My train experience

Hi all,

Today I want to talk about my experience in a train. By the way I travel by train everyday from town to Seaview since September 2006. It's a 20 minutes ride. The reason I'm using it, I know everybody knows, they are cheap. Some of my friends think they are dangerous because of the crime that is happening in the trains. I don't argue with them but I think it depends where the train comes from because there are trains that I can't ride also from Umlazi and KwaMashu the stories that you hear about what is happening in these trains are.... let me share one with you;

These trains are always full, I mean packed so there is no space between people who are also standing because all the seats are occupied in the third class coaches. Mind you first class coaches are empty. Some of the people use this opportunity to do their sick games one woman shared that one day she was standing in the train and a man was standing behind her she did not notice anything odd by that until she was told by another women when they were at their station that her skirt was dirty. The silly man had masturbated whilst the train was moving until he ejaculated on her.... c what I'm talking about if I say I will never board those train.

Back to the topic; I travel between Berea Station and Seaview so I use platform 11 and 12. Ever since I started I sit on the same bench nowhere else and I only greet the person that I would find sitting. Then I will open my newspaper and read nothing else. No friends nothing its three years. I've had a couple of disturbances maybe someone is looking for some money because they were suppose to meet their relative and now they are not there. I give but also tell them if they are lying my God is going to take good care of them not in a bad way....

There are regulars in my platform. Two guys who tried to be my friend but did not succeed. They used to borrow my newspaper when I had finished reading it and I refuse point blank. I asked them how much they spend for lunch and both of them proudly told me... And I suggested that they cut their spending so that they can buy a newspaper because I also sacrifice a nice lunch for it. Their argument was, what will I do with the paper? I told them that I would rather give it to the man on the street to roll his cigarrate with it after reading it from cover to cover than them who are going to read sports section but have a lot to say about government without the basic information.

Ever since then they know that they should mind their business and don't interfere with me. Call me any name you like, I board the fourth coach of the train and also sit on the same seat ever since.

Am I boring or what? Please let me know what you think....
