"Aw snap, you the one that got (inconsiderate prison humor)."
Conversation ends, someone gets stabbed fulfilling the statistically likelihood (50%?) that a previous inmate is likely to return to prison.

If you confuse the stairwells in the 5 points train station - take 2 shots and try again from the start. (I swear... I hate transferring at 5 Points. I ALWAYS end up taking the longest route to transfer).
I'm dead serious...I have heard this conversation at least twice on MARTA.
Both times women. They catch up, ask about mutual friends they know from 'the inside', and so on...

The train doors won't close properly (which happens often). The train operator then takes 10 minutes and walks through every train car to see which doors won't close. Then we sit around for another 10 minutes without any announcements. Then the train operator tells us that 'this train is out of service' (because of inoperable doors) and we all need to exit the train. Then we wait another 10 minutes for the next train to arrive-Chug. Happened earlier this week during morning rush hour. There has to be a better way. Happens way too often.

You might need to pass the time by downing the entire bottle, in this case.

Drink a full bottle every time you are exiting an event or in any situation where there is a full platform of people waiting to go one direction and nobody waiting to go the other direction and 2 trains pass through the station heading in the direction nobody is waiting for before one comes going in the direction that everybody needs to go in.

If that train, when it finally comes, is already standing room only, jump onto the tracks in front of it.
