This lady went up to a guy who was sleeping and set 2 bags of Bugles and 2 bags of sunflower seeds on the table in front of him and just walked away. When he woke up he had a definite WTH? look on his face.

This dude gets on with a hard sided suit case and two freebie canvas grocery bags. He removes his coat and scarf - not entirely odd, but the trip is at most, one hour. Then he removes his sweater - getting comfy are we? He settles into his seat, clad in a smart looking red and blue striped golf shirt. Out comes a water bottle, retrieved from the suit case which contains ONLY water bottles. From one shopping bag he pulls a news paper and some headphones - the other contains an old sock. Within the dingy tube are a seemingly important pair of nail clippers - and a baggie of grapes. Looks like he has everything he needs.

Oh my gosh. This guys takes his shoes off EVERY DAY and his feet reek. And I mean REEK. They smell like funky Frito toes mixed with day old sweat and the hot, damp smell your laundry gets when you forget it is in the washing machine.

Stop staring at me with your mouth hanging open.

I love this time of year on the train. Everyone is trying to squeeze in their remaining vacation days that their employers denied them for lame reasons earlier in the year, so there are hardly any riders. That means I can do homework without people interrupting me with the question of "What are you working on?"

Guy with his face flat on the table in front of him, like a kid would press his face to a window, smashing his lips against the table and licking it.

So this guy got on this morning. I apologize for the blurry photo, but it was hard to snap a picture while standing on a bumpy, crowded, rush hour train. He didn't belong to anyone. The conductor said he just kept hopping on and off at different stops.
