so, do you get people doing the suicide leap thing off your overpasses? We had one today. In rush hour, of course.

Lots of griping at how inconsiderate that is. Which leaves me kind of scratching my head.

Guess they just want to make a big splash.

There's actually a standard recorded announcement on the Tube.
Due to a body on the line at x, there are delays on the x line.

Then again, hitting the live rail is pretty conclusive.

North Bridge is apparently a hotspot in my town.

We get about 1 bridge jumper per year.

But what about plunging busses? Do you get those as well?

Update: the guy left a note that said,

"Obama take care of my family."

oi.

ROTFLMAO. What a tool.

We get a handful of suicides a year on the Metra line in Chicago. One of the conductors told me it was common because the insurance companies can't prove it was suicide -- might've been an accident. So the families still collect insurance.

... I wonder if they collect the accidental death "bonus" too?

Is committing suicide on Halloween a cliche? Or is it some sort of sick joke to scare your family with?

No...I'm a ghost. For real this time. Boo!
