[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 41017"] 1) I used the Metro to get around Washington for several years. Especially during rush hours, if you miss one train, you don't have very long to wait for the next one. Not everyone's running so late he can't linger for a minute or two for something worthwhile. 2) When people are locked into habitual roles (like "commuter") they aren't at all "themselves" (if by this you're referencing how they are in other contexts, and wearing other clothes). Roles put people into autopilot mode, and pretty much render them oblivious to stimuli that aren't elements in whatever game they're playing until they're too grotesque to ignore. I think that's why streakers who disrupt the final rounds of golf tournaments are so hillarious -- the disparity between the officially sanctioned collective attitude and their caperings is 100 %. :face: [/QUOTE]
