So like a fucking idiot I forgot my wallet and discovered it only after I got on the train this morning. So I as I'm telling the conductor I don't have my wallet, money, ID or anything, dude across the way says, "here I'll pay for him" and uses his ten-ride for me. Not sure if they would have thrown me off the train or what, but this guy really saved my ass.

Wife is going to drive downtown with my wallet. That way I can eat lunch. She's such a good girl.

That's quite a haul for the wife. You can't get $20 off a co-worker to get you through the day?

The pimp hand is strong with this one. After reading this, she's going to let you handle it on your own, and DB will see you on a rooftop earning fare while he shows his monthly pass.

People should glue their monthly passes to their fucking cell phones. Don't know how many times I've seen the "I forgot my wallet / purse " thing go on with the conductor yet the person has their cell phone out . Different question is how do other people feel when they see the conductor give the guy a free ride when this happens then goes and punches the person sitting right behind them 10 ride or one way ticket. I've seen it go both ways where they are pissed off that you're giving one guy a break or they think the conductor is a dick for making the guy get off the train for not having the pass or fare.

I wonder what her reaction will be when she finds out that you now have a boyfriend?

Funny, but if it were a chick that gave me the ride, she'd be sooo jealous. "Who was this woman?" "Do you see her on the train often?" "How old was she??"

Forgot my Monthly and all my cash one day, fuckin' conductor told me he was going to contact the police to scoop me up at the end of the line to make sure I went to a machine and used my debit card to buy a ticket ( ). Luckily, some guy was cool enough to let me get a punch on his Ten-Ride (euphemism). But I'm still pissed about that shit with the conductor...

I remember this time I went to a restaurant to eat and after I had the meal discovered I forgot my wallet at home. Fuckers had the balls to to make me call someone to bring me the money to pay for the meal I had already eaten. I'll never eat there again.

Generally speaking, people who have monthly passes do so because they take the train every day. Usually, the same conductors are working the same train shifts every day as well. If I'm a conductor and it's Friday and I've had the same person all week show me their ticket and suddenly they don't have it today, I think it's safe to assume they're sincere when they say they forgot it. Mistakes happen.

But what does having your cell phone have to do with it? I keep my monthly pass in a completely different place from my cell phone. I don't really understand that part of your post.

I would have made you wash dishes for a few hours.

I don't really blame them. There are all kinds of bums who try to ride for free. Now if you are on a first name basis with the conductor, that would be an a-hole move.

The thought of waiting at the Metra lockup until my wife arrived was looking like a distinct possibility....until my Knight in Shining Armor showed up.

Metra has a lockup?

They have their own police force, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had a cell or a room or something. I'm sure they call the real police for violent shit. If you want to have fun someday, tell a Metra cop that he's not a real cop.

My point was it seems nobody forgets their cell phones at home ( because thats important to have with you when you ride the train ) but that little pass they need to ride the train? Utterly forgettable. Everyday theres a few people who do it. Also you expect that conductor to remember that you ride the train everyday out of the thousand faces he sees everyday and to remember yours and that you have a monthly pass? I guess I just dont expect to get a break when I fuck up and I certainly dont hold someone else accountable or think they are being unreasonable if I get called on it.

No Brogue. Nobody should expect to get a break when they mess up. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying I personally wouldn't be offended if I saw a conductor give somebody a break, especially if it's somebody I recognize as an everyday rider. Conductors see the same people every day. For the most part, they know who's who.

Gotcha. Ive seen it break the other way too where someone gives the guy the " why should I have to pay when he let him ride" line .
