He then started noting the time the train came through, every afternoon. Turns out, the train was only "late" about once or twice a week.

We only notice, that which doesn't meet our needs or expectations.

One of the greatest lessons I've ever learned.

IMO same reasons the don’t put clocks in clinics/doctor offices, we have no clue of time without reference.
