First off, I enjoy the warmer weather. I love that it stays lighter outside later in the evening. It's all great. Yet there are things out there that also arise at the onset of spring.
The first of which is interns. Yes, interns. Those uppity college kids thinking they're the hottest thing going. They love not getting paid as long as they can tell their other intern friends how great they think they are and how much they're making a difference. I can't even wallow in the life that is my cubicle at any bar because all the interns are having their intern happy hours. Talking about how cool it is to work for free. And somehow they can still afford to go out and drink? You can always spot them on the metro. While I'm trying to figure out the sudoku puzzle, they're busy talking to one another about the kickball league they joined or how they friended someone on Facebook that works on Capitol Hill. Completely annoying. They're as bad as illegal immigrants. But at least the illegals own a car and don't bother me on metro.
Another thing I hate during springtime: tourists. This includes kids on school trips, families sightseeing, and foreigners. Why do the big groups of tourists feel the need to use metro during rush hour? I understand you want to see all the sites, but the monuments aren't going anywhere. Do yourself a favor: sleep in, grab breakfast, and then wait to get on metro. You'll just get frustrated that the train cars are packed. Plus all the people on their way to/from work will have no sympathy for someone on vacation trying to board a packed metro car. And for crying out loud, stand to the right on the metro escalators! I understand you're trying to bring in revenue for the area's tourism industry, but you'd make a lot of people less angry if you didn't stop to figure out where you are when you directly get off of an escalator. It's not the best place to stand when a guy is running to catch a train.
