Wrong thread, Vortex.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

You know, I was wondering why no one was posting.

Okay, first of all, DC metro trains are not metal, and the stations are not tiled. Secondly, DC residents do not stand quietly on the escalator during rush hour.
This is such a pet peeve for me as a DC resident. I know that it's not a big deal, but details matter!
ETA: Although they did get one thing right when they said that no one was paying attention to the house fires because there was a storm brewing. This place does shut down at the whisper of snow.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Some do. On the right. Never on the left.

heh ... that assumes the escalators are working. When I saw people riding an escalator that actually worked, I knew it wasn't DC.

Last time I was in DC, both of the Metro escalators on the way to and way from the American Indian museum were working fine.

You were lucky - not only is it more usual for the escalators to be out of order (seems that after a repair they break down after eight days, on average), but at one station I read a report that the only escalator that worked and didn't have chunks taken out for repair was going up. Which meant people either had to wait for the VERY slow elevator or, as some did, go down the up escalator. And after the Jon Stewart/ Steven Colbert rally, one caved in while people were on it.
