To stand, or not to stand.
I always contemplate whether to sit or find a seat during my peak-hour tram rides. Standing makes it easier to exit when my stop arrives, but other times, my heels get the better of me and I long to sit down.
I tend to split the difference - stand in the morning, sit on the way home in the evening.
One morning last week I decided to eschew my own advice and took a seat that became conveniently vacant next to where I had been standing. Within moments I knew I'd made a huge mistake. The person sitting next to me was fast asleep and leaning against the window. But then the tram sped up slightly and unsettled the sleeping man enough that he moved away from the window and started to lean towards me. He was STILL ASLEEP and about to rest his head ON MY SHOULDER! What the F?? Buddy, I'm not your freakin' pillow. If you're too tired to live - stay in bed and get some sleep. No one wants to spend their morning commute terrified that they're going to rock up to work with someone else's drool on their clothes.
