I Take Public Transportation

Note: This is not a deep or meaningful story, just sharing for a lighthearted lesson I learned earlier this week.

Everyday, I take the train to get to school. On the train home, I had fallen asleep almost immediately. It was a very sunny day outside, so I was wearing sunglasses. I had not taken off my sunglasses before I fell asleep. About 5 minutes later, a stranger woke me up on the train and asked me if I was doing all right. Groggily, I responded yes, I am just tired. The woman proceeded to tell me she was glad because she thought I used drugs. Apparently, they thought I was entering a drug induced sleep on the train because of the fact that I was wearing sunglasses and completely knocked out. So note to self and others, try to not wear sunglasses on a train that goes underground because strangers may think you're a half-dead drug addict.

I used to work on NYC subway as a conductor and I saw many drug induced addicts with or without sunglasses. Your post made me smile, thank you.

Well you see man, when I am just being woken up from a nap of any kind, my brain does not function. Hence, why I barely responded. I'll keep that in mind though if it happens again.
