During Thursday morning’s miserable commute, patterns emerged among people complaining on Twitter. Please use these convenient categories when complaining on the way home:
1) I say you are out to get me personally, WMATA.
2) I will smite WMATA with unflattering comparisons to other geographical areas.
3) I am actually pretty funny.
4) I am keeping track of how much time I have lost.
5) I am still your friend, WMATA.
6) I demand to know where WMATA’s shit is, and why it is not together.
7) I think Washington should lose the Olympics because today’s commute sucked.
