Phone

Everyone has an electronic device. Portable entertainment. Adult babysitters. Anyone with one is quiet, sedate and unassuming on the train. Little microcosms of oblivious citizens not experiencing their world around them.

Very little can get these people to look up from their kindles, phones and laptops. I wonder how much one could get away with. I could start pole dancing and I doubt more than three people would even notice.

Granted I am not going to try. But hypothetically speaking. You know. 

It's Friday. Everyone gets a pass on their bad behavior. I just want a beer, and I want to put my feet up.
