I came this close (possibly not that close to be honest) to getting arrested last night because of Ale. We walked into the Metro at Diego de Leon. Ale and Victor went through the turnstiles and I said I had to buy a ticket, which I did. By the time I noticed Ale saying I could use his ticket, I had my ticket, but figured, “well, I’ll just use this ticket tomorrow.” So I walked through and used Ale’s ticket. We walked down to the Line 4 platform and as we stood there, a rent-a-cop walked down the stairs saying to us that he needed to see “your ticket.” After it became clear to me that he might my ticket, I said that I hadn’t used the one I bought, but Ale’s. He looked at Ale’s and confirmed that only one of us had paid, which was new information to me since clearly I had passed through and used the ticket’s value. Ale then began to apologize to the security officer, who said he wouldn’t have cared about it except that his supervisor was watching him and told him to chase down the farethieves. We then went through and I used my ticket as Ale apologized to the officer more, who very nicely let us walk away without anything more than paying properly. As we walked back to the platform Ale apologized over and over again in typical Ale fashion for being a disaster and not thinking I could get in trouble.
Yeah. That’s Ale.
