Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

The American Girl Place Factor

I have had a running theory as a commuter for a few years now. If you see a family with American Girl Place bags sitting next to you, run. To take it a step further, the more bags you see, the more distance you should put between yourself and the AGPers.

For example last night we mananged to sit next to a group with 4 kids and about 6 AGP bags. Sure enough the kids were all over the place, and by the end of the trip one of the kids was screaming this shrill wail that had to piss off dogs for miles.

Honestly I am not quite sure what makes the AGP bags such a great forward indicator of bratly activity. It must be something to do with the kids are probably spoiled rotten if their parents can afford to waste hundreds of dollars on damned dolls. Heck those stupid dolls have more expensive clothes than I do.

Anyways, so there is your free advice for the day. When riding the South Shore, remember the AGP factor when determining where to sit. If you see AGP bags, there is probably a reason there are open seats around those muggles.
