Weirdness on the Orangeline
After watching the second loss in a row by the Mariners to the Nationals. I got on the train to head home. After getting on the Orange Line at L'enfant and a few stops later the crowd on the train had thinned out enough that most people had a seat to themselves including me. Around the McPherson Square or Farragut West stop a drunk looking middle aged woman got on the train. She wobbled around looking for a seat. She looks at me for a second and then decided to take the plunge...right into my lap. She was wearing bar clothes (short skirt, revealing top, and very high heels). I quickly stood up which slid her off of me and sat back down. Throughout the ride she kept touching me with her arm and leaning on me. I just moved so my back was kind of facing her, turned up my head phones and continued to play solitaire on my iTouch. I kept thinking, I only have a few more stops, I can make it. Finally my stop came and I told her I needed to get off. She did not get up out of her seat. She simply moved her legs to the side. I just stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds until I realized if I didn't get going the doors were going to close and I was going to miss my stop and probably miss my bus. So I crawled over her to get off which is what I think she wanted. I fell on her at least once and stepped on her feet too. I was wondering if anyone saw what was happening. I probably would have been laughing if I saw someone forced to crawl over a drunk middle aged woman who looked like she had lived a very hard life. After riding the subway for a year, that was definitely the strangest experience I've ever had.
