Diddly dee dee

There was a girl on the tube this morning who was clearly struggling to stay awake and failing. In order to stop herself dozing off, she decided it would be a good idea to set her mobile phone alarm to go off every minute or so. Loudly. It worked....for her. Every blast of the alarm brought her jerking out of her doze, but it only took about three minutes before I and, by the looks of them, everyone else in the carriage wanted to seize that phone and drop it down The Gap. And that's the polite version. I was strongly tempted to find out her destination and tell her I'd wake her when we got there.......and then 'forget'.
