The bad part of doing the Yonge street TTC loopback shuffle...

Sometimes it doesn't work.

Sometimes you overhear that typical Bay street crap...


"Our Christmas dinner was at Didier. $4500 for 10." "Not bad" he says. Then he goes on to say that it wasn't that good, and "the service was sh***y." Then he drops the J.P. Benson name as if that means anything !


He's still going on. Only these types and unknowing tourists talk across the subway car like no one else is here.


Where's he getting off ?


And what the lady's story ? They both seem to trying to impress.


He's trying to think of Tru... something...sure enough Triax, one of those bastard labour sponsored funds I sunk money into a while back. Makes sense he's buddies with the founders.


Getting off at St Clair.


* The Yonge Street TTC Loopback Shuffle is a commuting technique where you get on the subway travelling the opposite way you need to go, then get off and switch back in the intended direction. This technique drastically increases the odds you'll actually got on a train and maybe find yourself a little elbow room in the middle of the car.

had to reread this one to figure out what you were saying, but finally, I got it. Sometimes I'm not as smart as I look ;-)

You actually do the TTC loopback shuffle? You think you save time? really? doesn't it take 10 or 15 minutes just to get back to where you started?
