Why are these the only 2 choices? If there was the choice of 'weirdo who falls asleep a bit on your shoulder' I would have gone for that.
I have a serious problem with listening to peoples conversations. They're always so inane, unless they're teenage girls who have INSANE conversations, always really amazing. I don't get to hang around with teenage girls often enough. Anyway.
Yeah, the quiet starer would have to be the one for me, because then I could say 'what the fuck are YOU staring at??', then they'd hopefully stop. If they didn't, I'd probably get up and sit behind them.
Irritating talker... oh boy, totally my hugest pet peeve. There was a woman on the train yesterday who was boring her co worker to death. I presume it was her co worker, because there is no way these 2 people could have possibly been anything but polar opposites outside of work. And I don't care what anyone says, opposites don't attract, they piss each other off and rub each other up the wrong way. Figuratively speaking.
So this woman was hideous. She would not shut up. I don't even think she took breaths between conversation topics, and JESUS CHRIST THEY WERE ALL RUBBISH. She digressed more than I do and she had a massive head, but with a tiny forehead, which just riled me even more. She did that annoying thing where she commented on everything she could see around her, then turned it into a new topic of (one-sided) conversation.
There was a point when she was blethering on to this guy about some woman's hair being bleached so much that it was 'SORT OF GOING IN AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD, LIKE THIS... SHE'S FIXED IT NOW THOUGH.'
The guy looked about ready to derail the train. Bad. I'll take the starer. If he's hot.
