Head down, headphones on, making music on my phone, I completely miss my stop - not by a little, but by three stops.
I get off the train with a curse, but after I calm down, I notice an employee at the liquor store I frequent standing on the platform to go back uptown with me.
We exchange pleasantries, both of us friendly enough, but when the train comes and we get on together, I decide to head things off.
"Don't feel you have to make conversation if you want to listen to music or whatever," I say, and with a grateful smile he reaches for his headphones.
