proper bus etiquetteat the beggining i suppose :]
i hopped on the bus today, just out the rain, happy to relax and wait out my ride into Manukau, but ah, my plan was to be foiled by two men that were clearly unable to contain themselves from ruining my morning. once on the bus they proceeded to sit right behind me and begin to discuss thier previous jail sentences, and how one was still on home detention and the other had just got off and so had thier wife. one talked about his 5 children at home and the other talked about his 7 children at home, all of whom they could not support because it was "the governments fault". all the while i was sitting their praying silently i was not sitting infront of two ex-serial killers fresh out of jail.
really, why me?
on my ride home this afternnon, my plan to relax was foiled once more when this rather large man hopped on the bus and sat right behind me, talking loudly on his phone. now this, would have actually been enough to annoy the hell out of me. but, alas, it gets worse. he then proceeded to talk to some woman on the other end of the phone about her 16 year old daughter and her dirty underwear. i know, right? this conversation about dirty underwear and proper toilet behaviour went on for about 10 minutes. i felt like turning around and saying 'really, do i need to be privy to this information?'
i don't know about you, but i dont like hearing aout dirty underwear, especially on a bus, especially when its coming from a large man on a cell phone.
now, i'm pretty sure, if there was a rulebook on how to behave on buses, it would not say "please, sit right behind the one girl on the bus who looks annoyed, and talk about jail and how the government wrecks your lives even though you probably don't get off your ass anyway. and also, if you have time, throw in 10 minutes worth of talk about dirty underwear.
really.
how was everyone else's day?
