How’s that working out for you today?

Yes, she left a suicide note in her car that was parked on the center median. Since I know you are one of the resident doubters of everyone on this site, go ahead and google the incident if you would like. I was driving northbound at about 8:45pm on a Thursday night. I understand the woman was obviously disturbed but many people could have died. I can still clearly see her face when I think about it. Horrible sight to see.

If you had any experience with people with mental health issues, you can understand how someone could do this.

Do you really care if you were charged a fee, even though you had to leave the station? And who cares if you were late to your appointment? In the grand scheme of things, someone DIED and your measly pocket change and appointment don’t matter.

Sheesh – get some perspective and stop being so self-absorbed. And please do stop taking Metro. We need less of your kind on the trains.

Maybe she had a painful, incurable and costly disease. Her family, friends and heirs may be thankful.

Metro is a mismanaged waste of taxpayer (and county) money.

But it is true! Regardless of whether you think it’s true or not! (Well, it’s mostly true.)

According to that, 1 million yen. Only about $11,400 US or so, but still, a chunk of change!

Horrible. Will never understand how one could do this. My heart goes out to the individual who felt so hopeless to do this to herself, family and friends. Just wished she would have turned to someone for help. Peace to her.

Agreed…it’s pretty disturbing.
