Booze and the TTC

One thing about living in Toronto and the surrounding GTA is the city's transportation. Yes, the fleet of buses, streetcars, subways, SRTs known as the Toronto Transit Commission a.k.a the TTC. To be truthful, I actually enjoy the commute on Route 95 (York Mills) to the subway station. On a daily basis there isn't that much change in the scenery, but over time you do notice the subtle changes being made here and there, such as building construction or renovations being done on a home that you see twice a day, five days a week.

What I really find interesting is the people that you see on the TTC. I am a people person and I enjoy to observe people. So the TTC is one of the best places to just sit and look around (yet be subtle). Today had to be one of the more interesting days. At around 4:10 I was on the subway heading home from work. The subway just pulled out of Eglinton and was heading north towards Lawerence station when you hear someone in a panicked voice say "What? Lawerence Station? Nooooo! I'm suppose to be going to Warden Station" For those of you that are not familiar with Toronto's Subway routes Warden station is on the Bloor-Danforth (East-West) line while Lawerence station is on the Yonge-University-Spadina (North-South) line. To get to Warden station the guy was to have gotten off and Yonge and Bloor and gotten on a subway that was heading East. Normally missing you stop is a common thing and it could have happened to anyone on the train as sometimes we can get caught up in reading a book or newspaper, listening to music, snoozing or just chatting with the person sitting next to you. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for this guys. Nope, this guys was drinking Grand Marnier out of the bottle and telling people that were looking at him to mind their business. Well we minded our business and kept on doing what we were doing before he got on and he still yelled at everyone in our compartment as no one told him to get off at Yonge and Bloor. Wish I could have told him that the announcement was made, but he was too busy telling stories to who ever he was sitting next to, that he missed the announcement... Ah booze, you have got to love it!
