Something About Stephanie

So I think this replacement iPod may in fact be a problem... will be hard to ear hustle on BART and have interesting blog stories. I'll have to listen with one ear phone in, one ear on the hustle.

Side note: thanks Stephers for pointing out there was some suspicious whitish substance in my hair today. Very "Something About Mary" ;)

If your ass is this big...

Ok, so I'm by no means a small chick. I'm a healthy size 16, and as my bf likes to put it... all T&A. That said, my booty still fits on one half of the BART seats, it still fits comfortably (ok, are plane seats EVER that comfortable?) on an airplane seat, and various other places.

Today, I was sat on. Literally. A Very Large Woman sat down next to me with an emphatic WHUMPH! Her ass was so big, part of her right leg was actually on mine. I was trapped! No where to go. At that point in time, getting up wasn't even an option... I started feeling claustrophobic and VERY uncomfortable.

Then I flashed back to a conversation one of my favorite dog/chat boards had about airlines requiring big people to pay for 2 seats if they could not fit comfortably in one. It was a pretty lively discussion. I am of the mind that you should have to buy two seats if you are that big, and make the person next to you squished. It's not fair to them.

So, I ask you fair readers... should this woman have stood up, or was it acceptable for her to sit on her seat mate?

I have interesting experiences on BART. Most are interesting in a not-so-good way.

Herbert from Family Guy was sitting by me!

Seriously... he didn't resemble him so much as he sounded like him. It was creeping me OUT.

My beloved co-worker Brian can imitate him perfectly. I need to record it. My skin is crawling right now!

Oh, no she dinnit!

Overheard on BART today: a woman on her nice cell phone talk about her 5 kids and how she is scamming welfare. She's got quite a little racket going, with the help of another person. Right now she's only making $3200 a month off that but if she wins her appeal (does this mean she was getting this much before?!), she'll be back in the 6K range.

What am I doing wrong!? Oh yeah. Working hard, having morals (damn them anyways), being honest, and not having kids.

not seen on BART, rather Kaiser

I'm staring at a girl in the orthopedics dept. that's in a leg cast, has crutches, and a 5" stiletto on her good foot!

YOU GO GIRL!

BRUSH YOUR everlovin' TEEF!

on BART: I wonder, do this many people have stank breath and just not know it? WHY do they always sit next to ME!?

It's either them, or the "I just smoked a pack-o-cigs" people. CLEAN it up folks, we're in close quarters have some respect.

N. Concord station agent jerk, I hate you!

My BART ticket wouldn't work so I handed it to the rude geriatric agent. He scowls and asks where I got it. Um, the mail where I always do? It was a brand new ticket with over $58 on it. Just used it yesterday. I've been BARTing long enough to know how to keep my tickets fresh and magnetized.

He keeps dicking around with it but won't tell me (can't is more like it) why it won't work. My train is pulling in as he's scowling at me. I said "that's my train I need to go! Please write me a day pass!" They do this all the time and just subtract the ride amount from your ticket. His response: "you have to buy a new ticket. This one won't work is giving a strange error." I was furious. I should not have had to buy another ticket, and he made me miss my last train. I'm going to write a complaint. Fucker.

The icing on the cake? When I got to the Embarcadero station where they could help me, I asked her what was wrong with it. Her answer? "De-magnetized" ARGH!

Commuting almost 3 hours a day is stressful and expensive as it is... and these arseholes make 100K a year plus, to do WHAT? Stress me out? :)

Cigarettes vs. tree hugger kids

I am wondering which of her train seat mates is worse. The guy who just smoked a pack-o-cigs or the spoiled tree hugger's kid eating and drinking his breakfast?

where do you put your junk, dude?

Seen in BART station and all over the place...

I do not admire or appreciate skinny dudes in tight skinny jeans. Please stop.

silly Facebook quizzes

I scored a perfect 10 of 10 on the "what liquor bottle is this?". I'm checking in to rehab... after this weekend. I have some partying to do. LOL

You know how when you're hungover and you say "I'm never drinking again"? Well, in all my years of drinking and being hungover, I FINALLY learned something. Now I say "I'm never drinking again. Today."
