When I'm on the train or bus, I secretly peer over the shoulder of the person in front of me to read some of the newspaper headlines or to try to read some of their book.
Yeah I do that a lot, usually when I haven't brought anything to read myself.
When you have the serendipitous circumstances to be positioned directly behind someone reading on the train and you can just peek through the space between the seats and catch the middle of a sentence in the middle of a page in the middle of a chapter in the middle of a novel, it's a great thing.
In a dark dark town
There was a dark dark street
In the dark dark street there was a dark dark house
In the dark dark house there was some dark dark stairs
Down the dark dark stairs there was a dark dark cellar
And in the dark dark cellar
Some skeletons lived.
Yeah I call it newsdropping. I haven't looked over someone's shoulder but I have read the front page of a paper while someone's holding it up to read it
I would like to do that but I'm too short. I like feeling as if i'm a spy and need to be stealthy and you read over a stranger's shoulder but I've only managed to execute this on my younger and shorter cousins/ siblings but the fact that they're not strangers lessens the excitement.
