If you were to take the train for a long trip and all the seats near you would be empty who would you want to be near you?

Asked by Hibernate (9091points) July 16th, 2011

Simple as that. Who would you want to be near you when taking a long [really long] trip.

No one. I have a good book to read and my IPod.

Speaking of long train rides, if she’s good for J.B., she’s good for me. Lol.

My SO. We often take the train when together, and it isn’t always possible to sit or stand together on short trips. He is cute, lets me have the window seat, tells me stories, and is willing to hold my hand.

Someone like Robert Sheehan or Aaron Johnson :) I would be in heaven.

Someone that had a lively personality, enjoyed conversation, but, was balanced enough to shut up and be quiet at times too. lol

My kindle and my iPod touch for the 1st half then Richard Henry, Ryan Gosling, or Benicio del Toro the 2nd half.

Amish people. That way they’d have no cell phones.

You can sit next to me, I don’t have a cell phone either. I don’t need it, want it, and I LIKE not being tethered to a phone at all times. I control my phone, it doesn’t control me. lol

@Coloma You are an ideal candidate as a seat mate! Besides, we’d have several things in common if we decided to chat ;)

I have a loong, bad story about a train ride and a short bad story about a train ride…both involve loud talking on cell phones. I will never forget how awful either experience was.

Someone that I wouldn’t mind looking at. Talking to that person is a bonus.

I find myself on the other side of this question. I’m a questionable being that people might wonder if they wanna sit next to or not…’‘creepy eyes’’

I would want some hippies, my boyfriend, my best friends, and no authoritative dicks. You know the guy. “Hey you can’t do that here.” Yeah, fuck off.

My SO, my Mom or my best friend.

Bellatrix's avatar

My husband. He can read me like a book. He knows when to talk and when I want to just be quiet. (Doesn’t always listen to his intuition though :-D and then he knows what “that look” means).

@SpatzieLover How did you end up dealing with the loud cell phone people? That would have been horrible, but at least unlike on a plane, you could have actually kicked them off the train.

My best friends Gage, Nick, and Marissah.
None of my best friends have met eachother… That would be an interesting trip, considering they’re all crazy. O_O
