Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I daresay that the DC metro has similar rules for similar reasons and that the sole reason for the lack of trash receptacles isn't to discourage eating or drinking on the trains.

I'm fairly sure that food and drink has never been allowed on the DC metro, because of the messiness that ensues. But yeah, there used to be more trash/recycling bins in stations.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I don't like the loitering, but I try to be nice to lost tourists. When we were just in Paris, a nice French guy took pity on us at the Gare du Nord, or we wouid have walked the wrong way to our train.

I try to be nice to lost tourists.

Thus proving that Robin is an incredibly nice person. I try not to rant about tourists because god knows we've all been there at some point in our lives. And in places like Hawaii where it feels like Everyone Is a Tourist and half your family has a job because of that industry, you learn just to suck it up and be nice.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm perfectly nice to lost tourists. I just move them out of the fucking way first.

Moving IS nice, Trudy! it keeps them from getting trampled.

It IS.

And I always tell them "now go home and tell them New Yorkers are nice"

It's my own little campaign.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And I always tell them "now go home and tell them New Yorkers are nice"

They were chatty to me. I felt betrayed.

There's never been food/drink allowed on the DC Metro in my lifetime. I can't say I have any distinct childhood memories of trash bins, but it wasn't something I was paying too much attention to.

Here, they just make sure the train interiors can be easily hosed down. I shudder to think what cloth seats would look like after a few weeks on the A line. (And in my personal subway rulebook, it ain't an open container if it's got a lid. If someone tried to get on with a mug of coffee, I might have a problem with it.)
