The Ajax GO Station parking lot is a complete clusterfuck.
A new parking garage is being built. An excellent idea, as you need to have a Sherpa guide to get to the back lot. The problem is that the former Kiss-and-Ride is now closed. There's a new K&R, just south of the old section. It is a longer walk, but only about two minutes. It's not like it doubles your commute time.
Of course, the lazy asses who can't walk the extra two minutes are dropped off on the opposite side. The side that pedestrians walk through, where a convenience store and dry cleaners are located, and where the day care centre is located.
There is a large sign that says this is not the drop-off zone. It even has an arrow pointing you in the direction you should go, in the event that the Ministry of Transportation has issued a driver's licence to an illiterate person.
Still, assholes drive through that section every fucking day and drop off their lazy passengers. Keep in mind that this section is a dead end zone. There's no place to turn around. So these morons are doing three-point turns (and not very well, I might add) at the same time everyone else is. It's just a matter of time before the area is turned into a bumper car lot.
And it's just a matter of time before a pedestrian is struck.
We all know the construction won't be done any time soon, nor will it be completed on time. Do we have to wait until someone is hurt before something is done about this?
After more than 10 years of GO Train commuting, I've had enough. I can't take it anymore. On this blog, I'll vent, point fingers and cuss...not only at GO Transit, but also at inconsiderate riders. No one is immune. You've been forewarned. If you can’t take the heat, don’t follow. But if you’re as pissed off as I am, come along for the ride. No doubt it’ll be delayed.

How hard is this to figure out?
If you go up the left side of the elevator, you go out the left side of the double doors.
If you go up the right side of the elevator, you go out the right side of the double doors.
This isn't rocket science. It's basic logic. And manners.
Don't go up the right side, then cut in front of me when I'm on the left, so you can go out the one open door that all the other lemmings are filing through. If you do, I'm going to step on your foot or bang into you. And don't look at me as if it's MY fault. You're the idiot who didn't look before changing lanes.
And if you're walking up, don't stop six steps from the top. The escalator isn't going to suck you in (though I really wish it would). Keep walking. There are more people behind you. I'm one of them. And as I've said before, it's all about me.

It's been a while, I know. I've been busy. Don't bug me.
So....
This morning, I'm booting it for the 7:01 Ajax LSE train to Union. I hate starting my day literally running. It just sets a precedent for the rest of the day.
I get on the train, sitting in a different car than normal. There's this obnoxious prick talking at the top of his lungs two quads away from me. Everyone can hear him. We're all glaring at him.
Then his phone rings. And, if you can believe it, he talks even louder on the phone.
Are you fucking kidding me?
I have been working 14-hour days for more than two months now. I've had a headache for six weeks and it just won't go away. I don't need to start my day off with assholes. I deal with them all day long. I work for one.
I wanted to go over to this guy and take his cell phone, hold it in my hand like a knuckle ring and punch him in the throat! Jesus!! Shut the fuck up!
The worse part was he was with a friend. Why didn't his friend tell him to SHUSH?
Friends don't let friends talk loud on the GO.
