Tales from the Transit Line
Report from the Morning Commute:
Commuters on the Millenium Line broke a world record this morning.
Two separate straphangers in one SkyTrain car apologized for two unconnected commuting etiquette infractions.
Slumped in his seat, a bearded man in a baseball cap and hoodie, stretched out the kinks leftover from slumber, a state, it appeared, he had only recently left.
One of his legs shot out under the seat in front of him and he kicked a fellow passenger.
“Sorry,” he mumbled, sleepily.
Only moments later, just a few rows away, a 30-something, presumably on her way to work, got up at a stop and stepped in front of another commuter in the process of disembarking from the busy train car.
Sluggishly recognizing her slight, in an obviously pre-caffeine haze, she said “sorry,” and paused to let the other person pass.
A witness is expected to submit a record application to the Guinness Book of World Records.
