Clock

so yesterday i have an hour to kill before my train so head to the station cafe for an over priced extremely weak coffee and sit and watch the world go by for an hour, head phones in, music on.

i'd recommend it, people are quite funny when you take the time to observe them. people who you see walking up and down the place a few times before finally deciding where they need to be... the ones who have to run to catch their bus or train and the disappointment on their face when they realize they've missed it is golden. the cafe overlooks the entrance and to the bus part of the station more so than the trains... one lady comes running through the doors and heads straight to a pacific bus terminal just as she's doing this her bus starts to leave, she runs out the door and tries to flag down the bus but to no avail, it leaves. soul destroyed, beads of sweats running down her brow her reenters he station, clearly pissed off, pauses for a second and heads over to the train station... i have around 30 mins waiting time left.

with 10mins left to departure i head over for boarding and who do i see getting on my train? around 140 mins by train to her destination or about 110 mins by bus, maybe less. an hour late because of a few seconds or more specifically because a bus driver decided he'd be an ass.

a wonder how's she feeling today 😵

Because maybe other people's misery is "seulement la joie de votre vie"?

it must have been the grammar delights of this sentence

'soul destroyed, beads of sweats running down her brow her reenters he station'

i really should start proof reading.

edit: it's buying dividends already.

I love people watching. My recent trip to Disney was the best. I love watching the dynamic of families, picking out the foreigners (and they stick out), observing employees, etc. What better thing to do while waiting?!

I will point out that I saw the least amount of really heavy people there....the ones I did see were on scooters. I have gone to faires here in my area and the people are SO LARGE.

I think people from other countries wear good shoes and dress better in general.

Sorry to disappoint, but I only enjoy other people's misery when I'm the one inflicting it on them.

That lady is probably still talking about the creepy guy that was watching her.
