The Rover Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 When riding the Electric Rail lines around Dallas, I like to use a sealed foam Sports Cushion. It's 11 3/4" X 15 3/4". They are made by Sports Authority, and sell for $9.99. They come in Black, Blue, and Red, withe the Sports Authority Logo. It looks something like this in shape: There are also sealed vinyl foam cushions available on the internet, but Sports Authority's online website, does not offer the sealed foam or sealed vinyl cushions.

Charles J.

OW! OW! OW! OW! DON'T POKE ME LIKE THAT!!!' The girl was shocked and just stared at him for a moment and then walked off the train as he yelled after her: 'YOU SLUT!!!' I was right across from him and I had to laugh out loud at that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planted Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Let me tell you, after these last 2 weeks paying for a car that doesn't run (my regular loan payment) and paying for a rental on top of that.... I could be persuaded to leave the driving to someone else. Seems to me there are many more stories of road rage between drivers than incidents of bad behavior on buses, trains, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Girl Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well,since I live in the 'boonies', I have no way of getting any where unless I drive myself. I would be nervous about riding with strangers & paying a fee to get from A to B. But, props to you who have to use public transportation. You are braver than I am.

redrum Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 A funny story from the MUNI in San Francisco. I was sitting in the middle of the bus and it was fairly crowded. An old guy gets on and sits next to a guy reading a newspaper (I was always amazed at how people could fold the paper to make it smaller as they read it on the bus). Anyway, this old guy is just a happy go lucky type and he starts asking trivia questions hoping anyone would answer him. Meanwhile there's this dimwit in the back seat huffing glue in a bag and he starts answering this old guys questions. So on it went and when the old guy asks: 'Does anyone know the biggest city in the world?'...and the guy sitting next to him with the paper pipes up: 'NO! But I know who has the biggest MOUTH in the world!' And the whole bus cracked up at that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experiences have found good manners to be in short supply and 9 times out of 10, any troubles that arise, a lack of even reasonably good manners is usually the starting point . That said, it's the same no matter where you go with the difference being, on public transit, you're usually in a crowded space where it can be almost impossible to ignore or avoid. Policing and enforcement of transit regulations can help with a given situation but in the big picture, they can't solve the problem. Imho, cameras on public transit have actually created more problems than they have solved because back in the days before cameras, good passengers could get away with solving the problem themselves and I've seen it done many times.

Fool In The Rain 60 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Someone who takes a shower everyday with soap perhaps? That would solve the problem of the 'Rank offensive Traveller', but what do you do about the ones who seem to 'Bathe in the Perfume Bottle' which can be just as offensive to some.

Disco Duck Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Public transportation is giant circus act, imagine travelling home during a hard day at the office and suddenly find yourself in something like a show on the telly: The language is hot so be warned before clicking on the link I'm betting she's either under the influence or off her meds.
