I Probably Won't be able to Ride the T Anymore

AT least not during rush hour or any other time where other people may be riding with me. I got on the Orange Line this evening at around 5:15. The train was packed (with idiots). I walked to the center of the car and stood. To my left were three exceptionally greasy teenagers leering at one PSP. The greasy boy holding the PSP was having his oily head stroked by his unctuous (I'll admit to using a thesaurus for that one) girlfriend while his slimy friend looked on in awe. As if the head stroking wasn't bad enough, he was waxing poetic about his favorite Final Fantasy characters loudly. To my right there was a guy wearing a green puzzle piece pin which I'm pretty sure represents Autism awareness (he is aware of Autism but not that he has it). He was playing a game on his tablet with the volume all the way up. To quote Spaceballs "I'm surrounded by assholes!" And these assholes are sitting while I am standing. I then got onto the blue line where I stood again for the whole 30 minute ride from State to Revere Beach while young, able-bodied men sat in handicapped seats. I was doing my best pregnant poses too, right hand on lower back, left on belly--NOTHING. I'm either going to have to give up on mankind or drive all the time.
