It is pretty apparent when you get on a train if a bum is riding. There is usually a radius of at least six feet surrounding the said individual. It is hard because you feel bad for the person but getting close can be somewhat nauseating.
On this particular day, however, I was surprised to look around the train and see a man that resembled a bum in the corner of the car. I must have ridden several stops before even noticing. There was some space between him and some others but there were no faces of disgust.
However, what really got my attention a few minutes later was when he pulled something out of his pocket. It looked like a perfume bottle. Calvin Klein to be exact. He then proceeded to spray him self a dozen or so times.
When the scent reached me I was quite pleased. Pleased by the beautiful scent and pleased that this guy knew something about hygiene.
Or knew how to at least cover the lack-of hygiene up.
