*Middle-aged white man (MAWM) who looks much older than I assume he is sitting on train. Wearing a "Phat Farm" coat, which I could not get over. And a fuzzy, dirty "Elmer Fudd" style cap, but not checked -- totally covered in fur. This is all making him sound funky and hip. He was neither. He was gross and most likely purchased all of these items at a yard sale or thrift store. Again, not in a funky/hip way. More like in an old way. Anyway, he coughs.*
*[Younger] man (YM) sitting in front of him speaks*
YM: "Dude, cover your mouth!"
MAWM: *grumble* "I did!"
YM: "No. You didn't. Fourth time, man. Fourth. Time."
MAWM: "Oh, like you can see me with your back to me?"
YM: "I can in that reflection in that window right THERE!"
MAWM: "Oh, right."
YM: "Unbelievable."
MAWM: "There's no laws saying you can't cough on buses." [note: we were on a train, not a bus. But even so, his point was stupid. It's not about laws, it's about common courtesy.]
*friendly woman sitting across from YM asks a question.*
"Would you like to switch seats?"
*My thoughts instantly went to, 'WHY would you want to sit next to all that?!' Apparently she's nicer than I am.*
YM: "Naw, thanks. I already got the swine flu from this one."
*YM switches seats when people exit train*

Uh, YEAH, I GUESS it was nice of her to offer to switch, but WHY??? would be my question, too.
He sounds like a pretty funny guy, though. "I already got swine flu from this one"--HA!
