today was just my day, my ticket to witness the height of human failure.

So we start off with my dinky little self on the way to the station, to catch my train home. I'm tired, grumpy, in need of a good shower. 5 minutes til my next train. Seeing that 5 minutes turn into 60 minutes really grinds my womanhood. Some idiot decides to take a walk on the platforma sandwich and a diet coke later, I am now back to 5 minutes. I'm just tired, I and throws the train schedule into this whirlwind of fuckshit. So a couple of cigarettes, did not want to deal with World Youth Day youths scurrying around me breathing their excitement all over my big bowl of fuckoff.

That 5 minutes turns into 10 minutes.

I honestly thought that my rage and frustration would result in a nose bleed or early period. Either way, I expected something to start bleeding.

Train comes and I fall asleep. Waking up here or there just to make sure that some thief hasnt nicked my handbag or a random mongatard feeling me up. My stop comes and I feel like i've "recharged" and I make my way up to the door and realise that there is this fucking untolerable smell. Trains get smelly, this was different. I found the source, shit. Fecal matter in a coffee cup with the lid just carefully placed next to it. The train is air-conditioned, so you can't crack a window open and give your olfactory senses a chance to recuperate, just sit through the next station with the re-circulating air.


So before you complain about rail officers, delayed trains, packed trains, broken seats, trains littered with MX papers etc. just remember this entry. Unless you have sat through a closed-off carriage, with a coffee cup ticked latte, only the latte is finished and the consumer decided to leave his/her own stool sample, then you've had an amazing journey home.

i hate cityrail and the recirculating airconditioning.
