The Litterer
Every so often you witness a special and frustrating evolution aboard the mass transit system, as The Newspaper Guy morphs into The Litterer. Yes, I know you missed PATCO Ponderings, but be still child, it has returned.
Every so often you witness a special and frustrating evolution aboard the mass transit system, as The Newspaper Guy morphs into The Litterer. Yes, I know you missed PATCO Ponderings, but be still child, it has returned.
Aboard that train you're already frustrated as The Newspaper Guy refuses to fold the paper, instead spreading his arms wide into your personal space. Haven't they heard the newspaper is a dying industry? Get an e-reader already. That's when suddenly, The Newspaper Guy takes his jackassery to a whole new level and becomes The Litterer.
You notice all the hideous papers "decorating" the train. They didn't just appear out of thin air, they were left by The Litterer. Apparently this big shot is in a rush so much they can't take that paper they obnoxiously spread out so wide with them, for fear it may screw up their aerodynamics on their walk. Yes, this gentleman has decided to leave his paper stuffed down next to the seat, on the off chance someone wants a used copy of The Metro (it's free buddy, but thanks for your generosity).
Even worse is The Litterer who chooses to leave their paper on the seat. Now not only did they leave their trash, they decided you should be the one to deal with it.
I can assure you, I have no interest in "gently used" train papers or flyers. So to The Litterer, take your damn trash. There is a trash can right on the platform!
