Chance or fate?In a drunken moment, returning from Kilburn to Angel station late Monday night, I rudely snatched a magnetic sticker from Travel For London - one of those informing of the current service on the underground. Dared by an equally drunken co-traveller, I snatched one more, allegedly for him. The stickers are now stuck to the magnetic tube sticker section of my heater.
This happened to be an identical one. Now, ask yourself, what is the probability, in a city of "Good service" stickers, of me randomly grabbing TWO that say "Minor Delays"?
After spending a long morning cleaning the bathroom, the kitchen and the livingroom while contemplating this puzzle (instead of reading another dust-sprinkled article for my dissertation) I have concluded that this was a Telling Incident. Telling Incidents tell you things; in this case that the incident was nothing to do with chance. The clever little stickers decided to jump on me in order to drive home a message.
Message received.
