On board, almost

There are two types of people in this world: Those who stand on the edge of the platform, longingly looking down the line for the subway to arrive and those who stand aloof, almost apathetic against the wall, indifferent to when the subway meanders down the line. I am most definitely the former.

And we can infer a lot about people from where they stand waiting for the subway. Those who pace along the edge, turning around obsessively to see if the train is coming - those people are anxious to get where they are going. They don't want to be late. They are punctual, they are Type A. Or they're high on crank.

Those who stand back, patiently waiting for the subway - they are laid back. They take things as they come and take them in stride. They are Type B, they are calm. Or they're high on grass.

you are inferring that YOU are type b? that is laughable and a half.
