Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within
Unenlightened

So I was on the crowded train, yawning incessantly cos I was really sleepy after a long day and an even longer movie. Sitting in front of me was this uncle in his fifties, a little balding and whatever was left on his head was graying. Then abruptly, he got up... and offered his seat to me. I was stunned. But I insisted that he take the seat instead.
The incident left me deeply disturbed. Whenever I give up my seat to someone, it is to someone in need who is defined as:
1) The elderly and the sick
2) The handicapped
3) The mothers - either preggie or with kids in tow
Now now, which category do I fall into then??
The 180 Degree Panorama

So I have the best seat in the house. Right smack outside the pantry, the photocopying room and the exit to the loo, where the human traffic is the highest and where anyone approaching me from an 180 degree spectrum can view me and my PC screen in great clarity. Regardless of their intention to do so, for I am simply thrusted into their faces and their eyes have to take me in unwillingly, willingly.
Many a time today, I have literally jumped out of my skin when someone just stood behind me and started a conversation. I wish I have eyes at the back of my head, like the multi-faceted eye of the fly, so I can pre-empt myself for any sneak attacks. I wish I wouldn't feel so vulnerable, as having my back undefended makes me insecure.
I wish... I didn't have the best seat in the house.
