There was a man on the tube behaving rather oddly today. He was slumped reading the paper yet his legs were open. This is not particularly unusual but he had an annoying habit of swinging his legs open and shut with some vigour. It was clearly an attempt to look relaxed in a carriage consisting only of commuter ladies but he appeared seriously unhinged. Incidentally he got off and then promptly sprinted up the stairs. I put his excessive leg waggling down to boyish boundless energy. He was also a strange mixture of old and young: he looked about 15 but he was clearly some city banking executive in his late twenties.
Public transport is a ripe for encountering people who act more unhinged than usual to make you notice them and feel progressively more uncomfortable. I'm sure
Annie Mole documents this better than I
