Personally, I think the MTA should just use the stickers you made for them.

They have also programmed the M-7’s to make an announcement after “this is the train to; the next station is” and “this station is” that says please “step over the gap between the train and the platform.” Apparently “watch the gap” (the old message) didn’t sufficiently insult the average person’s intelligence.
And thanks for that story…I think we’ve all been guilty at one time or another of making a quick assessment of another person as you say, upon seeing only a slice of their life.

I have a coworker that went into a diabetic shock a while back. He just said he wasn’t feeling good and wandered off. It was a pretty scary couple of hours trying to find him. Eventually he was found a few floors up, slumped over in a corner.
