It’s 6 pm and you’re leaving work.
You’re tired.
You’re waiting for the bus.
You notice the bench that was at the bus stop the day before is no longer there.
WHAT DO YOU DO?!?!
During my travels last week, I witnessed a gentleman going through this exact scenario. Apparently, this man took matters into his own hands and said “To Hell with this! I’m making a bench!”
There you have it: creativity, ingenuity, and distruction of private property. All in the journey to a destination called comfort. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. That guy looks mighty relaxed. It’s almost as if he’s oblivious to the fact that he’s sitting on a newpaper bin.
Not just any newspaper bin, but the bin for “Express” newspaper. The free one that is available in abundance at pretty much any Metrorail station in the Washington DC area. It’s kind of fitting that the newspaper which provides free reading material for commuters to make their trip more bearable, should be the one whose bin also helps aid in the comfort of travelers. Express: The gift that keeps on giving.
Can you all tell that this is a cheap plug to get myself quoted in their “Blog Log” section again? If so, I’ll make my shameless self-promotion a little less obvious next time.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan…
At first I thought that was you sitting on that Express.. thingy. I was about to clown the light skin off of ya. lol
But dang that’s pretty funny. Here’s a question though. What kind of phone do you have? My camera phone REEKS. I really wanna see if I can catch up with the Joneses and get a new phone soon.
omg hilarious
@ Hassan, I have a Razr. I got it back when they were on sale right after Christmas. I think they have a new and better one out now. I usually touch up the photos I put on here in photoshop to enhance the clarity, because the quality on this one could stand some improvement, too.
@ Irina, I thought so to ;)
ABSOLUTELY FAWKIN DEAD!!!!
**dead**
And why does it look like he dragged it over from the designated spot and got it just right before he plopped down on it??
LOL–yes the Express is the paper (stand) that keeps on giving….
he’s a great man of genius…lol
you late homie. we on the west coast have been using shopping carts as makeshift benches for years
You are too funny…*lol*
Ain’t nothing wrong with a little shameless self-promotions!
@ Hostess, would expressing my love lust for a beautiful After Party hostess be considered shameless self promotion? Or would that just be wierd? Help me out…
@ BK, I was hoping folks would laugh as much as I did.
@ Mikey, not the psychedelic frog!!! You’re going to piss off a certain someone, Mr. Sunday!
@ tenacious, originally, it was about 5 or 6 feet away. Or at least that’s where the missing news container space was at.
@ Kristen, I’m sure it’s not a new phenomenon here, either. I had to put this up for the good fooks at Express, whom STILL didn’t put me in their damned paper despite the shout-out.
@ NSane Lee, Thank you
This is too funny!
