Worst Commute EVER

The other week I had just gotten home from work and I was feeling bad for myself. I had had a terrible commute on the subway. I’m pretty short, and a dude lowered his arm from ceiling-strap-holding position and had smashed me on the head with the point of his elbow. It sucked, but he was apologetic about it. So, I was at home, taking some painkillers for my headache when I got a text from my sister: So, a guy in my subway car just died.

Later info revealed that he had been in his 30s, looked like a businessman and had dropped dead very suddenly, maybe from a heart attack or brain aneurysm. Her train was delayed for 30 minutes while paramedics came and retrieved the body.

So, I guess we have a new winner for worst commute that night: The dead guy who had to spend the last minutes of his life on the 2 train.
