If you've ever ridden on a train, you know how peaceful it can be. The sway of the train on the tracks and the rhythmic click clack of the wheels is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long day at work. That is, if another commuter on the train isn't interrupting your otherwise peaceful experience.

One commuter recalls seeing a woman closing her eyes on her way home from work. The man sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and began carrying on a rather loud conversation with an obviously concerned woman. How the event unfolded is hilarious. Be sure to read this to the end.

The man's conversation went something like this. "Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train."

"Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting. It was with the boss and not the blonde from the accounts office."

"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart."

Fifteen minutes later the woman trying to relax next to him had apparently had enough so she leaned over and said into the man's phone, "Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed."
