Yesterday, my friend, let's call her Jen, was telling me about some of her subway grievances and I thought it might be fun to share those grievances with all of you and get your input.

Subway peepers. These lazy, cheap, obnoxious nosy people can be found sitting, or standing, next to a person, any person, on the subway who is reading. Subway peepers are those people who either forget to bring reading material with them on the subway, or are too cheap to buy a newspaper, so they read over the shoulder of someone else who was smart enough to bring their own reading material. Subway peepers may seem harmless, because they may be disguised as a cute school girl selling girl scout cookies or a fragile elderly woman, but they aren't. Subway peepers unashamedly hover over riders with reading material, making them panic and feel claustrophobic. And, on top of that, sometimes, these subway peepers have bad breath and/or BO! Anyone can be a victim. Women, children, it doesn't matter; subway peepers do not discriminate.

Now ask yourself, have you been a victim of a subway peeper? If so, how did you deal with it? Please share. We are here to help. Or, worse, have you yourself been a subway sleeper? If so, why, WHY did you peep?? Our readers want answers.

"Jen's" other grievance was subway riders who rush to the doors to get out before the subway even pulls into the station. They act without regard to others, as if they are the only ones getting out at the stop, pushing and shoving and falling (because the car is still moving) all over people in a race to be the first to the door. I will guarantee you right now that more than one person is getting out at any stop, any time, day or night and, the subway conductors know this. So, they tend to leave the doors open for about 30 seconds, which is not long enough in my opinion, but long enough to let more than one person off the subway. So, what is the point of my rambling? Avoid accidents and remain seated until the subway car has come to a complete stop.


Song of the moment: "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West. This is one of my top fave song of all times for two main reasons.

1. It's from the soundtrack to one of my top 5 favorite movies, "Pretty Woman," which is why I prob ever noticed this song in the first place.
2. Because at some points in my past when I was younger and even sillier than I am now, I thought this song described perfectly my thoughts about some of my exes. What girl hasn't???

Btw, is it just me or does one of the members of "Go West" now look like a little bit like Scott Baio?
