My boss (Anne) and I took Amtrak up to NYC for a client meeting on Tuesday. Wanting to be able to do work during the hour and a half train ride, we sat in the Business Car. Anne opens up her laptop and starts working on a project, and I take out some files for review, not paying much attention to the other travelers.
Anne leans over and whispers in my ear "What is that girl doing?!" I look across the aisle, and this young professional has a hair-straightener plugged into the outlet (where most business travelers plug in their laptops), and she's smoothing out her coif.
At the same time, there is a youngish businessman sitting directly across the table from us. He's on what seems to be a very important phone call, until we hear him lower his voice and say,"I'd like to reschedule my facial appointment."
Anne types something on her laptop and tells me to lean over and read it:
"I think we inadvertently sat in the Grooming Car."
