Underlines and Question Marks
To the guy on the bus this morning who:
a) Sat in the outside seat and forced other to stand,
b) Sat his giant, blue duffle bag on the inside seat,
c) Gnawed on the same apple for 25 minutes,
d) Sat with his legs crossed, and
e) Pretended to work by underlining and question-marking a legal document that was littered with post-it notes…
Way to be considerate?

Should have told the driver!!!! I use to tell people to pay another fare or move their stuff.

People do this because no one calls them on it! I’d bet nobody on your bus even asked that guy to move his bag. People will ride standing up, rather than *gasp* speak to a stranger! I always just walk up to the offending party and say in a loud cheerful voice, so others can hear: “HELLO THERE! WOULD YOU MIND MOVING YOUR BAG SO I CAN SIT DOWN, PLEASE?! THANKS SO MUCH!” I’ve never known it to fail, unless the person was actually too drunk or medicated to realize I was speaking to them. In that case I’d rather let them keep the seat.

Is this also the same person who doesn’t surrender the front seat for an elderly/disabled person?

Sounds like people who love to bitch and complain about everything they encounter…

Just goes back to my comment on the large backpack, people are compleatly oblivious to their surroundings.
