She climbed on the bus, obviously having been to the gym and only rode for a single section.
Backpack, bag, ipod and cellphone ... and bus ticket.
Standing room only, so she drops her bag on to the shelf behind the first seat, and braces on the pole.
The ipod is attached to the bag, so she needs to release that ... into her left hand.
Now for the real trick:
With the ipod in her left hand, and the cellphone in her right hand, she delves into her bag, and gets out her purse, opens it and stows her bus ticket into it, returning the purse to her bag.
She then hooks the ipod onto her belt, and turns around to quickly check her surroundings before consulting her cellphone for ... I don't know, a new message?
Thoughout this entire process, she did not release the familiar grip on the cellphone, even though it was an impediment to manipulating all the bits & pieces.
I must be showing my age, but do we REALLY need to spend our lives clutching a cellphone in our right hand? How often have you had to avoid an intent texter as they walk down the street, oblivious to the real world?
