Sunday evening, I was coming home on the A train (after a visit to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
adrian_turtle. I was sitting and reading (using my PDA, an iPod Touch). The car was moderately full; there was one empty seat to my left, and two young men were sitting in the seats facing forward to my right, and chatting with each other and a couple of their friends who were standing nearby. I wasn't paying much attention to them, I was reading.
Then the guy sitting to my right pointed at my PDA and said "Let me see that." I said "What?" He repeated himself. I said "No," and then slid left into the empty middle seat on the three-seat bench. The "let me see that" guy urged one of his friends to sit down in the seat I'd just moved out of, but he didn't. I went back to my book. A minute or two later, they all got off the train at Dyckman Street, and Mr. Let-me-see-that said something like "See you around" as they left.
It left me wondering "Did he really think that would work?"
