Ben watches as a crazy guy impugns another rider's manhood because he wouldn't give his seat up to an older lady - even though there were roughly 15 empty seats in the car, and she didn't want to sit.

Bad enough Jenny had to get two stitches to repair the finger gash she got somehow in her car. Even worse:
... This morning, I reached my hand into my laptop bag and an embroidery needle poked itself right in my wound. Cause only smart people carry around loose embroidery needles. ...
Emily, meanwhile, realized on the Orange Line this morning that her skirt had somehow fallen off at the other end of the train:

Yeah, yeah, ladies, go ahead and tut-tut: Kal discusses a tie-up at the South Station men's room the other day: There was a line for toilets because nobody was leaving - finally, one guy in line started banging on the stall doors to try to move things along:
... In the ten-fifteen minutes I was there two of the stalls never turned over. I was tempted to tell the MBTA cops I thought there was a dead dude in one and see what they would do, but that usually means lots of paperwork and frankly who has the time? ...

Because then the Vanquisher of LA Parking Vermin could tackle the Massholes who park on the sidewalk on Parsons Street:
... As a pedestrian, it is pretty frustrating that vehicles on Parsons St. in Brighton are allowed to park on the sidewalk on a regular basis. It seems that everyone who parks on this street feels entitled to put one side of their car up on the sidewalk. ...

SassyGirl says she's had guys slow down and look at her. But when a guy in a black SUV this morning backed up and asked her if she need a ride to the train station, well, that was going too far.

Jaynie warns:
... If you wear glaring hot pink lipstick at the gym, you should be shot dead. In front of all of the other gym-goers. With your body left as blatant evidence of what went wrong. ...

Verbal reports yet another guy urinating in or near the lobby of his office building:
... When we called the building manager he said "It gets worse in the winter, too."

Thanks to today's Globe, we now know that the guy who owns the Jamaicaway Castle is a Christmas extremist. It's not just that he spends $1,100 a month lighting a path for jets heading to Europe or that he turns his lights on in October, but his attitude toward his neighbors that makes him so special:
"People in the back, they don't like it," he shrugs. "Well, too bad. It's Christmas."

White trash with tons of money, the South Ender says, and yes, he's referring to the 21-year-old whose parents bought her a $700,000 condo in his building:
... I shouted out the window and asked her to keep it down, as it was 3:30 (a.m.). Her response? "I OWN here - I can do whatever I want. If you don't like it, shut your f%$#in' window." Who says money can't buy you class?!! ...

Juliet reports on a trio of toughlings harrassing women entering the Copley T stop with a yellow squash this afternoon:
...to all the women who walked by, they'd say, "hey! you wanna touch my squash!?" as they held them pointed out at crouch level. then they'd howl with laughter. when i was showing my t-pass to the station manager, one of them hurled his squash down the stairs where it splattered on the floor. ...

Because when it's 3 p.m. and all the caffeine-depleted urbanistas are clawing for their fixes, all it takes is one annoying never-satisfied customer to create complete chaos.

Jon Milkman takes the honors for today's best essay on how much one's co-workers truly suck:
... it took me all of five minutes back at the office from vacation to realize how much i can't stand being exposed to some of the most base and irredeemible garbage humanity has to offer. ...
Yup takes the honors for today's best essay on how much people at one's gym truly suck, at least, the ones after work (maybe the people at her gym work with Jon?):

Based on the bumper sticker Borderline spotted today, he'd drive a gray Ford Escort. But would he then turn into a total Masshole and make a left turn after pulling off onto the right side of the road, nearly causing a three-vehicle pileup?

G reports watching yet another person throwing up on the train to Dorchester:
... while i'm pretty much ok with everything you see on the T, all the recent throwing up is getting to be a bit much. it would be nice to just be able to get on the train and get off without having to change cars part way home and then not have any appetite the rest of the night.
if you're feeling unwell, perhaps a warm, crowded ride on the T isn't exactly what you need. repeat after me: nausea & public transport do not mix.

Chris Monks never says "Dude!" so you know it's gotta be something that forces him to utter the word, and it is and the Stoughton IKEA is involved.
