regent

so a few days ago, at my train station, a woman was crying as she waited for the train.
upon closer inspection, she was on the phone.

she didn't realise I was there, but she yelled into the phone to the person on the otherside,

"IS IT MY FAULT THAT I'M PREGNANT WITH YOUR BABY?"

amongst other revelations. she hung up and sat in her seat, sobbing loudly.

if someone sat down next to her and patted her on the back, it would have probably meant the world to her.

so why didn't I do it?

was I afraid that she would get the wrong idea? was it because I didn't want to seem creepy? was it because she looked like the crazy cat lady from the simpsons? was it because she smelt funny? was it because she was carrying a suspicious looking suitcase that was probably full of drugs?

all of the above? none of the above?
