[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the metro employee for this:

"You worry about yourself."

That is perfect advice.[/quote]

So that’s an acceptable thing to say when you are caught doing something wrong?  I’m so going to use that next time I get pulled over for something.

Cop: “ma’am,[b] I pulled you over because you were doing 75 in a 55mph zone.”[/b]

Me: “worry about yourself.”

PP would LOVE me. And DCUM would be so proud!  [/quote]

That would be the cop’s job.

Questioning the metro worker eating and posting that photo was not Metro Mandy’s job.[/quote]

So what you are saying is that unless it it your job, no one can call out another person for doing something wrong?  So if one of the off leash morons in my neighborhood has his dog off leash, because I’m not Animal control I can’t tell him it’s illegal to have your dog off leash in our county, and then request him to leash his dog, because it’s NOT MY JOB TO DO THAT?

This is priceless. [/quote]

It’s not your job! MYOB. Why is that a hard concept to grasp?! [b]You call the person whose job it actually is to handle those situations.[/b] He’s not going to put a leash on his dog bc you decided to confront him. You are no one and have no authority. If you want to patrol ppl and tell them what is illegal or not then you are setting yourself up. Ppl have actually gotten killed for what you think is your right to do. [/quote]

Umm . . . Isn't the tweet that is the subject of the OP the equivalent of contacting the person whose job it is to handle the situation?  The writer sent a tweet tagging WMATA that one of its employees was eating on the train.  [/quote]

She publicly tried to shame this person and get this person fired. She could have very well sent them a private message on Twitter. Or email. Or called them. Are you really that dense?[/quote]
