If you've been reading at all, tales of my foolishness are fairly commonplace. For whatever reason, if I am around something idiotic is bound to happen. It also helps that I am able to find humor in my own misfortune.
Let me preface this by saying the weather here today is complete crap. Not only much colder than it has been the past few days, but also rainy. So, I am sitting soggily on the train today minding my own business. At the stop just before mine, a woman gets on and sits down directly across the aisle from me. She's not unattractive, maybe not a 1, but definitely not ugly. So, I look and smile when she sits down; I'm married but not dead after all. She even exchanges the smile back. When I get up to grab my crap, I alway take an extra look around to make sure that all my stuff (bag, blackberry, workmaterials, etc.) is accounted for. Thankfully, everything was there. But as I stepped back to make my escape to the vestibule and my stop, I heard the crunch of brown paper. As I slowly turned around, I noticed that the large golf umbrella that I am carrying under my arm had managed to insert itself right through the handles of the woman's shopping bag and was nearly poking her in the eye. As I casually tried to right the situation by giving a sorry gesture and removing my umbrella from her bag, the umbrella gets caught on the handle of the bag and I nearly pull it onto the floor. Needless to say, my retreat didn't go smoothly. And yes, I am a buffoon.
Train lady, if you're reading, my apologies for nearly impaling your face with my umbrella. I am not nearly as stupid as I looked this morning. Oblivious sometimes yes, stupid no.

Were you able to get one last peek at her?
Was she wearing a skirt?

You missed Dog Girl, she was VERY cold and it was VERY obvious! She was cutting glass from one inch away!
