Cocktails and Records

I didn’t sleep very well last night so was quite tired when I boarded my train this morning. Clearly one of my fellow passengers was suffering from a similar affliction - I found him curled up asleep in the opposite doorway. I let him be, went on into the carriage and sat down with my book.

The sleeper slept on, but didn’t stir when we got to the end of the line at Liverpool Street station. In response, the other people in the carriage, rather than wake or confront the sleeper, attempted to gingerly step over him, eventually waking him in the process.

Oblivious to stares from the gathering queue of people waiting to leave the train, the sleeper picked himself up, smoothed down his clothes, picked up his bag and hopped off the train as though it was a perfectly normal morning.

You have to admire people who can truly sleep anywhere.
