#sometimeswhenimsittingonthetrain

Confessions from a commuter on a public train........

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train & I can hear an entire (half) conversation from a passenger talking on his/her phone, I get awfully annoyed.  #wrapitup #callemback #nobodywantstoknowyourbiznass #stfu

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train & see a woman's work badge with her name visibly displayed, I want to tell her how potentially dangerous that is.  I imagine her getting off the train, a bad guy following her and saying "Hey, Maria", her turning like she knows him, and him grabbing her.  #strangerdanger #staysafe #carrymace

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train & can hear house/techno music blaring loudly from another passenger's headphones, I think does anyone really listen to that shit?  Then, I realize they could be thinking the same thing about my musical selections.  #hairbandsforever #octoberisrobzombiemonth

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train, I encounter a passenger (or two, or too many to count) that needs to be taught about personal hygiene.  #itscalleddeoderantuseit #deoderantisourfriend #cantyousmellyourself

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train, I encounter a passenger (or two, or too many to count) that needs to be taught about personal space.  #getoutofmybubble #dontcrossmyforcefield

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on the train, I offer my seat to a person who is obviously 20+ years older than me and wonder why others don't do the same.  #respectyourelders #whatswrongwithpeople

Sometimes, when I'm sitting on a train & there are loud talkers, or screaming kids (sorry, I know they scream sometimes), or smelly people, I'll get my ass up and move.  #sorrynotsorry #youaredisturbingmyreading #wheresthequietcarriage

Do you commute on public transport?  What happens to you sometimes, when you're sitting on a train/bus/tram/subway?
