Note to self: when train is moving do not attempt to jump off. Jumping will result in tumbling.
Found an error in the MBTA schedule today. Apparently its ok to have two trains arrive at the same station on the same track both at 12:13 and not have the conductor tell you where its going. Usually, its one train, at one time, so you dont board the wrong one. Either way I went two stops realized I was going towards East Bumfuck and had to jump off as the train was pulling away from the station. Bad Idea....Landed on my bag (full of laundry) however it got the attention of an older man who told me I was an idiot because the train could have run me over (i agree) but then after I explained my story he was very kind enough to take me to the orange line so that I could go back to boston and wait an hour and 20mins for my next train home. So ya...
Jumped off a train,
Trusted a total stranger,
Hung around in a train station for over an hour,
Twas one magical day.
