Yeah, they don't fuck around on Metro. I can only think of a few unpleasant experiences on Metro, one in particular:
We had a minor snowstorm in February of 2000. I had taken the red line to Fort Totten, but when I got downstairs for the green line, the platform was packed. Apparently, the green line was temporarily shut down, with no idea when it would reopen. I tried to call Rho, but she was on the computer at that time. So, I walked from Fort Totten to my apartment in Mount Rainier. About 2 miles. It was like 20 degrees, windy, and snowing. Man, that sucked.
