Nothing sharp about the person who lost the Sharpie

I'd like to thank the person who left an uncapped Sharpie pen on the seat of the 5:20 pm train leaving Union for Oshawa Friday night.

I didn't notice it when I sat down.

When I got up at Oshawa and was standing in the aisle waiting to exit, this woman tapped me to tell me about the black stain on the back of my ivory-coloured coat. We both went back to where I had been sitting and found the Sharpie.

I've been told by two dry cleaners that my coat can't be cleaned. Maybe others can afford to buy a new winter, wool dress coat ($200) but I can't. I can't believe someone could be so careless!

    I kind of agree. I don't think someone would maliciously leave a marker on a seat. It was careless, though.

    It may not have been intentional but what happened to checking to ensure you've collected all your belongings?

    true, but again, could have been just a mistake. I agree, it sucks but what can you do?
