ejection
i saw a man kicked off the train today. why? he had a bicycle. what?! neither he nor his bicycle were in a bicycle car. so the conductor dude made him leave the train. then the train left. without him. which i thought was pretty rude. it sorta smacks of a power trip by the train man. seems like it wouldn't have cost us anything to let him reboard either of the bicycle cars. we were already 10 minutes late. and everyone who'd be unhappy that we'd be 11 minutes late would be just as unhappy if we're only 10 minutes late too. course he could have made the guy get off at the next stop. then we'd only be 9 minutes late. huh. fodder for my theory that people don't think about what they're doing. they just do what they want to do.
