I was, frankly, shocked when you motioned to me that you wanted to sit in the seat next to me. It was pretty clear that I was on a conference call and had all of the paperwork I needed spread all around in that seat.

While I have always believed that it's rude to make seats unavailable for other riders, I chose a car that always has lots of extra seats. I also chose a seat that faces a wall (mainly so there wouldn't be people sitting across from me listening to my conference call.)

I hope it didn't appear too obvious when I looked around after your request, but I suppose if you'd of looked around, you'd of seen all of the available seats that I saw.

I think the thing that shocked me the most is that it was OBVIOUS that I was leading the discussion of the conference call, yet you decided to get on your cell phone and make LOUD personal calls as you sat right next to me. When you couldn't reach one person- you'd call another.

What was THAT about?

The minute my conference call ended, so did your personal calls and you decided to go to sleep.

Now, I'm not a violent person, but at that point I wanted to punch you in the throat.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Sincerely,

RisibleGirl- who only lead a conference call on the train because of necessity....not because she wanted to.
