When I got on the N Train back to Queens, I was pretty tired and was hoping for an uneventful ride home. Instead, this is what I got:
Woman [yelling]: She called you!
Man [not yelling yet, but clearly frustrated]: She called to tell me she was engaged!
Woman: It doesn’t matter! She called you!
Man [yelling]: To tell me she met a great guy who she’s now marrying! WHAT is the big deal?
Woman [almost out of breath]: She. CALLED. you. And you. picked. up.
Man [defeated]: Yes. I. know. And she’s getting married.
It was hard not to stare at the spectacle, and it seemed like everyone else on the train was avoiding eye contact, as once this happened, the two parties broke out into laughter. The arguing couple didn’t seem to notice, though, and continued their argument all the way to 36th Avenue. The rest of us breathed a sigh of relief when they finally got off.
