About a year ago, I was coming home on the BART late at night and witnessed what most people would characterize as unusual behavior: A young man was animatedly acting out two sides of a conversation. There was no one else in that particular car except me, and I immediately felt uncomfortable.
He occasionally looked over at me with a stare that said, “What’s your problem?”
Or it might have been: “Why are you eavesdropping on my conversation?”
Or…perhaps it was: “This is a conversation between A and B, so why don’t you ‘C’ your way out of it.” He, of course, was both “A” AND “B.”
Had he actually said that, I would of course have said, “I would be ‘D’-elighted.” and moved to the next car on the train.
I witnessed this man do this on seven or eight different nights in the space of three weeks.

great story and balls; yes, you had balls to track this guy down.
Ha, thanks, Kevin.
So funny, but yet I was sitting on the edge of my chair!
Thank you Bay Area Brit, we’ve missed you.

Aw, thanks, Christine.
Ha! Good one, and I’m really glad you did not have words with a murderer!
Yeah, that’s definitely not on my bucket list. Thanks for reading, Amy Jo.
