Say Sorry

So, I'm on the 5 train and it's very crowded because it's 5:45 PM. We all know that's rush hour, everyone is just trying to get home or to the gym or wherever they're headed to.

Here I am holding onto the poll with my napkin, because I'm a germaphobic, yes, I can admit that. Anyways, so the doors open at 86th Street and like 20 more people squeeze in. Really? But that's New York for you, "MAKE ROOM PEOPLE", someone yells.

Tell me, why do people huddle by the door and there's all this space in the middle? I'm just curious, why 15 people are all clustered by the door, but refuse to move in the center where there's plenty of room. Okay, that's one issue, so I'm listening to my iPod until this person steps on my right foot. Ooouch!!! I scream out loud. Everyone starts staring at me and the person who stepped on my foot keeps on reading their NY Times like nothing happened.

So, I decide to tap them on their shoulder, "Say Sorry!"  They're a little shocked because I guess they thought I wouldn't say anything. "Sorry" the person responds. And I say, "that's all I needed." I proceed to get off at my stop and go about my day.

Lesson for the day, I'm quite aware that the person didn't intend to step on my right foot, but it's the principal.
There's nothing wrong with having manners, right?

Get home safely everyone.
