I'm convinced that, were it to exist, Metrocard refilling would be the only competitive sport that I could compete in professionally.

Oh man, my personal hell is getting stuck behind a tourist trying to figure out how to into metro card.

I would be the ultimate champion of getting the machine to make me swipe the card again.

These are the kinds of questions that probably cause NYU economists to just kill themselves on the platform due to existential crisis. “Where is the button for MAXIMIZE SOCIAL UTILITY WHILE MINIMIZING NEGATIVE EXTERNALITIES!? Vote Bernie!” POP!

I really want to know what happens if I don’t swipe again at this turnstile, but I'm too afraid to because I know that the MTA is a cruel mistress.

That is a pretty existentialist question.

Went to NYU’s commencement yesterday. There was an obligatory joke about not having to pay tuition anymore.

There are only four possible ways to insert a card, yet somehow most tourists need six tries to pay the bus fare

Does any college commencement NOT include that cliché in some form? :D

You’re right, but it is NYU!

Ah... I went to my sister’s program graduation but not the Yankee Stadium one. I know that one is a complete mess to get to and back... and it’s more for students to enjoy with their friends and classmates. My parents and sisters definitely did not enjoy it 3 years ago (but it was a shitty day, weather wise)

Or when they have a credit card and can’t figure out how to buy a metro card. I mean come on it’s not rocket science.
