Orange Line regulars know the shrill blare of her voice only too well, the scream that demands people back away from the doors NOW. For unlike other subway workers, who first tell people to stop holding a door fairly calmly before escalating into DefCon 4 mode, she is the permanently irritated throbbing nerve of every station between Forest Hills and Oak Grove.

Desiree Headley reports a new, even more severe edge to her this morning:

Nothing makes my commute more enjoyable than listening to an MBTA employee curse over the intercom. Love it!

She screams: "Attention passengers do not hold the door! ... What the f**k???"

One wonders how long we have to wait before she rips open the door to her compartment, finds the evil door-holder, puts him in a headlock and begins whaling away at him.
