Live from the Metra...

I was getting off at my usual stop this morning when I noticed a women sitting down with her birth control pills out of her purse. I thought this was a bit odd. She then proceeds to punch one of holder and dry shoot it into her mouth. I guess if you take the train every day it's a way to remember, but so is when you brush your teeth. I then come to realize that it is a woman I with. I then further begin to realize that she's not a person I ever wanted to imagine naked or worse yet, having sex. I'm glad I didn't eat anything for breakfast today.

Ladies or Guys for that matter, what do you think? Is a commuter train an appropriate place to take your birth control pills? I guess it really isn't that big of a deal in the scheme of things. I mean it's not like she was inserting a Today Sponge or anything. Maybe she was just advertising to the available men on the train her birth control status to lure someone in. Is that something women actually do?

I thought the same thing because my X used to sneak and take her pills. Then later women just talk about and pop those things like it's nothing.

What a wonderful idea. I think its a great sign that you can hit on the girl. Shame you are married.

um..no, it's not an advertisement that she's available. For women who take it, it's just a fact of life, no differn't then taking a vitamin, but alot uglier if you forget...

Odd yes, inappropriate - probably not. No more than a vitamin or the likes.

Michele sent me. :)

OK, first of all, congrats on having the most interesting name at Michele's today. I'm here cuz of the name. Plain and simple.

I used to commute in Chicago and all I can say is that people are strange. Period. No, of course it wasn't appropriate. It's not appropriate anywhere except a bathroom...in her home. Ew.

Hilarious blog. I'll be back. Here via Michele's.

Uhm...yeah that chick is weird. Regardless of how many women use BC pills it's just as inappropriate to take it in a public area as say... popping out a boob, or carrying your underwear in hand or even holding a tampon while strolling down the street.

Fact of life for some yes but dag biatch be discreet!

Hmmmm, well I've seen many things on my train- but have yet to witness that one.

I've created a new category for my blog called "Public Transportation" because I swear, I see the weirdest things on the train.

Came across your blog via BE. I like your style and I'll be back!
