We can avoid more senseless seat slaughter by enacting box cutter control!

Our only opposition is the National Emo Association, who claim that box cutters are for relieving stress, not for cutting up innocent seats.

People don't kill people. Cutters kill people. Lets prevent another 9/11 and ban box cutters.

Transit police say the fabric of 480 seats was cut with a box cutter between August and November, and that the cost to repair the seats would be over $45,000.
that POS blue cushion cost almost $100 each?

last week the train stopped on the tracks at 1 am. some guy kept pressing the emergency button, about 400 times, trying to get an operater not realzing that everytime he pressed the button he was hanging up on the guy. His reason?

He was going to miss his fucking bus home.

I had to deal with 30 minutes of this guy pressing the fucking button.

Must not have been that easy actually finding out who did it just based on surveillance footage.

Seriously you must be the biggest idiot on RS,do you go out of your way to post stupid shit?

Were you dropped on your head a half dozen times when you were a baby and kicked around a bunch of times before one of your parents picked you up off the ground?

he's probably unemployed.

i call it the reddit theory

Have issues in their own life that have nothing to do with conspiracies. Can't get employed because he's a fucking weirdo/dumb/generally creepy.

Blames the Jews, spews all his hate on the internet.

Given that I've never known any shop to deviate from assessing cost based on full hours, even if only a partial hour is consumed, $100 seems entirely reasonable.

$40 - 1 employee/hour (wage + e.i. + c.p.p. + benefits + office)

$25 - 1 shop space/hour (net monthly cost of electricity, water, maintenance/working hours)

$35 - 1 institutional upholstered plastic seat shell (institutional = expensive, because of lower production volumes)
