I seem to have mastered it somehow, by accident.

The train ticket people barely ever ask me if I want a ticket. The only time I got asked this whole term of travelling I think is once when I stood up to get off at my stop and the woman obviously realised I hadn't bought a ticket, and she didn't look very happy about it. But it's not my fault if they don't ask me.

I think the secret is at how things work at the subconscious level. If you try to avoid buying a ticket, you end up glancing at them etc and look less relaxed and the will pick that up. I never intended to avoid paying I just go and sit and I'm very relaxed and often fall asleep.

It's almost ridiclous at times, when I get on with a bunch of people right in front of the ticket person they will ask everyone except me. Even more strangely, when I've been travelling with friends a couple of times they've noticed they don't get asked for a ticket when they're with me either.

Anyone else find this?
