A reader writes “Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.”:

“Thank you for contacting the Office of Customer Relations. We apologize
for the inconvenience that you experienced. A refund will be provided to you in the form of a complimentary free ride ticket.
Please respond to this email with your mailing address and I will send the ticket immediately. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and thank you for using Metro.”

For those curious about the inconvenience experienced:

“I waited this afternoon at Pentagon City for over 20 minutes only to find out from the station manager upon exiting (without having boarded a train) that the Yellow Line was single-tracking. No information was provided on the signs indicating single-tracking was in progress, and the ETAs for Yellow Line trains was at or below 10 minutes during my entire wait. Eventually, I had to find an alternate method of transportation in order to make my meeting.”

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
