Rain ponchos and gardenias

Today as I entered the el station, I saw a person on the landing of the staircase, who looked to be in the process of pulling of a blue plastic rain poncho. I thought this was odd as there is no threat of rain today. As I got to the landing I noticed (along with the guy climbing the stairs with me) that in fact this person was not pulling off a rain poncho, but rather standing stock-still with a rain poncho draped over his or her head. I have no idea what was going on, but the air was suffused with the smell of gardenias (or perhaps ylang-ylang).

Related? Who knows.

Both were pretty unusual occurrences, but I'd have to say people behaving erratically is much less unusual than the train station smelling nice.
