(Total combined rail time of almost 9 years!!) I, myself, despite my outgoing, cheery ways, have been spit at (did hit me in the face while I was working the N Train at Times Square...the guy better never cross my path ever, and I DO NOT forget faces!!), swung at (no hits), been called out to fight at New Rochelle (which I actually almost entertained due to my South Jamaica Queens hardscrabble upbringing, but looked at the pic of my wife and kids and thought "This punk ain't worth it!!"), had eggs thrown my way (no hits), had paint balls shot at me on the Brighton Line (Q) in Brooklyn, which thank God did not hit me, but well decorated the side of the train, been called every colorful metaphor in the English language, been cursed out in 4 different languages when working a rerouted M Train in Brooklyn (to be exact, English, Spanish, which both I clearly understood, also Chinese and Russian, which were quite funny sounding, but the message conveyed was all too clear!!), constantly blamed for things I did not cause, do, or occurred before I even signed on for duty....but yet still am able to tell the most irate, irrational person to have a nice day and even don a smile!!<BR/><BR/>Hope the NH line keeps on being fun....since I am 3 line qualified, I gets the fun from EVERYWHERE!!! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-33439094866149393632007-08-30T18:24:00.000-04:002007-08-30T18:24:00.000-04:00Great story...sometimes you just have to grin and ...Great story...sometimes you just have to grin and bear it!MotherOf3Guyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16173609516141081802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-7834108554797961882007-08-27T11:45:00.000-04:002007-08-27T11:45:00.000-04:00The last couple of trips I made into NYC on a trai...The last couple of trips I made into NYC on a train I felt bad for the conductor having to deal with a large group of intoxicated young folks who spent twenty minutes digging through their purses and pockets looking for their tickets all the while laughing and talking amongst themselves.<BR/><BR/>I remember saying to myself: What would Bobby do?Tony Alvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015995902834461332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-10808524743458999802007-08-25T09:28:00.000-04:002007-08-25T09:28:00.000-04:00When you work with the public, nothing amazes me.....When you work with the public, nothing amazes me...not behavior, clothing --or lack of-- anything and that in it self is amazing isn't it?Nevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601316661181297640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22458455.post-3496040741777464882007-08-25T06:58:00.000-04:002007-08-25T06:58:00.000-04:00awesome story bobby - can picture it like i was si...awesome story bobby - can picture it like i was sitting there watching it happen, nicely told :)glemakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395414455070864399noreply@blogger.com
