DC observations…
Since I walk almost everywhere, I observe quite a lot in this city. Some things are amusing, some things are annoying and others yet are infuriating. I figure I can make at least semi-regular posts sharing these things I notice.
Here is my commentary from this past week, most of which probably classify as mild annoyances:
1. To the guy who tied his beautiful (but clearly agitated and whining for you) Alaskan Malamute to a pole outside the bar, during happy hour (read: rush hour for foot traffic), so you could go in for a drink… what the hell were you thinking? You are just plain wrong for doing that, and I don’t care how judgmental that makes me out to be.
2. To the lady who approached me on the metro selling bootleg DVDs at the super cheap price of seven for $20… Even if I was interested in purchasing badly pilfered movies, do you think anyone has time to select seven movies during their train ride? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be rushed in making my choice.
3. To the DC metro system… why, oh why, do you insist on performing track maintenance that requires trains to share the same track on a weekend night of a baseball game?!
4. To the DC cops ticketing jaywalkers… is it really necessary to ticket those who are obviously crossing when there are NO oncoming cars? I mean, seriously. I’m all for ticketing those who are playing chicken with the vehicles, but if a perfectly abled human can cross quickly and safely against the light - why shouldn’t they be able to?

Well that made me giggle. xD I wish I lived in D.C I’ve been there tons of times. Although their metro system has more rules than New York’s does.

That’s some strange things to notice. I agree with you about the dog. That’s just horrible! He’s lucky someone didn’t steal his dog.
Bootleg DVD’s… you just never know the quality of the copy. I’d rather just buy them at a store!
