My inner beast rages immensely until I or the chatty cathy exit the transport. Then I feel much, much better--especially if I can have a beer.

I try to will the person quiet, but it rarely works. Last time was someone blathering on about a "PET PROJECT". "I will do the food and the decorating, you're in charge of the music, that will be your PET PRO-JECT, alright? Don't forget. Music, your PET PRO-JECT." Later it occurred to me that maybe she was actually a cool girl making fun of some idiot mutual acquaintence who says pet project a lot, I don't know, but it didn't matter. I spent the entire time willing a bus to drive through the window of the Gap and run one of us over to put me out of my misery. Actually, this happens much less now that I am unemployed and living in a small town with very little human interaction and no opportunity to spend 2 hours a day on crowded public transportation. Happens to me ALL THE TIME.
