DOes anyone take the train to work? Do you see (or maybe are you) one of those people who inspects every seat before you sit at it? I watch these people get on the train and slowly walk from seat to seat. Sometimes they'll sit down and then sit there for a minute and get up and then go to the next train car. or somethinges they'll sit down then get up and then move to another seat. Or they'll come into the train car i'm in, stand there, look around then go back into the car they came from. WTF people? All the damn seats go to the same freaking place ! Sit your ass down. Shit!
