The 9-5 grind lends itself to seeing the same people over and over again during the commute. I've seen the same dude reading "Gone with the Wind" every day for the past week. Besides being shocked that anyone over the age of 22 would actually read that (college classes, you know. I was supposed to read it, but typically rented the movie instead and barely got through that), I'm also a bit disappointed that he hasn't gotten very far.
