Looks like a cool idea... <br />Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys?

One of the most annoying things is when people place their bags on a free seat during rush hour and act like you're inconveniencing THEM when you ask to sit down. Once, a man had placed an empty backpack in the seat next to him (it was completely flat ... there's no way it had anything inside). A woman asked if she could sit down and the man looked her right in the eyes and said, "This is a wish seat. You WISH you could sit here." And would not move the backpack.<BR/><BR/>Clearly, sometimes people who look mentally competent turn out not to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-60140649661449227232009-03-17T14:00:00.000-05:002009-03-17T14:00:00.000-05:00Just last week I wrote about the MTA pissing me of...Just last week I wrote about the MTA pissing me off (yet again)!

A falling down drunk guy gets on and is talking to himself (classic CTA). He decides to sit next me. He smelled awful and was clearly in liver failure because he was very jaundice. He starts telling me how innocent my eyes look, etc. Then tries to involve the girl on the phone in the converstation. When we both ignore him, he pulls out a foot-tall incredible hulk action figure and begins talking to me through the doll. At the next stop, he puts his doll away and exits the train. The guy sitting at other end, silent the whole time, bursts out laughing and says "gotta love public transportation."abstikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626145464750118730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-76116091649564312232009-03-17T08:48:00.000-05:002009-03-17T08:48:00.000-05:00people who stand at the front of the bus and won't...people who stand at the front of the bus and won't move back and people whose music is loud enough for me to hear the lyrics sitting ten seats away.cmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246719547389109073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8894166322205551970.post-71623323374265562122009-03-17T08:05:00.000-05:002009-03-17T08:05:00.000-05:00Hey now.
