People Watching.

So how do you spend your time whilst travelling on public transport ?. Someone we know tries to work out peoples occupations from the way that they look or dress. Is that bloke with the bald spot and the long greying hair who gets off the bus at the local college a lecturer, mature student or maybe the cleaner. Is the woman in the grwey suit carrying a briefcase a solicitor, or maybe she is off soliciting. The smartly dressed girl with the bouffont hairdo could, of course be a hairdresser and the bald bloke in the corner listening to heavy metal on his MP3 player could be a security gaurd going off duty. And what about the seedy looking gent in the anorak sitting in the back seat of the bus. Whats his story, council worker going to work as a cleark in a housing office or a trainspotter heading for the local station to await, with baited breath, the coming of the 7.45 to Paddington.

But always remember, while you are watching and trying to identify them, someone could be watching you and trying to work out what ypou do. in fact, perhaps thats what everyone who has to spend time on a bus or train does to pass the time, and you can bet more times then enough they get it wrong.
