How often do you notice thirsty chicks on mass transit following you, either on the platform or on the train itself? They seem so thirsty for validation that some of them will actually sit across from you and make utter fools of themselves just to catch your eye. And that's all it's for, the attention. In the past week I've had at least three actually switch seats just to be seen better. The gum popping, the leg crossing, and it's only because they can't handle being ignored. Nothing more. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only guy noticing this, but I can't be-- and they're only noticed because they make such an effort to get noticed.
