Schwarzfahrer

As you may know I am currently lacking in funds, hence the babysitting. This means at times I must be a Schwarzfahrerin (lit. black rider) and ride the UBahn, SBahn, bus, or tram without a ticket. They do not check for these every time you board public transportation (unless you are getting on a bus at night), which means if you don't guilt easily by all the signs saying not to do it you can get away with not paying. Occassionally they have undercover ticket inspectors that will board and wait for the doors to close and then whip out their id and ask for tickets. Even though it is a 40 euro fine, I always imagine getting caught will go down like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where he throws a Nazi out of the plane and then explains this action by saying, "No ticket."

Anyway the only good thing about this situtation is that it makes me think of this excellent short film from several years ago.
