Fun at another's expense
I was riding the Brown Line this morning, in my typical daze, when the train pulled into the Quincy stop. A woman got up to leave the train, and I noticed something very peculiar: the fly (or whatever the girl version of a fly is) on her fancy dress pants was wide open. I looked for a second, because I wanted to verify what I had seen.
Right about this time, she looked down, saw the same thing I saw, freaked out and instantly covered herself with a plastic Walgreens' bag. I giggled for a few good seconds. I wonder how long it took her to fix the problem?
I always get a good laugh out of open flies, mostly because that is the sort of problem I have on a far-too-often basis. I guess I take comfort in the fact that somebody else, who apparently is much more well put together than me, can encounter the same problem and not notice it for the duration of a ride on the elevated train.
Call me a perv if you must, but I was thoroughly amused.
