My train rides are getting weirder by the day...

Come on, 15 hour flight... You can hold it.

I've seen people lift the floor plates between the carrages on Latvian trains and squat there. I imagine it's like that on many planes.

living in philadelphia and taking the subway everyday for over 10 years, i've seen my share of odd things on the train: PDAs that rival claire's, people smoking weed, a pile of vomit, somebody vomiting on a seperate occassion. once, after getting off the train and making my way above ground, i saw a man passed out on the sidewalk completely naked from the waste down.

but really, its a lovely city.

The other day a guy kept bragging about his dad's job & putting up their expenses on dad's job. I wanted to laugh & tell him to shut up.

Today a girl sits on her boyfriend's lap (warranted, it was a full train). She talks to two old classmates about school. They're 16 & she asks what they're studying.

Boys: "Natural science".
Girl: "Do you work with animals then?"
*Me cringes*
Boys: "Eh, no. Mainly maths & science."
Girl: "What do you become if you study that?"
Boys: "Eh, anything I want."
Girl: "Woot?! How can you be that?"

I sit & listen to them & keep thinking "How can she be this stupid??!"

Now they're done talking & the girl decides to make out with her boyfriend. I don't mind PDA, but making out in a full train with two people next to you & opposite makes it all...close. Felt sorry for the woman who got the girl's bum towards her.

So, they make out. Looooong kissing. Not overly much, but I DO see the guy's hand moving to her groin....and ehm, staying there...

Finally the other woman next to them leave & a third tells them (in a very nice manner) that "Perhaps they should keep things a bit more private".
Girl: "I do what I want. Hmpf. It's not like we're having sex."

Then ensues a discussion between the girl & woman about appropriateness. Girl **** back that it's her business etc.

Am I the only one with strange commuter encounters?

Oh Claire do I have a story for you!!.. be prepared..

so, a wedding a month or so back that I worked, fortunately not as the bartender, served the dinner deserts, etc and then continued to the other side of the resort to prepare for the early morning breakfast.. When a young man all done up in his wedding clothes stumbles into my dining room.. following conversation goes something like this

me- can I help you?

drunk- Yeass.. I needd twooo things froooom youuuu... One. (as finger gets pointed in my face) is a lighterrr for my ciiigarr..

me-i'm sorry sir this is a nonsmoking facility and I don't indulge, perhaps someone at your reception can give you a lighter and help you to the end of the propery so you can smoke.

drunk- 2. (now two fingers being pointed.. not exactly at my face).. I need help. losttt in thiiisss place. Need to find the bar.. ugghhh party. yes. My brooder got married. to the blond B**ch.. need to go to da partty..

me- I will be more than happy to walk you back.. if you'll just follow me. It can be difficult the hallways are shaped differently. But, we do walk past guest rooms so if you'll keep your voice down.

drunk- Me, I can be quiet.. (laughing hysterically). I had vodka tonight. good stuff tooo.. Grey duck stuff

me- grey goose?

drunk- yepp.. grey goose.. Lots of goose.. the blonde b**ch did one thing right and that was OPEN BAR..

me- vodka is a perfectly respectable liquor i'm glad you enjoyed it.

drunk- Yesss.. I did, you are kinda cute.. how late you working.

me- (spotting my general manager sitting in a library watching the conversation).. I work all night every night sir.

drunk- ohhh... you should sue. that's illegal...

me- I'm more than happy with my work schedule sir

drunk- Ya knowww.. it's goood I wasn't drinking to-kill-ya.. If I were drinking to-kill-ya my pants would have come dowwnnn... but, no big deal, you wouldn't have beeenn offended cause i'm circumsized....

me- here is your party sir. have a wonderful evening.. (while going straight to the bar and having him cut off)..

sari

Sari,
Man, I guess you must meet a lot of people that act crazy in your line of work. Especially as they're drunk....

I love the "You wouldn't of been offended because I'm circumsized" part - no offence taken from the fact your stripping naked...but MAN! Not circumsized...get that guy outta here!

Hmmm... Young with raging hormones, not an ounce of self esteem, sounds like a hooker in training.

HAHAHAHA

Where do you get hooker in traing from that?

this makes me want to hate my generation more as it is. Lot's of loosers, wierdos, jerks etc.

Don't worry kid, those criteria transcend generations I assure you

He has a dirty imagination. I mainly found it rude of her to not think about that they were bothered the two people sitting next to them. Not for the sake of the making out, but that they took up a lot of place...

Dirty imagination, well, um.. what that got to do with anything. Ok, so maybe it was a bit harsh, but it seems to me that sticking your bum in someones face with a hand up youe skirt is well, way more than a simple PDA.

I see couples kissing and making out in the store, standing next to the car in the parking lot, and in a bunch of other locations...

Like, yes - it is your right, but seriously - kiss somewhere else. In fact, it makes me angry to people making out in public. Holding hand - okay, hugging - okay, kissing - NO!!

Sounds like me in my err, younger days Hubby and I don't PDA these days.

I don't mind kissing in public. I do believe there's no need for heavy making out seshs in small spaces with people around that may not want to to see your bf's hand riding up your thigh...and not staying there...

I admit to a bus make out sesh in my teens, but to my defence, it was a night bus. And I don't count club venues as I've seen enough stuff there, as well as probably guilty to some myself, but that's not as bad timing.
