That's it! I've had enough!!

I'm riding up the escalator this morning. I can see there is a crowd at the top of the stairs. A woman, just behind me and to my right, tripped on the escalator because there wasn't enough room for her to step off.

There wasn't enough room because the landing was crowded with stupid people. Stupid lemmings who were funnelling through the ONE door that was open. Is everyone so mentally challenged that they can't even push the door open?

But the lemmings weren't the entire reason for the crowding.

There were two ditsy bitches standing at the top of the narrow stairwell, peering through the glass wall, waiting for the 7:01. Why are you are you standing there? Global warming has taken over and it is downright balmy today...8°C so says the weather man. It is NOT cold outside. And if you think it is, maybe you should dress better for the weather. It is January, after all. It tends to cool down a little this time of year.

GO Transit needs to get on the ball and monitor the stairwells. Tell people to get the fuck outside.  The shelters along the platform are there for a reason. If commuters don't want to stand outside like the rest of us, then they can drive to work.

Don't kid yourself, GO Transit. If someone is injured because the stairwell was crowded, you will be found negligent. And everyone who has been injured in the past will come forward. God, I love the smell of a class-action in the morning!
