About Me

My Photo
I am a single black woman in her early thirties who realizes that while I enjoy a few things in life I rarely get to enjoy them. I am participating in this blogging experience to with all honestly try something new and because of the arm twisting of my co-worker. Hell this is cheaper than counselling.To put myself out there. I am a person who uses the computer on a daily basis yet I am still so far removed from technology. I don't use instant messenger..it freaks me out. While I am on Facebook I certainly don't use it as a social site so blogging about my everyday life is far removed from what I do but isn't that what life should be about trying something different. So this is it.

Ignorance wins Again

I was taking the Go Train this week when a grown ass woman in error got on the wrong train. Upon the advise of others (group of at least 5) she pushed the emergency stop tab. Causing the entire train containing 10 carts and upto 1500 passengers  to come to a complete stop.

 Imagine..... one person delays 1500 passengers to ease her misfortune of getting on the wrong train.

Needless to say the Transit personnel was furious. He advise her that she could be fined for the misuse of the of the emergency tab.

He was a better person than I because he allowed her off the train without penalty

Conversation ensued afterwards amongst the Einstein group of 5. Two people stated "if that's not an emergency I don't know what is"
One women's defined emergency as anything that happens that should not have.

Are you kidding me?

I guess if you wanted to be an optimist you could determine that a person must be truly blessed if an emergency is getting on the wrong train.

Ignorance vs Intelligence
IGNORANCE WINS AGAIN.
