I don't remember if I mentioned this in a previous post, but the other day, Friday, I think, a woman nudged me awake - to let me know it was time to get off the train.

I'd dozed off and if she'd not nudged me awake - I'd have missed my stop and been late for work.

Nudge.
Me: Whaaat?? (Disoriented)
Woman: excuse me, but I know you get off at this stop, since you do every day - right before me.
Me: Oh, yes, thank you! Thank you!
Woman: no problem.

It was the same woman who had told me to say excuse me two days prior, on Wed. The lady, I'd called a Dingbat in my head...

The Universe likes to surprise me and unravel my assumptions.

Also, this is why I like public transportation and living in a city - when you are alone, you aren't ever really a lone. People got your back and you have theirs. I feel like I'm part of a community. There's always someone to talk to, or to interact with. To watch. To exchange a smile or greeting.

Cities are for people who like people, and as much as I complain? I actually do like people for the most part.

And here my thought was how amazing it is that anyone can fall asleep on public transport! 😄

It wasn't the subway - it was the commuter train. The seats are surprisingly comfortable and I have two to myself. Although I've been known to doze on subways too from time to time.

How cool is that?

That was very nice of her!

I've had that happen to me as well.

I thought so. Also surprising. It has happened before though. And I've done it.
Also seen conductor's do it.

People certainly have layers. And it's good that she noticed. :D
