Can you help? I was fiddling with my engagement ring and it fell off onto the platform this morning at Clarkson and I couldn't find it. If I emailed you a reward poster can you put it up for me?

Do you mean on my site?

What site? Sorry?

My website.

One the GO website! You can do that?! That would be amazing! Thank you!!!!!

Okay, I have to step back here. Did you really lose a ring or are you just messing with me?

Who is this?

Who is this? This is Cindy.

OOMG. Sorry I thought I was texting GO customer service.

Nope. How did you get this number?

From Google.

Wow. Again, amazing...

Sorry?

Never mind.
But tell you what, tell me about the ring and I will post a post on my website about it. How much is the reward?

What website would you put it on?

www.thiscrazytrain.com

I don't think I'm comfortable with that. Will GO people read it?

Yes.

Is it like a shoutout?

Sort of.

Okay I wil be at work soon and I will let you know. Okay? Sorry to bother you.

No worries. The offer is there.

I get a little flutter everytime I see the next story is a text exchange!

It's like a train wreck, you can't help but look!

A lost engagement ring would actually be worthy of a shout out. NOT a scarf, or umbrella, or book or one of the many other easily REPLACED items that people post about!!!

Hmmm, I've heard about what happens to a penny put on a train track. Wonder what happens to a gold or platinum ring.

So she didn't send you a poster? You could add Ron's picture, since he seems to be looking for something on the GO train too.

Ever see what happens to a nickel when you put it on train tracks? It turns into a quarter.

TTC tokens on the other hand don't squish so well, or so I've heard...

What search term are these people using? I've tried Go transit, Go train, Go customer service. Ahhh, it is "LSW Go train". TCT is the top 3 slots. Why read when you can just click the first thing.
BTW LSW Go Gang facebook site warns of "festive mood" tonight. If you are tired, in mourning, still working etc and can't handle this gang and their noise, make other travel plans.
