Upon further review it appears tattle tale was probably upset she couldn't eat too. 

It was jealousy.

But she can choose to break the same rule and eat too if she wanted. Don’t do it in front of a cop. Crying on Twitter is dumb. 

Edit: I think I missed that this was a fat joke. Never mind

The metro employee said, "Worry about yourself." I can get behind this.

seriously, though. more people should do this. you have no idea what burden the guy next to you is carrying. just be nice to people and leave well enough alone. why in the blue fuck would she 1) desire to report the employee, 2) take a picture and post that to twitter, tagging her employer? what in the actual fuck. you don't know the situation. maybe she's a single mom, who has to rush to get her kids to school on time and then herself to work, and she's got no time to eat, except that 20 minute commute. put in your earbuds, shut the fuck up, and close your eyes, you stupid bitch.

If everyone's number one commandment was "just don't be a dick to other people," our society would improve by 1000%.  If what the other person is doing isn't hurting you, don't be a dick.  If being nice to someone won't hurt you, don't be a dick.  Just....don't be a dick.

what a cunt. At times like these I always think about what kinda freaky shit I could make that girl do if I could just make it all go away for her. I am a sick bastard and have consumed too much alcohol tonight.

Well hello Mr. Weinstein. Here's your orange jumpsuit

For real. Probably the least hatable person on the story is the shitty employee. 

The busy body is terrible. 

The people trying to make this about body shaming black women are mega cunts. 

The publisher cowtowing to the blatently fake outrage is similarly terrible.  

Wat?  Did you read the "20 minute" part?

I do support using twattagram to call out people breaking norms on flights though.  Like people putting their bare feet on armrests and bulkheads. Those people deserve public ridicule

Don't know how to embed Instagram but this is either hilarious or disgusting, or both.

I question the whole “she was on a break” storyline.  If she’s traveling to another location for her next task, that isn’t a break. She’s on the clock working. 

For real. Like, bitch couldn't find a broom? Them windows ain't going to clean themselves... She trying to ride the clock and eat it, too.

My proposal to get everyone to play nice is each individual can kill one person in their lifetime with no consequences. Mouthy fuckers will shut up then, I bet.

She was a total cunt for doing this, but fuck the publishing company for acting like a bunch of little bitches too.

Agree.

The punishment for doing something stupid online rarely fits the crime.

This dumb chick is ruined.

Their customer base won't stand for her now that she did this, it's the right move for the publishing company.

Kind of like how she, as a customer, couldn't stand that a Metro employee was eating. Goose, gander, and all that.

I bet the publishing company is a vanity press, ie, authors pay to have them print their books, and thus the customer base is other unpublished authors with enough mommydaddy money to print up 5,000 copies of their own stuff.

Only 2,000 copies of which will be printed.

12 copies will be legit sold. 200 more will be peddled as gifts to friends, family, local libraries.

After a year, the remaining 1,788 copies will be "discovered" and the author will have the option to pay (again) to get them delivered, or else they will be pulped for recycling.

Then decades later, the remaining, moldering 1,786 copies will be found lining the author's cat-feces encrusted apartment, and finally be pulped.

Unless the author successfully becomes mayor of Baltimore, which seems unpromising at the moment.

I don’t live there or ride the train. Someone that does please enlighten.

Do metro workers give out citations to riders for eating, drinking, smoking, etc... on the train? Are they dicks about it?

I’d need that context before passing judgment.

There are transit police that do that, so it wouldn't have been a regular employee like this woman.  A while back I was carrying a drink in and a metro employee at the gate told me I had to throw it away, so I suppose they do that sort of thing.    I've read that the transit police usually give out a few hundred eating citations a year, but also that they recently have stopped issuing citations for offenses like this.  Fare evasion was recently decriminalized, and it seems like they are reworking the enforcement system in general because of concerns related to racially disproportionate enforcement of the laws.

Overall the DC metro system is remarkably clean for a subway.  Although I don't ride it often, I rarely see anyone eating when I do.

How does racially disproportionate law enforcement work in a city that is so heavily African American?  Do they have ridership surveys that tell them who is riding, to compare to citation issuance?

Only the AAs are given citations, even though they commit fewer offenses.  Duh.

Without hitting the googles, can you remember the name of the racist Sooner frat bastard that was singing about hanging black folks from trees several years ago?

She can change her name and no one will remember this six months weeks from now.
