I am really short, and that does not help!
Have been pushed twice, once someone had to catch me from falling!

Rob and Swetha,

I believe that many feel the same way that we do. When you get on the metro, people rush in to grab front-facing seats. WMATA should just uproot all the backwards-facing seats and rotate them 180 degrees.

You and I are such similar creatures, Swetha. Always, always must have a seat facing my destination. Otherwise, I get headaches.

Would’ve added another category: The Tourists. But then again, you might not have this particular type on your line for there really isn’t anything for anyone to see in your part of the world! :)

Oh, man… That last line is surely sarcasm’s best friend! ;-)

Limp Calzone already knows that. In his post above, he’s saying that Swatha also would like making assessments of riders in New York City.

Reading comprehension is your friend.

Limp Calzone,

Swetha talked about the DC’s Metrorail (subway)!

You would love making assessments of riders of the New York City subways; Rules and exceptions galore.

I think a lot of people sweat in your area since it is quite humid, so do you sniff near the person to judge whether they took a shower or not?

It was fun reading your observations.
