More happenings on the tube: in addition to the earlier post about women applying makeup on the tube, i saw the most incredible one the other day. This woman was painting her nails, standing up, on the train. Fire engine red. Good god. She did a decent job too. Good thing she didn't have this happen:
Yesterday i lost my footing on the train, and fell into someone's lap. Full on, complete fall with my bag in their face, sort of straddling two passengers. They were very nice about it, but the fact was i was the one at fault. I wasn't holding on, i was getting out my reading material, and the train lurched and i teetered, and there was no bar to grab onto, and nowhere to balance my feet. I just fell backward onto some laps. The guy was really nice, but i was mortified and the woman was possibly tying not to scream because i might have smashed her toes in her flip-flops. What do you do? I apologized profusely, but its kind of like "hey, sorry for being such an asshole" and then what? Anyway, the moral of the story is: don't stand on the tube without holding on. Unless the train is so crowded that you can't move and if it lurches the crowd will "catch" you - don't do it. Its not worth the embarrassment or the potential for damaged body parts.
