About ten days ago I entered the S-Bahn somewhere in West Berlin. There was an old couple seating on a four-seat bench, one of those that faces the door. Casually, I sat there. there was a gap of one seat between us. The door barely closed when the couple stood up, and moved to the next bench, also a four-seater which they shared with a local girl.

I should have written about it right after it happened. The only reason I post it now is that I promised myself to write about these incidents. The worst humiliation is to think that these incidents are normal and that I should get use to them.
