Zinged

This morning we left early to get in line for the Eiffel Tower. On the metro had several stops to go through to get there. It was marginally crowded so when two guys in business suits left we took their seats. Just as we did an older French woman got on. After a couple more stops it was more crowded with morning commuters. I had noticed her giving us a dirty look. Then on the next stop she zinged us. She told us no one is sitting when it is crowded and we should stand up. We did! She had to reiterate her point a couple more times even though we listened the first time. When she got ready to leave she told us we could sit down even though it was still crowded. We continued to stand just in case, and by then we only had two more stops anyway. We had to wait until we got off to laugh about it, we didn't want a lecture on why we shouldn't laugh on a crowded subway. :)
