Crying on the F Train
I think it's important for everybody to have a drunken, nervous breakdown on the subway as often as necessary.
Don't keep those feelings bottled up, share them! With strangers. On the subway.
You don't have to suffer alone. It's called being part of a community, people.
I know that it makes the guys sitting by you feel real uncomfortable. Don't worry though, they won't try to console you because they don't care. But don't let that stop you from sharing your feelings.
To enhance the experience, you should scrawl I AM ALL ALONE over and over again into a notebook. Or carve it into your arm, if you're so inclined. (I prefer a notebook).
You can do other stuff to heighten the experience too. Like stare out the window mournfully while overlooking the crapass part of Brooklyn you live in. Or dig through your purse in a futile attempt to find a tissue to dry your tears.
Then, when you get home, make some kinda desperate, humiliating text message to some guy you don't even like, and then feel bad when he doesn't respond the way you want.
Then regret that text message for the rest of your life.
Then pass out in your clothes.
Then do it all again next week. Or this weekend even.

I once threw up all over the F Train. And I once gave a drunken lecture on the F Train all about what a Dirty Sanchez was. Thankfully I have photos to remember these wonderful adventures... because my brain doesn't remember them too well. Oh the F Train how I miss you.
TAXI!
I'm glad you informed the F about what a Dirty Sanchez is. It's important.
Yeah. Taxi. I've heard of that.
Perhaps it's better to cry on the F Train, as opposed to my option of crying alone in my car. Misery loves company!
i prefer crying on the bus, because the bus is a step lower than the train, when you're on the train things can still get worse, but when you're on the bus next to a smelly drunk guy with a tumour on his neck the size of his head and the driver just decided to stop on the darkest street possible because he just doesn't feel like finishing his route, then you're at the bottom. plus you have company per the advice of alannah, and that is a vital part of the public sobbery
That's just not very delightful.
It could have been worse if while you were crying on the F train you accidentally crapped your pants as well.
Things can always be worse, and will always get better.
One time I cried all the way home on the 7 train. I cried even harder when I had to get off at my stop, Woodside. A drunk Irish man asked me if I was ok. In reply, I gave him a dirty sanchez ;)
Yes, it could've been worse.
I could've slipped and slided in somebody's puke, but I did that last week on the F.
I agree with Carolyn. When i feel a good cry coming on, I get on the bus. Because there's probably someone else on the bus crying too.
I can definitely see the advantage of the bus cry.
