Yeah, it's been fine where I've taken it so far. Haven't ventured south of downtown on the red or green line though. I'm sure that's where the real fun is.

I took the train, bus, subway(red,blue,brown lines) in Chicago daily when I went to college there for a year.

The Only negative was the urine soaked bums asking for money on the subway

Facebook in general.

Being stepped on. In general it would bother me too lol, but this is sports specific. It happened to me once or twice when I was playing ball in high school a couple years ago and it pissed me off then but yesterday it happened again and I was furious.

For those who I haven't told which is just about everyone in this fourm I'd assume, I play Quidditch for EMU (for those who don't know how this amazing game was adapted to the real world, go to this link to read more about it on their official website

And to this link to watch a game being played.)

Anyways. We were playing at Bowling Green yesterday in a tournament and we went 2-0 in our first two games, beating Ashland and tOSU (we also eventually beat Purdue to finish in 3rd but that's irrelevant to my story.) We matched up against Michigan for top seed in our bracket. As soon as I went into the game, I grabbed the ball and started running downfield and the U of M player hits me, he was a big dude so I got knocked on my ***, and then after the ball was in their possession I was trying to stand up and the guy who tackled me looked at me, smirked, and then I got stepped on. I lost my cleat, but damnit I kept on playing and worried about the cleat when I got off the field lol.

I don't know if you thought that video was helping your cause, but seriously

I stopped reading at "amazing game". As long as you enjoy it though...

It helped to show the game in execution...so it did exactly what I figured it would. Explaining the game was part of the story and thus it was necessary context for me to give people an option to research more if it interested them, or the video was a quick way to skim over how a game is played for those who don't care too much.

My point was less about the game and more about getting stomped on but if we want to turn this into a flame war on me, go for it lol. I'm definitely used to my friends dogging me for playing all the time, didn't expect anything different here. Regardless of the sport being played, someone stomping on you is disrespectful and I don't think anyone would like it. Especially when said person was wearing cleats.

I didn't even get that far, stopped after watching maybe 10 seconds of video, maybe in the future you should leave the guys running around with brooms between their legs thing out of the story.
