They're actually considered on time until they're more than five minutes late. So their woeful punctuality figures don't even describe how fucking bad they are
Ah yes, well they ended up actually cancelling my train because probably by Metro logic, if a train doesn't exist, then it can't be late

Remember the station skipping shit they did a while ago? To bolster their numbers they literally just drove through stations they were meant to go to in order to be on time.

Haha yeah, good memories.
How can they stuff public transport up so much? I'm sure I don't know the intricacies of operating a public transport system, but so many other countries seem to do it so well - is it really that hard to do things properly?? Public transport is meant to encourage you to not drive, but I find myself opting to drive to somewhere (that I could get to on public transport) just to save myself stress and delays.

Another thing on cancelling trains - it probably wouldn't be as annoying if they announced it more than 1 minute before the train is meant to get there.

I've been using batteries for so long that I've developed a useless yet useful skill.

I can literally just hold a battery and tell if it's likely to be flat or not. AA or AAA.

Isn't there something about how you can tell if a battery is charged by whether it bounces when you drop it?

I've listened to "Slow Hands" probably 900 times on loop whilst I've worked, and I hate that fact.

I hate the fact that it is only 18:38 and I'm already tired. :/

Joseph41 slowly moves the mouse to the replay button. He sighs. 'Here we go again', he whispers to himself, hoping this will be the time the music combats his coffee-induced shakes...

This sounds like something my brother would lie about to trick me into making it blow up at my feet or something...

Possibly but I don't even need that; I only use my hands
