Adventures in Commuting #3: Yes, I CAN Hear You Now

You know those really annoy­ing peo­ple who insist on hav­ing loud con­ver­sa­tions on their cell phones while they sit next to you on the train?

Well, I dis­cov­ered some­thing even worse:

Really annoy­ing drunk peo­ple who insist on hav­ing loud con­ver­sa­tions divulging way too much infor­ma­tion on PAY PHONES.

Adventures in Commuting #2: Just Call Me MapQuest

I must look like a very friendly or at least very knowl­edge­able per­son because peo­ple con­stantly approach me and ask me for direc­tions when I’m in Boston. And only in Boston. Any­where else, no one bothers.

Granted, I spend a large amount of my time there, but I’M FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE.

It’s not that I don’t like help­ing people—I do—but I’m prob­a­bly one of the worst peo­ple to ask for direc­tions, even in Nashua, and I’ve lived there for over 23 years!
