BART etiquette

so last week i was riding BART. i spend about 80 min on Bart (40min. each way), 400min. per week on BART and etc.. so this post is dedicated to the "DOOSHes" who have not been educated in what to do on BART - BART etiquette.

BART:
1. Full train - move over toward the ends of the train. This will allow for people to come into and out of the train.
2. "Ol' Chinese Lady with PINK bags" - DO NOT bring your smelly seafood bags from Powell/Montgomery to Balboa station. However if you do please tie a firm knot so minimal smells protrude.
3. Earphones - earphones are meant for you ears, not for the public.
4. Cell Phones - DO NOT have a full conversation on the phone yelling on the top of your lungs "I'm going through the tunnel, and can't hear you," if you are saying this please hang-up the phone. do not proceed to continue your conversation.
5. DEODORANT - if you SMELL, for humanity please put on some deodorant.

and the real reason for this post.. (see pic).

So on a train going northbound there was an individual we can name "Bob". Bob looks like he doesn't ride Bart much because of his "characteristics". So sitting on a four seater, Bart and I are sitting directly across from each other (diagonally from each other). So Bob begins to listen to his music and shake his entire body - Shaking your entire body creates a mini earthquake that shakes the entire BART train. Bob continues to shake but now has decided that the he wants to put this huge smelly feet on the empty seat next to me. So NOW he is shaking his body, with his legs entirely on Bart. I begin to give him the "eye" the "stare" but to no response he continues this for the whole ride. Then Bob begins to stare at all the ladies, young and old. Too my disgust I crop-dust a Fart that makes him a little weary of his place. A small win in my thoughts as i exit to my bart station..



So to Bob.. i hope you read this post and learn from your uneducated ways.. Peace be with you Bob and I hope you learn BART etiquette.. To when we meet again ..

How were you able to sneak a picture? Did you pretend to just mess around with your phone and angle it towards his direction. Lucky he didn't catch you. Damn, that is hilarious!
