Get This Man a Lozenge!

Last night on my commute home, I had the most hoarse MTA conductor on a downtown R Train. The guy could barely get a word out without his voice cracking.

Poor guy. I’ve got to give credit where credit is due: you’d think most MTA employees are so lazy that they’d call in sick at the onset of a single cough. This guy is going above and beyond the call of duty!

“I feel so bad,” a woman next to me said. “I want to run down there and give the guy a cough drop!”

    YGIU: I would not be surprised. He also gets his health care subsidized by taxpayers, so by going to work sick, he’s actually costing us money!
