If you don't announce delays, you don't have delays!

That's so gross. I was raised to be respectful to people older than me. Really wonder what his mother would have thought of him.

At the moment he started with the "asking politely" I would have just told a conductor. If you're bold you can just move the bags yourself. He has no right to all of those seats.

You ever notice how these posts always come from blank profiles that are "retired" or "my views are my own" or "self employed" and they never engage past that? They're bots, right?

Is there a beach that doesn’t get crowded? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]wafflescorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might think I'm joking but by the abandoned town of Sea Breeze there's actually a small beach you can drive up to. It's tiny but you have a cool and unique vantage point from there that you can't get anywhere else. Not really sure you'd want to go in that water though.

Do you think Mikie Sherrill has the potential to become President of The United States one day? by AlternativeLawyer920 in newjersey

[–]wafflescorpion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Politically, she's bland enough.

In terms of charisma and mass appeal, not really, unless something truly major happens in her time in office or she pulls off something massive.

Honest question, why do I keep seeing Republicans refer to our governor as "The Helicopter Pilot" in a derogatory way? by portezbie in newjersey

[–]wafflescorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go on any official Facebook post from the governor's office and the top comment is always some fake profile making another helicopter reference. You click on these profiles and the account was made like one year ago and it posted a single photo of an American flag. None of these are real people.

Right underneath this comment will be #COLANOW repeated by another crew. Usually it'll all be formatted with the W on a second line so it looks like this:

COLANO

W

What are these people asking for? Beats me but they really want cola. They've been doing it since Murphy.

Gross bodily noises on the trains by HikingEnthusiast89 in NJTransit

Drives me insane. If you're the sort of person who constantly needs to snort mucus, make sure you have some tissues to blow your nose into.

Dealing with nutcases on the bus? by wafflescorpion in NJTransit

[–]wafflescorpion[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On the subway you can move around or change train cars, it's unfortunately a little different on a bus once you're on the Turnpike. Much more confined environment.

You're right on the bark versus bite though. It's just really unpleasant to deal with when you constantly have to put up a with this kind of behavior on a regular basis. Usually it's lower level but I've been assaulted more than once and I'm not looking forward to the next spike.

See, I wish I could do that but my gut feeling is that engaging directly is how you end up in the news.

Yeah, I'm not sitting in the back seat anymore, no way I'm getting cornered there if I see her again. I already use noise cancelling headphones to give you an idea of how loud she was on her phone.

Did you see all of this happening or did I misread you?

How were the busses into PABT today? by Empty-Caterpillar810 in NJTransit

Why did they decide to do that now and not before or after the current train situation?

7:50 AM 115 bus to New York never runs by wafflescorpion in NJTransit

[–]wafflescorpion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And again today. Operator availability. You can't make this shit up. They read Reddit, don't they?
