the individuals on the train were an interesting bunch. in the corner, there was a man scrolling through facebook on his phone, pausing here and there to like a photo. across the aisle sat a woman, clutching a jumbo coffee and bouncing her leg up and down. as the train screeched to a halt, a young girl with big headphones stepped onto the train near them. of course there would be no seats available. i rolled my eyes and planted my feet by the doors, grabbing hold of the seat in front of me to stabilize myself. my headphones blared music into my ears, drowning out the obnoxious sound of the rattling train on the tracks. the thirty - minute train ride to work everyday was becoming obnoxious. i was just getting comfortable when all of a sudden, the train jerked and a hot coffee spilled across my arm. maria was running late, as usual, and had barely made it onto the early train. the pressure of the interview that she was on her way to loomed over her, and she clutched her large coffee nervously. this new job could change her life. she was smoothing out the wrinkles in her shirt when, suddenly, the train lurched forward. the coffee went flying, spilling all over a young girl next to her. the young girl stared back, her eyes wide. \you have got to be kidding me!\ the girl screamed. maria cringed. it was 8:00 in the morning and she had already made an enemy. jacob watched the coffee fiasco unfold and tried not to laugh. he actually felt bad for the young girl, covered in coffee stains. meanwhile, the older woman felt horrible. she dug around in her bag, searching for a napkin to offer to the younger girl. before she could offer her a napkin, the younger girl stormed off, turning with anger. chuckling, jacob clicked to facebook to update his status to, \just another morning on the train.\
