One of my favorite games to play in the morning - especially on a Monday morning - is the Going To or Coming From game. Basically, you spot people and decide whether they were going home to get ready for work or if the were coming from home to go to work. Dead giveaways are:
Smeared mascara/eye makeup
Bloodshot I've-been-up-all-night-drinking Eyes
Nylons with runs in them
Carrying their high heels and standing in stocking feet
Swaying and lurching when the train is stopped
Anything that was designed to look better in dim light.
Bar clothes.
This morning, as I was standing on the platform waiting for my second train to come in, I noticed a rather pretty girl standing, swaying, looking absolutely immaculate...hair that was done up, more eyeliner than I thought as possible for 7:37am on a Monday, a long, cream colored coat (the kind you wouldn't wear everyday for fear it would get dirty) and a black satin clutch. I couldn't see her shoes or what was under the jacket (it must have been short, whatever it was) and she had this over sized flower in her hair. I had the overwhelming feeling that if Lady Gaga started an Army, it would look like this girl.

PS - I have (knock on wood) yet to do the walk of shame on the train....
