Green line, Government Center Station:

A group of adolescents try to push their way onto an already full train. The first of about a dozen stops in front of a stroller that the rest don't see. Laughing, they start to push him forward. He objects, quietly at first, then a little louder, and finally with an outburst.

"Guys! ******! There's a ****** baby up here!"

Suddenly the mood of the horde changes. They quietly file past the mother and her child, looking at their feet. Only after they are well installed and are no longer endangering infants does their idiotic behavior resume.

  1. It's fun to see the phrase "everyone loves babies" put to the test. :)
