Some mornings you are just a dumbass ...

As I was entering the station, this man was talking to the attendant saying "Thank you for letting me get coffee, now can you let me in?" The attendant was not having any of it looking at him like she has never seen him prior to this. Does this work? Can you et a free train ride by claiming that you have seen the attendant before?

Here was my train conundrum for the day. I would give up my seat for a pregnant woman. I would give up my seat for a woman with a child. Should I give up my seat for a woman with a stoller and the baby is sleeping? If I was in the parellel seats by the door I would, but I was in the middle of the train.

Then I reached in my bag and my work laptop was not there. I don't do things like forget keys, cell phone or especially the one item I need to do my job all day! I have to get out at Belmont and go back home to get it. This ends my CTA experience for the day since now I will be really late unless I drive to work.
