Another Sucky Experience on Metro

I think this was my worst commute home ever. And I do mean ever. I have dealt with traffic on the bus,  Presidential motorcades, annoying people talking on the phone, no AC on metro cars, and delays on metro, and while I haven't liked any of those experiences, I think today takes the cake. I have to travel 12 stops in all to get home from work, 6 on one line, and then switch trains and ride 6 on the other line. All DC metro commuters know every now and then you will get on a car that doesn't have AC and so its hot and muggy. Well today I had the joy of being on 2 hot and muggy trains. The first train was bad. I walked in the car and thought to myself, this is gonna be a bad one. Then the train went slower than usual because of the heat (heat index above 95 again, oh joy). So it was just a gross ride. Usually, if I have had bad enough luck to be on one of those trains, I tend to get lucky when I switch trains. Today, not so much. Instead, I walked on to an even warmer car with that was probably the stickiest, most humid, muggy, disgustingly gross feeling car ever. Not only did it feel nasty, but it went sooooo sloooow. And then we sat at least 3 times because there was a train on a platform in front of us. That has got to be one of the most frustrating things in the world-sitting in an idling hot metro car. Ugh. So by the time I got off the train at my stop, I was more than ready to go home and relax in my nice, cool, air conditioned apartment. What a nightmare 40 minutes in the metro system today.
