tuesday january 14

today i was on the subway when i guy got on at spadina and started frantically asking everyone if our train was going eastbound. when someone confirmed that yes, it was heading east, he said "thank you!" in a was-that-so-hard tone, then proceeded to get off at the next stop. even at that point, i couldn't tell if he hadn't wanted to be going eastbound at all, or if it was just really important that he be heading in the right direction for his 45-second trip.
