Train

Travelling on the train there are so many conversations going on that I find myself listening in to. It's so hard to find somewhere to look that isn't catching someones eye.

On the Broady train I always overhear at least one phone conversation, usually more. The other day I was sitting in an aisle seat and on one side of me I had the group of 14 year olds talking about their friend who had gone on their first date on the weekend, and went to the movies with a boy and has 'love marks' on her neck and they are so cute as a couple!
On the other side, (the side I was sitting on, ugh) I had three people talking about death metal and one of them talking about how people always want to bite him, and then demonstrating how he broke his finger once and could sometimes disconnect it and wave it around. YUCK!

I felt very sick.

On the up side on the train platform a lady approached me and asked if there were newspapers on the platform for sale. When I replied that it wasn't on this platform, but back up the stairs, she looked worried and said she didn't want to miss the train. She was old, and very shaky, so I offered to run up to the newsstand and get her a paper, as there was still ten minutes left till the train arrived. She pulled her wallet out right in front of me and gave me the money for it, I went and got her the last one left. I am glad that I could make someones day a little better.
