Books and Headphones...

AM Ride:

Once again MARTA does not fail me by providing my entertainment for the day. Now my trip to campus was actually more quiet than my trip home. As I boarded the train at HE Holmes, I would take my corner seat and open my book to read. And you know that feeling when you feel like someone has invaded your space...BINGO that's what I felt. Seated right behind was a lady (probably in her late 30s/early 40s) leaning over her seat over my shoulder, it was if she was reading along with me. Now grant it I know the book is interesting (hence why I am reading it), but "BACK BACK!" So as I looked back to hopefully see the woman lean back she does the exact opposite. As a matter of fact she proceeds to tell me "Ma'am I wasn't finished reading that page..." REALLY?!?! I guess I had interrupted her flow, my bad!! So what did I have to do, close the book so neither she can read or me!! Why Me?



PM Ride:

Now the ride home was even more interesting....As I boarded the Georgia State station I would be greeted by a female police officer standing front and center. I guess they beefed up security just in case we had a "naked gymnast" of our own. And I kid you not, we didn't have a naked man, but we did have "America's Non-Singing Idol" on board. And sista girl really thought that she could blow...hot air...Even with my headphones she was still louder than my music. And after two threats from the police officer she finally calmed down, well actually she began to hum. But thank God she was getting off soon because I would have literally lost my mind!



So what did I learn today...We can't possibly share reading a book...and...Soundproof headphones along with an ALEVE are a MUST!!

Trust me when I tell I can't make these stories up...#marta-bart-tales
