I love to hate tourists. Yesterday I was taking the AirTrain to JFK to get on a flight to Portland, which by the way is biggest crock of mass transit ever. It costs ten dollars round trip to take a robotic tram half a mile, and there’s no other way to get to JFK. That’s almost as bad as the Seattle monorail.
Anywho, I was getting off the subway when I saw a tourist going in the opposite direction. She had piece of rolling luggage and needed to get on the subway. Instead of using the four foot wide service entry (which I’ll admit took me three tries to figure out how to use it, and I’ll still not really sure how it works), she rolled her suitcase right through the turnstile. Just as she got through, her luggage got stuck in the narrow gate and thudded to the ground.
The best part was her reaction as she turned around and saw her bag wedged tightly behind her. She shouted at the turnstile, “This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen!” Five minutes into her trip, and she’s getting pissed at an inanimate object.
This is a person who is not going to have a good time in New York.
