We've all been there before. You know what I'm talking about. On the SkyTrain during rush hour; or perhaps whilst taking the 145 bus down Burnaby Mountain. It's standing room only so you stand there with your headphones on, in your own little world trying to avoid awkward eye contact with the people around you (and of course trying to avoid having your face in the smelly armpit of the guy next to you) -- when suddenly, the bus stops, jerks even. You try to grab onto the strap, but no luck. You can't keep your stance and go flying backward into the person behind you. You turn around to apologize to whoever you just knocked over. And then you see...him. The guy you've been waiting for all your life. He's perfect. You exchange a friendly smile and all of a sudden you're deep in conversation. You then proceed to fall madly in love and have ten babies. This has totally happened to you, right? NO, beacuse shit like this doesn't happen on public transit despite the myths. I'm just saying.
It did, however, happen to a cousin of a friend of mine (and no, I didn't use cousin to make things sound more legit). Not the madly falling in love part..just the picking up people on the SkyTrain part. I'm not here to dispute the fact that it hasn't happened before (I mean myths have to come from somewhere, right?). All I'm saying is that every time that either myself or one of my friends have taking public transit (whether it be by boat, train or bus), all we see are elderly members of society, moms with screaming kids or inappropriately dressed prepubescent teenage girls with their awkward prepubescent boyfriends. Seriously. So I'll keep the moral of this story short and sweet. Meeting people on public transit -- totally not a thing. ^L
