Because of service changes, a woman who speaks only Polish is lost on the subway. Two women offer to help her. Kudos to them. But, they don't speak Polish and the Polish speaking woman doesn't speak English... so the two helpful women talk... really... slowly... and... LOUDLY... TO... HELP... HER!

"TAKE... THIS... TRAIN... TO 7TH... AVE... AND THEN GO ACROSS... THE PLATFORM... TAKE THIS TRAIN TO JAY AND... GET THE A... TO... BERGEN... BERGEN!"

Redeeming moment for this whole affair: The Pakistani man sitting across from me made eye contact with me and then laughed so hard that had he been drinking milk, it'd have come out his nose.

Why I didn't get involved: I had nothing to add except for saying "My name-a Borat, do you like me?"
