The Love Train (Old People Doin' It)

So I've been taking the Trinity Railway Express for almost three years and I have never seen anything X-rated on the subway, aside from a drunken lady asleep with her skirt raised a little too high and the occasional high school girl is going to a stripper try out.

For the past couple of days on the way home though, an elderly couple has been asked to stop showing too much Public Display of Affection on the train. Apparently the guy was going to town kissing his (presumably) wife, in plain sight of everyone.

To be fair, all the elderly couple did was make out hardcore like they were in high school and every once in a while they would give each other with a quick feel. A kid of about 8 or 9 was sitting right behind them (eventually his mom got him up and into another section of the car--over his objections; poor woman probably had a lot of questions to answer). People either looked on in shock or moved away but no one said anything to the couple directly.

Their expression of love apparently made someone a little upset because one of the train conductors had to have a conversation with the elderly couple and the TRE's rules on PDA. I don't know who was more embarrassed, the elderly couple or the employee who had to talk about excessive kissing and touching to the elderly couple.

I arrived at a successful conclusion en route to my stop at the Bedford Station while the elderly couple left the reaming passengers in a daze at the Centerpoint Station. Old people just need some good ole fashion train love.

The funny part is this has not been the first time the couple has been in trouble for this. It took me a couple of days to complete this post and since then, the couple has been issued an official warning from the T.R.E. that says if they get caught one more time, they will be fined and/or suspended from the train for an undetermined amount of time.

Well, I guess the T.R.E. not longer stands for Trinity Railway Express. It now stands for The Raunchy Elderlies, but I don't think this level of PDA is anyone's idea of a lovely time.
