What REALLY grinds your gears?

I basically quit a decent paying job in DC because I hated taking Metro everyday. Christmas time and when the Cherry Blossoms bloomed were by far the worst.

AMD, you mean to tell me you didn't get enough tips from your Spider Man impersonations on the Metro?

Hahaha, no, they didn't go over as well with the 7am work crowd as they did with the post-Caps game crowd. People are too uptight in the morning.

I hate hate hate the metro!!!! Rode it for two years. I would rather sit in the world's worst traffic jam then ride that horrible POS!

You know when you have been riding it to long when you can play this game. Name all the spots from where you start to your end destation, also tell me which side the doors open on (left or right) at each of those stops, whether it is a underground station or above ground, and does it have parking.

I use to know this for my trip and I rode back and fourth everyday from Vienna to Woodly Park. So horrible.

If you are not having a bad day go spend some time grabing connecting trains in Metro center between 5am and 9am or 4pm to 7pm, that will surely ruin your day!

I remember trying to rush home so that my family could go out for MY birthday dinner after work a few years back. Rushing home doesn't work when you're riding the Metro, and that day it was especially bad because apparently one train decided to try to hump another one...

I think it took me an extra 2 hours to get home and by that time it was too late to get anything besides pizza or fast food.

That's a great story 12th. What always amazes me about the Metro in DC is how inevitably at every station, at least one escalator isn't working. And there have been at least a handful of times that I've been in the middle of a long escalator ride and suddenly it just stops.

I think Toronto actually has the best subway system I've been on.

I rode the metro for 5 years... now I either drive or take my companies shuttle.

Not pushing in the clutch enough when I shift.

The fact that my power steering and some related parts are busted and it looks like it's going to cost me around $1000 to get it all fixed.

AHHH! YES. Topical humor at it's best!
