As I am minding my own business with Evan, getting out of the Ballston Metro station after our field trip to Capital Q in DC to meet up with Bastos and friends, I am stopped by the omnipresent Metro police.
“Excuse me sir, let me see your SmartTrip. It did not look like you used your card.”
Umm, what?!?! I think he was implying that the Asian guy (albeit well-dressed Asian guy) was too cheap to pay the $2.30 fare.
So he makes me pull out my SmartTrip and wait as he goes back to validate that I in fact paid to get through the gate. Of course, I did. I then poked him back, “Sir, so I paid, correct?” He didn’t even acknowledge and just handed my card back.
I cry foul. Jennifer Park, will you represent me in a lawsuit?
