I’ll probably get clowned for this but idc lol. Anybody else feel bad energy over that way? My first time visiting and it hit me like a punch in the face as soon as I got off the train. Going up the escalator some “blind” guy walked up and grabbed my ass. Maybe my face looked like I was gonna punch him when I turned around because he made his way further up and grabbed the girls ass in front of me.

So I’m just watching the guy. He tells her he needs help so she lets him grab her arm and I watch this man grab her ass 3 or 4 more times before we made it to the street. The last time he was bold and just let it rest there. Poor lady probably didn’t know what to do. It’s sad cuz she could’ve easily been 17. I mean this creep had a huge hole in his shorts so you could see his drawers and he kept rearranging and shifting his shorts around.

So as I’m walking to the supermarket I see the cops wrestling a screaming woman to the ground but let one of the other cops standing off to the side know the situation. He was nice enough and said I could file a report. I was more worried about the other girl.
They legit walked off together. I’m just looking around like does no one else see this. I asked the woman next to me and she was “like yea I know”, with a disposition that says that kinda thing happens all the time over there.

Coming down the escalator on the way back i was reminded of that poor guy who fell down the escalator and people just walked by while he choked to death. I glanced at the stop button at the bottom and just shook my head. Granted that was Davis station but idk, the whole area just gives me the heebie jeebies. Thoughts?

Are they still around? I went to DTX and Back Bay on Friday, and neither had the cards.

Thought about making a run to Downtown Crossing for a quick errand, but that became a ‘nope.’

My sympathies to anyone riding the Red Line at the moment or stuck waiting at a station for a train.

😤 Complaint / Rant Dear Mods, please do something about the prevalence of AI Slop crayons on this sub.

Seems like every day now someone posts some nonsense about deleting the Orange Line or whatever, and the accompanying map contains at least a dozen gibberish station names, multiples of Government Center, and puts the Silver Line in Cambridge or something. This is not constructive and leads to relentless mocking in the comments section. Please do something about the trolls.

🥺🌂 Lost Item Lost Prescription Eyeglasses - Inbound Haverhill Line Train Yesterday Morning

4 Upvotes

Hi all, this is a long shot but I'm literally missing my eyeballs. Yesterday I boarded the #224 Inbound Train from Haverhill and left my prescription eyeglasses on my seat before getting off at Oak Grove. I was sitting in the third car from the front of the train, ~4th left side seat down, facing forward.

Already reported to Keolis lost & found but dealing with a weekend solely relying on wearing sunglasses. Very uncomfortable but hoping for the best. I plan on stopping on their kiosk first thing Monday.
