Once I got on the Pittsburg train when I should've gotten on the Richmond train and the other two times I've gotten on the SF train when I meant to take the Fremont train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-78173235466533629922007-08-14T14:51:00.000-07:002007-08-14T14:51:00.000-07:00Oh that is really funny!!

I guess taking BART can get so routine sometimes that when we break the routine, i.e. drive, our body & mind still continues w/ the routine of taking BART. Thanks for sharing- that's hilarious!bartmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327844700926513435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-17687017449876933142007-08-14T14:24:00.000-07:002007-08-14T14:24:00.000-07:00I mostly ride the train to and from work, but occa...I mostly ride the train to and from work, but occasionally I drive. One day I rushed to catch the train home from Oakland, and when I got to my usual parking area in Hayward, I remembered I had actually driven to work. I had to return to Oakland to get my car. Getting off at the wrong station is amateur idiocy compared with forgetting how you got to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-21115494215374090832007-08-14T10:25:00.000-07:002007-08-14T10:25:00.000-07:00You're not the only one.

Ten minutes waiting for another train (mine went out of service). Ten minutes back. 30 minutes lost!<BR/><BR/>Then there was the time we got on a Pittsburg train instead of Dublin and didn't notice until MacArthur. It was hysterical. I looked up and saw where we were and said to my friend "Get. Off. Now!" That pretty much cost us another 30 minutes.<BR/><BR/>Good times ...dndgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284612890518519525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-90094175205364401012007-08-14T09:01:00.000-07:002007-08-14T09:01:00.000-07:00Not only have I missed my stop before, but once, o...Not only have I missed my stop before, but once, on the way home, I actually boarded the wrong train. Somehow on auto-pilot, I boarded a Richmond train. In spite of the bright red signs and loud announcements. I didn't realize until I was already in the East Bay. The worst part was having to wait and transfer onto a standing-room-only train and have nowhere to sit all the way home. I'm just glad that I realized before I got past MacArthur.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703513987899992771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-5486642026654308472007-08-13T13:41:00.000-07:002007-08-13T13:41:00.000-07:00thanks for the words of support. i guess i cant b...thanks for the words of support. i guess i cant believe i actually thought i saw the sign and heard the stop! haha. actually, i have gotten of late before but it was on purpose because i was on a firedrill call with work and thought it'd be easier if i just stayed inside the train.bartmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327844700926513435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-7849871194924541212007-08-13T13:39:00.000-07:002007-08-13T13:39:00.000-07:00Not only have I gotten off too early, one day I ro...Not only have I gotten off too early, one day I rode all the way to 16th St. and had to come back on a jammed train to Civic Center.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17347513.post-62779219831251786582007-08-13T11:10:00.000-07:002007-08-13T11:10:00.000-07:00Better one stop early than one stop late!

At that time of day riding to Pleasant Hill and waiting for a return train takes a lot more than a couple of minutes. Now, if I am sitting, I always stand up a stop before my station and wait by the doors....<BR/><BR/>I think everyone eventually gets off at the wrong station if you take BART regularly.<BR/>-AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
