Random situation i encountered today.

I am coming home from work today on the train, and am sitting next to two strangers. Being a fairly observant person I catch a glimpse of the ticket of the guy next to me and see what stop he has his ticket for. Time passes by on the 50 minute train ride and I am listening to my mp3 player while the guy next to me dozes off. The train reaches the stop where his ticket is and he still sleeping. The train continues and he wakes up a few stops later in a panick (sorta).

Should I have woke him up?

The reason i didnt was becasue of the chance I was wrong about what stop his ticket was for and he would be pissed off if I disturbed him.

What would you have done?

I must add, this is a train to and from nyc, most people dont talk, its a pretty cold train. I think most people will reply "yes" in the thread but that does not necessarily reflect what would happen in a real life situation.

You're from Jersey. People in NY and NJ don't usually do that kind of thing (look out for others.) :)

Yes, though I remember a thread where there was a member's gf who was being stalked... the stalker woke her up when she dozed off so she wouldn't miss her stop.
