Light Reading


Whilst I claim to be healthy  all the time it’s more than likely that I will find myself lingering near any bus stop just in case one should happen to pass ‘by chance’.  And today was of course one of those days (it was windy and I was holding a frozen yoghurt- nobody can walk in that).  Now I know that when I take the lazy option I should be willing to put up with the bus craziess, but I don’t know where to stand on this one…
…Whilst waiting for my stop a man stands right behind me and gets his book out, no problem here, he seems like a nice bookworm.  Until he used the back of my neck to prop his book up.  Not my back, not even just my shoulder, right onto where my head meets my neck as if I wouldn’t notice.  I don’t know about anyone else but this was a bit far for me, but because he started laughing and was genuinely enjoying it I put up with it for the rest of the journey (who am I to ruin his Wednesday?) and I am now considering offering my services for other bus travellers. Good business venture?
I ask what you would do in this situation, tell him to calm down and read unaided or pretend like he’s an old friend and bend over?
