Predict Me This

22 January, 2011 - 10 Comments by Marco Fiori - One A Day

So it turns out I’m a psychic. Earlier this week I continued the ‘Reasons To Hate The Tube’ blog series and talked about the pettiness that accompanies armrests. Yesterday I had a mild encounter with a woman who asked me to shunt off one. Granted she only had access to one, but with the other to my right already taken, I was already comfortable.

These things happen. I wasn’t imposing on her personal space and there was plenty of space left for her to position her arm. Still, it’s never that easy and she wanted the whole thing. I impolitely told her it was only an armrest and to shove it. You could tell it was coming – when she got on the tube she looked down at my longer-than-most legs with utter disgust as if I was imposing upon her royal highness’ being.

I have a novel idea for another blog series to go hand in hand with the usual posts. It’ll be a paragraph accompaniment with the aim of getting the wonderful people on Twitter involved. I’m going to highlight once a day why an individual is worth following.

It may as well be a chronological account that’ll hopefully replace the redundant Follow Friday.

Expect a couple photo One A Day entries coming up. Contrary to what was written, I’m really enjoying OAD at the moment and am going to try to go for the whole stretch. Japan will be difficult, as will Italy in the summer where there isn’t any WiFi.
