I'm often surprised at the conversations I hear float around me...not to mention some of the behavior that goes on.
I listened to two people talk about their jobs as funeral directors and how they have "stitched" certain relatives..."oh I stitched my husband, my mother and my cousin...who died." Really? they died? Gosh I hope so considering you stitched them! Mmmk
And then there were the business men who were talking about all the female sales reps in their work place. Not only were all of them incompetent, but for these men it was exactly how they expected it to be and had the male chauvenistic tone of "it is what it is...I mean really what can you do...they are female...who can expect them to do any better". I have to wonder if they are as good at their jobs as they think they are...I doubt not. Now I don't really consider myself a feminist but I bristle when I hear stuff like this. Grrr
Couples really really making out on the ferry seems to be pretty normal.
Lots of singing while listening to ipods, some good, some really bad.
People who think they can beat the closing doors on the subway and get stuck between the two doors...that one actually kinda freaks me out...cuz what happens if the driver doesn't notice? Shudder....
Funniest thing though was the kid wearing the low riders whose pants actually fell down. Haha...snort!
So why is it that public transportation seems to encourage people to behave as if they are walking around in "the cone of silence" from Get Smart? Is it the idea that the more people are surrounding you the more privacy you have because there is such a flood...a sensory overload of people? I'm not sure...but it makes the 3 hours goes by pretty quickly.
