Dear PoPville,
Just had a very disturbing experience & hope it’s a rarity. Was at the Petworth metro heading towards the escalator when I heard screaming. I turned around & saw someone on the outside of the metro who appeared to have his foot stuck in the door. The train began to move & I & the few people on the platform began to frantically search for the call box. As the train gained speed the kid jumped off & his friends started laughing. I found the station attendant & told her what happened. She immediately replied that it was ‘train surfing’. I pointed out the kid, he just walked out of the metro without being stopped. The metro employee was genuinely concerned when i told her but didn’t stop them. I wanted to say something to him but decided any teen insane enough to train surf wasn’t going to listen to me. My heart finally stopped racing & I walked home.
I hope this is an isolated incident!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
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.
