So a Leftist 20 Percenter and a Bunch of Normal People Get on a Train Together...




One of the very few good things about leftist 20 percenters is that they are generally very predictable in their behavior (same as the right-wingers). They rarely depart from tried-but-cruel mannerisms, talking points and viewpoints with respect to the people and world around them.

Case in point -- according to accounts this week and a YouTube video capturing most of the events on a New York City train (link at bottom):

-The woman (pictured above) got on the train and started "talking loudly to a friend, allegedly using profanities."

-One of the train's conductors tells the woman "to keep the noise down and to stop using swear words."

-The woman denies her own obvious behavior and goes ballistic at the notion of anyone having the gall to challenge her for acting inappropriately: "I was not cursing, excuse me, do you know what schools I've been to?"

-As two of the train conductors talk among themselves, the woman again interjects: "I'm sorry, do you think I'm a little hoodlum?"

-As the conductors and passengers persist in failing to realize the woman's obviously high intellect and exemplary education, the woman again reminds them: "Excuse me? Do you know well-educated I am?"

-The moronic masses on the train still not getting the message, the woman has finally had enough: "Stop the train! Stop the train!"

-"Getting ever more worked up, the woman demands her money back and says she'll never give Metro-North her money ever again."

-At that, the rest of the train erupts in applause and gives the woman a standing ovation. [OK, I made that part up.]

-One of the conductors suggests that the woman take her gripes to customer service.

-As the woman departs the train in a huff, she fires off one last closing salvo calculated as a final-ditch effort to persuade everyone around her just how highly educated and smart she really is:

-"No do not tell me to go to customer service. I am not a crazy person. I am a very well-educated person!"

-The woman now gone, one of the train's conductors makes an announcement exhibiting the wise understanding that oftentimes, the best way to deal with a leftist 20 percenter is just to laugh at him/her (and boy they hate it when you do that, BTW):

-The announcement requests that passengers not use profanity on the train, "especially those people who went to Harvard or Yale."
