To get to school everyday I have to take the train for about thirty minutes. Sometimes this trip is totally uneventful, however there are also days where it is the most entertaining thing that I experience for the next eight hours.
For instance, yesterday, there was a rather old man sitting there with hair growing out the tip of his nose. Not the nostril. No, it was the nose surface. Just a little tuft of white hair. He was discussing Harry Potter with the elderly man sitting next to him, and they both had so much of the story wrong that had to suppress laughing. Another day I was sitting there and in the course of thirty minutes I saw three different disney character tattoos, all on men. One of those men had dreadlocks. One night on the way home I got on the train with a whole load full of people dressed in animal costumes. I can only hope that they were going to a themed party.
There is one man who seems to be a regular on the 7 a.m. train. He sits there wearing the same short green shorts everyday, with the same sweatbands, and the same running shoes. He really quite overweight which makes the whole thing rather funny. On top of this seems to always be reading a Star Wars novel... yet he appears to be making no progress with it since he is always in the middle of the same book. It's bizarre.
Overall I am quite enjoying my morning people watching, although my original plans for reading on the train have become more of a funny joke between myself and I.
