In New York, most subways stay underground. Thus, cellphones have no signal. However, to get to our apartment, the "F" train comes out from underground for two full stops. After a long, hard day, there is nothing better. Why? Well, because someone on the train is bound to find this 5 minutes as the perfect opportunity to pull out their cell phone and make a loud, annoying, call.
Of course they don't talk quietly. Rather, these inconsiderate others scream their life story. The silence of the subway has been taken over by a fiery red haired, overweight, middle aged secretary gabbing to her her friend about why her boss hates her shoes. This part of my story is entirely annoying. I, however, wait with glee. Why?
Well, soon enough, the subway will dive back into the depths of the New York underbelly and completely cut off cell phone signal again. As we go under, my new cell phone friend screams over and over, "I'LL CALL YOU BACK!! HELLO!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! I'M GOING UNDER!... (mutter mutter mutter)." I want to tell my new friend that screaming does not effect the signal strength and that the signal was lost 15 seconds ago. Nahhhh.
A small grin wraps across my face as I return to reading. The subway is once again quite.
This story happens at least once a week. And I. Love. It.
