Monday Metro hall of shame

When riding this city's fine transportation system, please do not:

- Nochalantly amble up to the closing door of a crowded car and use your belly to wedge your way in. You risk getting us all offloaded and late to work (including your self-important self)

- Use rush hour as the time to figure out how to work a scarce blue smarttrip machine. Some of us need to fill our cards quickly in order to catch a bus 14 stops away - and being late means standing out in the rain for a half hour. If I get pneumonia, I will cough on you in a CDC-unapproved fashion the next time our paths meet.
