Local subway rider Lucas Tapovilla felt acutely embarrassed this morning when he stumbled along with everyone else as the train stopped. “It’s supposed to just be the tourists that trip and fall over each other when that happens,” said Tapovilla, sheepishly looking around to make sure no one saw him stumble. “It was a freak moment of imbalance, and it will never happen again. I can’t rightly consider myself a city slicker when I make screw ups like that. I mean I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, everything I do reminds me of it. I haven’t felt like myself since it happened. To be honest, I look in the mirror and all I see is some loser who falls over when the train stops.” At press time, Tapovilla foolishly stepped forward to leave the elevator before it was his floor.
