I don't know if I just have a friendly face or something but I got on the train (with seconds to pass) sit down in a 4x4 that was available but it had someone sitting on the other seat (I can't sit in the 2x2 seats because they're too tight). And my seat mate couldn't stop talking to me.

She was very lovely and spoke about her kids and such, but I just wanted to listen to my podcasts ๐Ÿ˜”. I'm too nice for my own good ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Maybe they were lonely...

It's certainly not always easy navigating the boundaries of what each person needs

Oh yeah. I mean I was friendly and replied. She was sweet and had an interesting day. But yeah I'm just like ugh wanted to listen to my podcasts haha.

I did show her where the bus replacements were.

You can always threaten to eat them. After all, you're a shark.
