lirr commuters tell stories

There could be a story about a beautiful sunrise or sunset that a commuter witnessed during their journey on the LIRR. They might describe how the light filtered through the train windows and painted the inside of the carriage in warm hues. Some might also tell of the time when they were running late for the train, but by some miracle, the train was also running a bit behind schedule, and they managed to catch it just in time, feeling both relieved and lucky.

Stories of seeing beautiful scenery during the commute, like sunrises or passing by lovely landscapes, add a positive aspect to the LIRR commuting experience. It shows that even though it can be a daily grind, there are moments of beauty. On the other hand, stories of overcrowding or uncomfortable seats can also show the negative aspects that need to be improved in the commuting experience.

There was this time when the train made an unexpected stop in the middle of nowhere. The conductor didn't give any clear explanation at first. We were all worried, thinking there might be some technical problems or even something dangerous. After about 20 minutes, we were told it was due to a signal issue. But it was really scary just sitting there not knowing what was going on.

One that often comes up is the poor communication. For example, if there's a change in the schedule or a problem on the track, passengers are sometimes the last to know. There have been cases where people were waiting at a platform for a long time only to find out the train was cancelled without any prior notice. And also, the state of the train cars can be a horror story in itself. Dirty seats, malfunctioning doors, and bad lighting are not uncommon on LIRR trains.

Another way to deal with commuter horror stories is to stay calm. It's easy to get frustrated when you're in a bad commuting situation, but getting angry won't make the bus move faster or the train less crowded. Just take a deep breath and try to make the best of it. For instance, if you're stuck on a long train ride, you could read a book or listen to music instead of stressing about the situation.

The story of 'The Babysitter' is also quite spooky. A babysitter is alone in a big house with the children asleep upstairs. She starts getting strange phone calls. The caller asks if she has checked on the children. She gets creeped out but dismisses it as a prank. But the calls keep coming. Eventually, she calls the police, who trace the call. They tell her to get out of the house immediately. When she asks why, they say the calls are coming from inside the house. This story builds tension through the sense of isolation and the mystery of the caller.

One such story could be about a haunted house. There was an old, dilapidated mansion on the outskirts of town. People said that at night, you could see a figure in the attic window. A group of teenagers once decided to explore it. As they entered, the doors slammed shut behind them. They heard strange creaking noises and whispers. When they tried to leave, they found that all the exits were blocked. In the end, they were chased by an unseen force until they managed to break a window and escape.

They can tell stories of cultural exchange. An imported porcelain vase in a local museum might tell how trade routes were established and how different cultures influenced each other. The design elements on the vase might be a blend of different cultural aesthetics, which shows the interaction between cultures.

Yes, they do. They can tell stories of the weather. For instance, when clouds start to darken and gather, it's a story of an upcoming storm. If they are thin and scattered, it might be a story of a calm and sunny day ahead.

The 70 stories in '70 stories to tell stories' could be about almost anything. They might include stories of heroism, where ordinary people do extraordinary things. There could also be stories of mystery, full of suspense and unexpected twists. Maybe there are also some heart - warming stories about friendship and kindness. It all depends on the intention of the creator of these stories. If it's for a particular genre - focused collection, like horror or comedy, then the stories would follow those themes. But without further information, we can only speculate.
