Created from popular demand, this blog is all about the misadventures of a commuting everywoman, me. Here you will be able to immerse yourself in the gritty and unpleasant underworld of one of the largest commuter train systems in the country, the Long Island Rail Road. As a self-appointed "commutologist" with almost 10 years of informal field experience in the train sciences, I will faithfully identify and chronicle my interactions with the creatures that inhabit this world.

Encounters with the Herd
Ended up behind a herd of morbidly obese women racing for the train today. And when I say racing, I mean taking rapid yet small steps and wildly swinging their arms giving the illusion of speed, but covering very little ground all in all. Plus they spread out in stealth flanking maneuvers so nobody could pass them. When encountering herds such as this, it can be helpful to carry morsels of food to drop as distractions, thus creating the opportunity you need to get out ahead of these creatures.
