Have you ever noticed that no matter what it is you are waiting for: the bus, the plane, or what ever, that the one that you are waiting for is always the last one to arrive. This seems to be one of those unwritten, but unshakable Life's law of things that are put there to drive you crazy.
The worst is when I.m on the subway, and have to get to my destination at a certain time, that I cannot be late. It doesn't matter which train I have to take. If there are four track, and my train is supposed to arrive on track one, I can bet money and win, that trains on tracks two through four are going to zoom by. And my train?...It usually shows up late, or even better -- never shows up at all!
Sure they air announcements over the loudspeakers, but unless you have a very good ear for mumblings, you can't understand a word, all you hear is a word here and there and lots of static. This is why I carry a map and the latest routing changes on an app in my cellphone. Otherwise, I would be like those many lost souls that wind up getting lost, if their regular train doesn't show up.
