As you may well guess, deranged is not actually one of the AlphaByte list words, but I'm using it because of something that happened yesterday on the T.
So, I was running late yesterday, trying to get to North Station via the green line. So (to explain logistics) I had to take the red line to Park Street and switch to a Lechmere-bound train, which I needed to take four stops. There were a lot of people getting on the train at Park Street and it was pretty much packed. But at the next stop, a few more people managed to squeak their way on. The doors started to close and I thought we were about to leave the station when I heard a voice say, "This train is not moving! I have my foot in the door and I will not take it out until you make room for me!!!"
What the hell is that about????
He railed on and on about how he could see a space and we would have to move in because he had waited for four trains and it was his turn, dammit, his turn, and we couldn't stop him from getting on the train because we had no T authority, we hadn't been to T school, and he saw the space, HE SAW THE SPACE.
At that point, T cops came and dragged him away.
Ah, life in Boston. Gotta love it.
