Train Station Nicknames
Since I see 95% of the same people at my train stop every morning, some have earned nicknames based on how they dress or on their mannerisms.
Here's the list of nicknames I have thus far:
-The Player: This way this guy dresses always looks like he's trying way too hard. His glasses are the fancy style gold frames similar to what MC Hammer used to wear, only not as huge in front. They're just very wide on the sides. He also wears his bluetooth headset at all times and knows a ton of other people at the train stop, greeting the guys with the long, intricate handshake-hug-whatsup manner and greeting the women with a,"Hey girl, howyoubeen?"
-The Head-Shaker: The head-shaker shows up at the exact same time every morning carrying the newspaper. Once situated in the same spot he stands in every morning, he then starts his pattern of reading the paper, then folding it down to walk up to the tracks where he looks down the tracks to see if the train is coming. Because the train never is coming when he looks down the tracks, he looks down, shakes his head, sighs and returns to his spot, re-opening the newspaper to fake read it until 30 seconds later, when the pattern restarts.
-Mouth-breather: This woman, sheesh. She pulls her hair up into a ponytail on the top of her head, which effectively stretches her face out way too far. She also never closes her mouth, which may or may not be because of how tight her ponytail is on the top of her head. I always wonder if she when takes the ponytail out each night, if her face then drops into a bunch of folds, sort of like one of these puppies.
-Tiny Foreign Lawyer: This man is no more than 5'1" tall and dresses impeccably everyday. He's foreign and a lawyer because I heard him talking to a friend at the stop one morning. I cannot place his accent. He always walks up to the stop with a purpose, as if he's about to hand someone a summons or object to something. His nickname makes me think he might be a superhero.
-Intern McShortpants: This young man is not at the train station every morning, so it's a treat when he does show up. If he's not still in college, he's only a year or two out. He's very tall but still looks like he's 17. Also he's not upgraded his wardrobe since his last growth spurt because his khakis rarely touch the top of his shoes. He wears a backpack with his suit coat.
I can only imagine what sort of nickname I have from other people's observations. Obvious Lesbian? Casual OfficeWear Girl? Nickname McMakeEmUp? Who knows?
