Impossible to do anything at all entirely to the satisfaction of a certain class of individuals...
This body of men is commonly designated by their comrades as the "grousers."

Victory! LIRR Ladies' Room Response


Dear Mr. W.:
I am in receipt of your e-mail regarding the Little Neck Station restroom. You will also be receiving a reply from President Williams regarding your suggestion, but I wanted to let you know your comments were forwarded to the station's Branch Line Manager, and the men's restroom will be changed to unisex in the near future.

Thank you for writing, and thank you for riding the MTA Long Island Rail Road.

Sincerely,

Tom N.
Manager-Public Affairs

Great job, LIRR! For this you've earned The Grouser Star of Approval™!

Christopher, while I've never been to LIRR's Little Neck station, I view this victory -- no, this triumph -- as historical. Thank you for bringing such flagrant social injustices to the surface and for championing for all our rights. Today hero is spelled T-h-e-G-r-o-u-s-e-r.
