LIRR President: 2010 Was 'Very Challenging'

…or you’re just an incompetent prostitute, Helena Williams.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true. It’s not an unknown fact that the #LIRR has a sub-par track record of providing reliable service. Whoever this clever, cranky commuter was hit the nail on the head. They took part of an interior car card posted by the #LIRR to inform passengers of planned limited service weekends and put the text over an Emblem Health ad to create this hysterical message: “Extremely limited LIRR service everywhere you turn.” this made my Monday!

Despite my seemingly incessant bitching about the #LIRR (Long Island Rail Road), I have this love/hate relationship towards it. While the service is haphazard at best, and Penn Station is a filthy shit-hole, I still love trains. I just think they’re neat.

Currently, at the 34th street exit, the MTA is displaying a series of photos from days of yore. What’s the occasion you ask? Non other than the 100th anniversary of the first departure of an LIRR train from Penn Station. The exact date of this milestone was September 8, 2010 - AKA, my 25th birthday.

While I may not be the biggest fan of the LIRR or the MTA, this is something that we share and I think that’s pretty cool.

Helena Williams, president of the #LIRR is a prostitute. If you’re so “sorry” then perhaps you shouldn’t charge the fare until service is restored to “normal.” “Normal” meaning service being delayed only 20-30 minutes.

Helena: you claim that “you know” yesterday’s commute was difficult. Tell me, did you take your filthy, disgusting, sorry excuse of a rail road yesterday? Do you get sub-par, unfriendly service from the employees that are paid WAY to much to punch a ticket? Do you have to pay ridiculous fares for service that does not meet the quality one would expect with these out of control fares? I’m willing to bet the answer to all of these questions is no, and for that you are a prostitute.

This is bull. Due to a ‘smoke condition’ in one of the East River tunnels, the LIRR has ruined my life. The 34th street and 7th Avenue entrances are closed and there are 15-20 mintue delays. FUNN. Oh, and by the way, thanks for blatantly LYING in that email you sent me. Real classy.
