She Had It Out For Me...
So I'm getting on the Go Train this morning, like I do every morning for my daily commute. I'm the first one on my car, so I'm thinking I'm having a pretty good day. Then I spot it...a primo seat, one against the window AND facing the right way! I slip in and plop down in the seat and am immediately greeted by a big sigh from the woman beside me and dirty looks from the woman across from me. What's the big deal? If I hadn't sat there, someone else would have!
I shrug it off and turn on my walkman to relax and enjoy my window view. The woman across from me is continuing to shoot me ice stares which she thinks I can't see, but I'm watching her from the reflection in the window. She gives up when she realizes I'm not going to look at her and tries to go to sleep.
Okay, we're both short women, I'm 5'4", and there's no way she was taller than I was...I had NO leg room. She slouched down and put her legs totally into my space to the point where her knees were touching mine and proceeded to fall asleep like that. So I'm sitting there with my feet tucked under my seat (very uncomfortably) and my knees as far back as the seat will allow. She suddenly jerks awake and "accidentally" kicks her pointy toe shoe into my shin. She totally makes eye contact with me and DOESN'T appologize...I mean...come ON! Stupid bitch.
As we're pulling into Union Station she looks sweetly at me and tells me to have a nice day. What's up with that? I totally feel like I'm doomed to have the worst day ever now and it's all going to be her fault!
Damn.
