“I hated that the Metro was carpeted, and that it was so far underground – you felt like a mole by the time you got down the escalator – and I hated that you had to swipe your card to get in and out of the station. I hated that you couldn’t eat or drink on the train, and I especially hated that everyone obeyed the rule, like they were afraid they’d be arrested for sipping a cup of Starbucks on their morning commute.”
