[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public outings are *ssholish behavior, even if your own sh*t don't stink.  You are just asking for Karma to come bite you.

When I read that the employee had to get to another train (due to malfunction on another train) and had no time for lunch I had sympathy for her.

I don't tend to get up in other people's business and I've never been a fan of social media.  This just confirms my feelings on it.  I also never post pictures of strangers and comment on them---that's just wrong.[/quote]

I think almost everyone who wants to eat on public transit has some sort of reason or excuse, otherwise they wouldn’t feel the need or desire to do it. That’s what creates an entitlement attitude - people feel entitled to speed because THEY are running late or have other things to do, they feel entitled to talk during performances because THEY have something they want to say, they think they can throw a piece of their trash on the ground or leave it on a bench because they JUST have one piece, etc. It’s a very slippery slope when people start believing that the rules don’t apply to them.

And that’s before we even start considering the implications of one race breaking rules and people never being allowed to call them out on it because they’re untouchable.[/quote]
