Public Transport - by Ploy

Screwing up the time and space continuum

October 26th 2006 23:45
If I catch an early train some mornings and sit in a certain carriage, there is this girl who refuses to sit the way the train is going. It really bothers me because when there isn’t a seat then I have to sit facing her.

It’s like she is disrupting the whole flow of things, on purpose!

Its not just me that gets pissed off, sometimes there are other people who get to the seat and look frantically around for another, sigh and sit opposite her because they have no other choice. She just stares eerily out the window. It’s bizarre.

I want to know if this girl is she doing it on purpose? Is it like a power trip for her? Like “Mwuahaha! I have screwed everyone up!” Does she giggle to herself when a person doesn’t have a seat and has to sit opposite her? It’s like some sick sick joke she likes playing on poor innocent people trying to wake up and go to work to earn an honest living.


No one likes to look at a random person opposite them while travelling on a public transport. Where do you look? Out the window? The floor? Even if you have your earphones in, you still need to look somewhere right? Don’t tell me you close your eyes and bop to the song! Don’t worry, I’ve seen that too! It’s not right either!

I definitely think the book and earphone combo is definitely the best safety blanket. You don’t have to look at anyone; you don’t have to hear anything. You know I’ve even bought a trashy magazine to keep me safe at times.

But what the hell do you do when you were in such a rush you left your MP3 player at home, finished reading your safety blankie book, got only enough money in your wallet for gum and the only seat left is where you’re facing some random person. OMG! Thinking about it is making me cry…

I do that too, sometimes, because I'm too lazy to flip the seat.

Hahah next time you think "Lazy" think of the chick that is freaking out opposite you.

Maybe its just me being paranoid... When people look at me I think:

"Is there something on my face?"
"Is my shirt button undone?"
"Does he think I'm cute?"

Hahah I'm the worst!
