tales from a commute
Kokubunji, 2025.08.27
I was out the door at 07:15 as usual when I'm working in the office. But someone hit the emergency stop button and everything went awry. The real problem when that happens is not that the train is delayed 5-10 minutes, but that when you're the first train after a delay, your train gets jam-packed, collecting all the people that are waiting at each station. And so it was today. I had a lady standing next to me who was functionally asleep, constantly doing head nods and swinging her purse into my crotch. A guy behind me was flat out snoring away, and when we got out, a third sleepy fellow almost toppled down the stairs.
Poor Tokyofolk, not enough sleep.
