being broke in dc



For the past 65 days I’ve been riding the metro for free. It’s easy, just follow someone really close while they’re clocking in, place your wallet over the sensor to mimic your own entry and Voilà! You are now officially granted one free ride courtesy of ...well whoever. The tricky part comes when you’ve reached your destination and you have to exit the station by clocking in your metro card once more. This can pose as a problem when it’s 2:00 in the morning and the only people around are the people leaving or going to their houses or the graveyard shift. But the subways don’t care. Besides, hopping turnstiles is beneath me. I’d just as soon lie.
