Theres a Poll In my Sweater. LOCKED

Ok.. An impartial jury is needed to come to what I think is an obvious, but disputed discussion. Imagine yourself as eiter person A or B here, and decide for yourself who was right, and who was not.
Person A grew up in NYC. Knows the subways like the back of his or her hand. Person A takes person B and person C to NYC and jaunts around to enjoy the summer day. Persons B and C are both from NJ, and person B has a good amount of experience riding the train, although he or she would probably have to check a map to get somewhere. While making numerous transfers from subway line to subway line, one particular line gets crowded. While inside the train, it is very difficult to see exactly what stop you arecurrently at. The desired stoip is 42nd, Grand central station. The preceeding stop is 5th ave, the stop after the desired stop is in Queens. (5th ave.....42nd st....queens)Follow? Good. Heres the quandry. Person A has no view of the current station. He or she tells person B that they need to get off at 42nd St. "What stop is this
" says person A. Person B says "the sign says 5th ave". However, this is in actuality, just a sign denoting how to go back 1 stop to 5th ave. Unbeknownst to all, they are currently at their desired stop of 42nd st. As the train proceeds to Queens, Person A notices it is taking way too long to go a few blocks and assumes they have all missed their stop. They must now get off in Queens. Having no turn-around transfer at this station, they must all exit and re-enter across ther street, paying all over again and wasting a half hour. Grand scheme of things, no big deal. But whose fault is this? Person A or B? Or, if youre wacky, c? please explain.

Subways should be melted down.
hi!
Hi. Subways are evil. hahahahahaha... I got lost on the Path once.
how did you manage that? it only goes in two directions-into and out of NY.
I have no idea. I missed my stop in Hoboken and ended up in Harrison or something. Then when I was in the city, I got lost on that maze too. LOL!
NY Subways are slightly harder to navigate so THAT I can maybe understand, but the PATH c'mon now bro! Admitedly, I'm biased since I used to live a few blocks from Journal Square. So I'll stop teasing you now.
I am a woodsy gent. Cities and I don't mesh. I am subway illiterate.
Opposite for me. I'm struggling to maintain my Forreste doesn't get lost reputation down here. Roads don't have signs, but they have 3 or 4 different names. Give me a good square city block anyday.
I prefer windiness and narrow mews dead ends aka London Town streets.
the thing that i like is that you posted this in hopes that you would be proven right....you must be a sad sad little man right now.
haha you're funny ... making fun of your own husband is awesome
it's no ones fault. it's one of those unfortunate crowded subway miscommunication quandaries where 33.3% of the folks are short and 100% of them are gay. who can get mad, really? oh, yeah. you. haha.
Person A should not exactly continue to claim they still know the subway like the back of their hand...
yeeeeeah - when you know the subway like the back of your hand, you can fall asleep and wake up at the exact moment that the train is about to pull into your stop.
BOOYA
Why not take a Cab?
Plus you're wrong.
sorry this was just way too boring to read
I stopped after the first few sentences, it reminded me of those problems in math class about train A from San Diego and train B from New York traveling at an average speed of blah blah...
I was gonna reply to this but it was way to boring to respo
lol
I totally think that person A is totally wrong. its obvious that person B (who as you pointed out isnt that familiar with subways in the first place) was just trying to help out. second you told the story wrong....persons A B & C were supposed to get off at 48th, and person B just pointed out at one of the stops...."i think that says 5th ave" and person a didnt bother to even get out of his seat to check. person C on the other hand has never been to central park, so person C has no reason to even be in this story.
ps i cant believe you actually posted this.
Which person are you?
the one who's married to the one who posted this ridiculous story
I know that! I mean is she A, B or C??
of course she is B. process of elimination dude.
So if she is B, than she shouldnt be the one to blame. Anyone reading the story obviously knows the responsibility squarely falls on A...
Person A because they should have been more aware of the situation. Never trust anyone but yourself...
i don't get why all these letters aren't in my cheerios
I think the actual problem here is vertical-challenged-ness
on the nosey.
You, Tina and Bob were ALL WRONG. you should have just asked someone in the car what stop you were at. :-D
oops, i just made this un-annonymous, but you were all equally guilty. mew. (that mew was to bug you, adamas) haha
ARRRGGGH! stop it! go make some hamburger helper or something. Then post it up here.
go eat some olive garden.
I love mews. Mews houses that is.
Definitely Person C. Where the heck were they? Another pair of eyes could have been useful! Hmph!! haha ;)
