Turnie the Turnstile Turner
by dwntwnSix
This is my amazing turnstile story. It involves three players:
Tourist Man #1
Tourist Man #2 (friends)
Some Confused Lady


Setting: A 6 train station

TM#1 is headed for the turnstile with his trusty MetroCard in hand. He swipes card, and starts to push the turnstile to go in. The problem is, he grabbed the ‘arm’ of the turnstile – or actually, he is totally confused and tries to push it the other way (and squish himself I assume). He realizes that he was pushing the turnstile the wrong way. Now he pushes it the right way, but he still is pushing the wrong arm and his MetroCard swipe just got lost (does that make sense?).

So he swipes again, and pushes through finally.

His friend, TM#2, is behind him, and swipes his card. He grabs the wrong ‘arm’, too. He is even more confused and apparently did not pay attention to his friend’s antics just seconds earlier.

Behind TM#2 is SCL, who isn’t paying attention, and right as TM#2 is looking like he will go in, she follows behind him and swipes her card.

Of Course, TM#2 totally just lost his ride. The turnstile stops moving. He is looking straight ahead, and keeps trying to push it. As I mentioned, SCL had just swiped her card. Suddenly the turnstile moves and lets him in.

SCL tries to go in as TM#2 is going in, but doesn’t realize that TM#2 just took her fare.
The turnstile stops turning and she stops, and looks around very confused.
She pushes again.
I decide to try the other turnstile. This girl behind me tries to explain it to SCL. The Tourist Guys are blissfully ignorant of just taking her fare and look a bit frustrated with the whole experience - as if our subway system was at fault.

I get on my train. I couldn’t tell if the lady made it through.
