DOB2RTO Posted February 14, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2008 Valentines day is the next day, and maybe they were beyond hurt by not having a valentine. I'm still looking for a new one. Hopefully this one I've been eying, will get on the bus tonight, so I can ask her. Got to be careful who I ask, as too many of them see ATM not MTA.

R1Toasty Posted February 14, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 14, 2008 That sucks, I kinda find Valentine's Day a little repulsive, maybe 'cause I'm single, but I'd never take my own life over a holiday for lovers, but I'm not them.

Pablo M 201 Posted February 14, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 14, 2008 Geez man, what desparate ppl these days. You don't see me jumping in front of trains, but one thing, I'm not desparate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebbieprops Posted February 15, 2008 Share #6 Posted February 15, 2008 Naturally, I'm sad to hear it, but then again, not having a valentine is about the most ridiculous reason to take your own life as I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Singles Awareness Day! I find valentines day a little expensive, cause that's all it is. IMO, Valentines day is all year round with you lover.......

Harry Posted February 15, 2008 Share #10 Posted February 15, 2008 What these morons need to understand is that they're involving the train crew when jumping in front of a train. They should stay home and mix up a toxic drink and down the hatch. That's it! That way none of the hard working employees of any transit system suffers.

That way none of the hard working employees of any transit system suffers. 3 ounces of turpentine, a shot of paint thinner, add some crushed cyanide tablets, a little sugar for sweetness, and some flavoring of ones choice. Screw transit workers, they all suck!........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echo4plur Posted February 19, 2008 Share #12 Posted February 19, 2008 Before you continue to rag on my friend, please realize this had nothing to do with his lack of having a Valentine. Show some respect and compassion for a human being before you all start sounding like a miserable bunch. If anyone wants to learn more about this wonderful human being, let me know. I'd be happy to pass on his obituary privately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to pass on his obituary privately. I guess your friend was the train victim. It doesn't look like anyone was ragging on your friend. All subway jumpers are the same to railfanners. They don't attack them personally. They attack their choice of where to take their life. In any case, I'm very sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to pass on his obituary privately. i don't think they mean it. like BMT 4 Life said they don't like how they decided to take their life. and as for your friend, i feel very sorry for you, i totally understand sometime people just can't go on with their life, for whatever reason it is.
