Betcha the NY commuter straight out of the 'do you know who I am?' school is sorry now
that her harangue has been posted on You Tube. :rofl:


snip

Captured on a cell phone by a fellow passenger on a New York area train is a commuter straight out of the 'do you know who I am?' school.

Talking loudly to a friend, and allegedly using profanities, the woman is told calmly by one of the Metro-North train's conductors to keep the noise down and to stop using swear words.

snip

At that point our flustered female delivers her closing line before walking off: 'No do not tell me to go to customer service. I am not a crazy person. I am a very well-educated person.'

A minute later, there was an announcement asking all passengers to please not use profanity on the train, 'especially those people who went to Harvard or Yale or are from Westport.'

7. I love that this made Youtube
I take Metro North and the most common complaint people have is those on cell phones who think everyone around them just HAVE to her their conversation. Since they mentioned Westport, it must have been the New Haven line (not my line) - that's the line that goes to Connecticut. Hope she's enjoying her close up.

13. ....but....she....
"Hermon Raju will be a junior this fall at New York University (NYU), where she is currently pursuing a major in International Politics with a minor concentration in History. She lives with her parents Baldev and Manjit Raju in Garrison, New York. She will be an int-ern in the office of Congressman Joe Crowley (D-NY), the co-chair of Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans."

"The past semester, Hermon finished a term abroad at La Peitra, the Florence extension of NYU. While at NYU, she involves herself in various events with the NYU chapters of the United Sikh Association and the Hindu Student Council. During the past academic school year, she volunteered with AIDS patients and has been involved in a peer mentoring program, known as the University President’s C-Team. In her spare time, Hermon is a member of NYU’s Equestrian team and has participated in the campus choir program. She hopes to continue her involvement in the community throughout the remainder of her academic career and is looking forward to her internship with Congressman Crowley’s office."

From 2004.
