Man Has Bad Time On Train
God I think I'm close to crying again. I NEVER cry. Just want out. This might be a life changer.

The feed from what is apparently Washington newsman Stephen Tschida's Twitter account details a harrowing journey to Philadelphia by rail. At one point the cold and tired reporter compares the situation to something out of Kafka, while at another moment he observes that, "This whole night is like some wierd agonizing hallucination. Now they can't open doors to let people off. What is going on?" The happy news is that he finally arrived at his destination, although the psychological damage may be permanent. Read the whole thing and experience the suffering first hand.
This is the "The Civil War" of tweets right here.
'"Sartre"'
Hope the Spanish lady is ok.
Yeah. Do you think she was actually Mexican or Puerto Rican?
Best one. OMG.
Right? It's like a tweet from the Donner Party.
Better than this one? It's a descent directly into the cold heart of madness!
I dunno, I'm liking this one for the ominous undertone.
Shatner-channeling or GTFO.
"Damn your Burlington reefers! I'm responsible for getting 428 passengers to Philadelphia, alive!" ??
Hashtag rap.
What? This is an every day occurrence on NJ Transit. *rimshot*
Hi, everybody. So, I just rode in from Parisppany, and boy are my feet cold.
Seriously, guy better never ride the MBTA, either.
"@ Kenmore station. Driver says train is standing by 4 hedway adjustment. God, why have u 4saken me?"
It's like what the mice from "American Tail" would've tweeted on their long, hard voyage, if they had had less dignity.
But did the bar car run out of peanuts?
OMG I am not doing twitter right AT ALL
What are the chances that this will be optioned by M. Night Shyamalan?
"A harrowing tale of First World White Person Discomfort."
Sitcom! Because all his tweets are amazing! "Vet made me put oil in puppy's food. In bed watching TV. He smells like DEAD FISH! Really. I can't do this." Foolproof comedy!
"Shit My General Assignment Reporter Says"
Wait, he was crying because he couldn't disembark in Philadelphia?
The only time I rode a train was from Philadelphia to Baltimore, during a blizzard that shut down the bus line I had tickets on. It should have been a 45 minute train ride. It took over three hours. They couldn't close all the doors, so snow was blowing around the car, and there were not enough seats for all the paying passengers, do I was sitting in the aisle of the train the whole time. We had to stop about 6 times. And it cost me 80 dollars.
All I know is, Joe Biden is to blame.
I don't know about all this train stuff but Stephen used to "hang with" Prince!
i think "hang with" means "listen to" – but then again, when has Stephen Tschida ever exaggerated anything?
the quiet desperation of the "Spanish Lady" is perhaps the most poignant.
Was it the prayers of that magical ethnic person that finally got the white people to their destination? We'll never know, but always suspect. ROLL CREDITS
It's not like someone touched his junk.
Love how a fucking "journalist" misspells "weird."
