Open Letters: People on the Train
Dear Weird Guy:
Yes, I was sitting in “your” seat with my bag on the seat next to me. No, I couldn’t believe that you actually asked me to move my by so you could sit next to me. The reason I looked you dead in the eye and said, “Really?” was because there were (a) two seats across from me, (b) the quad of seats behind me and (c) two quads of seats across the aisle, all free.
Of course, if not getting “your” seat throws off your day that much, all the power to you. Enjoy.
Hugs.
Nicole

Dear Sleeping Lady on the Other Side of the table:
When you get on the train and the two seats across from another person are free, the unspoken etiquette rule is to sit diagonally across from the person there. That way, we can both stretch our legs out and we both might be able to walk when we get to the last stop.
Instead, you’re sitting across from me, snoring and you obviously didn’t brush your teeth this morning, but you had time to put on makeup? I don’t want to get close enough to you to find out if you put deodorant on – all the more reason to sit on the diagonal from whoever is there first.
Smell you later,
Nicole

Dear Guy at the Train Station on his Crackberry:
I would really like to know who you talk to at 6:40am every single morning. Once in awhile, I can understand, but who the hell is awake at 6:40am every single day to talk to you? And such language! My delicate ears, they burn!
Don’t fucking swear,
Nicole

Dear Considerate Man on the Canada Line
That ankle looked like it hurt and it was great the woman next to me gave up her seat for you. That alone would have made my day, but the fact that you made the effort to say, “Have an awesome week” to her as she exited made it even better.
Cheers,
Nicole
