On Getting Out of the City

We did a little bit of underground travelling yesterday, and boy did I not miss the subway throngs. The only thing worse than a pedestrian who suddenly stops in the middle of a crowded street for no reason at all - which would have given us every right to bump into her and have it be her fault entirely except that our "City-sense" (yes, that is like "Spider-sense") let us swerve last-minute to bypass the brainless one - is two Chatty Cathies standing directly in front of the subway doors on the platform so exiting passengers can't get out. Now that I read this, I'm even happier I don't have to commute on subways any longer.
