A Stop Too Far

On my way home last night, the Orange Line train I was on came out of the tunnel after North Station and stopped at Community College station. I was standing in front of a woman who stood up suddenly, so I moved aside, but instead of heading for the door, she craned her neck to look over the other passengers and out the window of the train (she was rather short).

She turned to her left and addressed a woman standing next to me: "Did I miss North Station?" The other woman tried very hard not to smirk and replied, "I'm afraid so." The first woman had been asleep and was trying to figure out how far out of her way she'd gone. She quickly exited the train, probably grateful not to have found herself all the way out at Wellington or Oak Grove.
