Step one: Walk. Step two: Walk. Step three: Walk...!

Aaarrgh! Why must people provoke me in the mornings on that blasted DC metro? Don't you just hate it when people hold you up from catching a train that you'd be able to make if everyone on the left side of the escalator would actually WALK? And, when the train doors open, wouldn't it be great if you could WALK on and go sit down or just move the heck out of the way? Sheesh!
So, this morning as I was attempting to head downstairs to transfer to the Blue/Orange trains, everyone was leisurely meandering down on the escalator, while a Blue line train was actually waiting. I could have got that darn train! Now, I'm in no particular rush to get to work, although the earlier I sign in, the earlier I will leave, but when we can actually make the train by doing the right thing, which is walking, it irritates me. Walk with purpose, fools!
And, then what I'll never comprehend, which happens on a daily basis is why people linger in front of the open train doors when they first open. Get on, you moron! Shoot, you don't have to wait till they're sounding that "Doors Closing" alarm. Get the heck on, and let the rest of us enter, as well. What are you trying to pick the perfect seat before actually entering the train or something? Are you not sure you want to get on? Well, I do, so you need to move!
Metro rage is a frustrating thing.
