I Too, Hate

Published July 26, 2006 in Maryland.

This is only going to make sense if you live/work in the Metro DC/MD/VA area, but I too seriously hate the new woman’s voice on the Metro.

“Dingy-dingy STAND BACK, DOORS CLOSING”

Shut. Up.

It’s especially annoying to hear when you’re attempting to bolt down the escalator and grab the metro (with slow-asses blocking the left side)…

Flashback:

The nine other voices considered for the Washington Metro announcements.

Commentary on the voices from Unrequited Narcissism.

On Randi Miller’s (the one everyone’s complaining about):

Randi gets a little exasperated when it’s time to ask me to move to the center of the car. I can’t say that I blame her. She’s probably seen me; she knows I’m a perennial offender. She’s tried being nice, but if this keeps up there are going to have to be consequences, buster.

You realise that Andrew Sullivan’s going to accuse you of mysogynism now?

Should have been Garcia. He sounds like he could have been urgent without being stressful.
