Seat Confusion

Tuesday, October 10, 2006 - 8:06 a.m.

What is it about finding a seat that provides so much confusion for "el" riders?

I can see the train approach and before the door opens know the three options I have to sit. I take the first available.

There was woman who entered the train and paused to survey the whole car as to which of the many empty seats she would like to sit. She blocked each way so I could not get past her to any of the seats. I have been occuring this phenomenon more frequently with my "el" rides - the confused seat person. This is a new low type of annoying person on my rides.

Sitting by the door was a very petite female-to-male transgendered person (You could tell by the padding under the T-Shirt to hold down the breasts). I felt bad for him when the largest, fidgety man sat next to him.

Great - another seat hog. This time playing a game on his cell phone. Not only playing the game but playing it enthusiastically physically. Spent most of the ride with the edge of the seat in my ass crack. Fortunately at Addison, a full seat opened up which I sat by the window.

I did not finish my crossword by two words. I did finish the soduku.
