Concerning an incident on a metro transit bus this afternoon, the bus was late, we boarded and sat down, a woman got on and was asking for help, no problem, but it was taking a while, on behalf of myself and my partner and others who might need to make connections i exclaimed, 'the bus is already late', a few seconds later a woman called me an asshole for making that statement, my immediate response was 'fuck you bitch', and rightfully so, if I was an older person who made the comment because I was concerned about making a connection would she have called me an asshole?, i doubt it, her response to me telling her off and calling her a bitch was 'i think he's nice for helping her', i don't disagree but that's not the fucking point you idiot, yes the bus driver was being nice, but his job is to drive the bus, hence the title bus-driver, his responsibility is to keep a schedule and he wasn't doing this, all i did was remind him that we were late and waiting, sensible and certainly not deserving of being called an asshole, you obviously do not know me, if you did you would know that i am a nice guy, i share and i care, it's only when i am met with such ignorane and rudeness that you displayed that i get angry, and unfortunatly in this culture i encounter a lot of it which is why i am leaving Canada to live in a friendlier, more considerate society, i am literally sick and tired of dealing with idiots like you, although I did enjoy shaming you and the other idiots i've dealt with, but it mostly just makes me sad.

In short, the bus driver was being nice but irresponsible, i was being sensible with a stern tone, then you took it down to the level of name calling, grow the fuck up, i hope you think before you speak from now on, what if i was a crazy lunitic, calling a person an asshole can be a dangerous thing these days, smarten the fuck up before you get hurt.

I write this for you to try to help you so that you don' t make the mistake of calling an actual asshole an asshole someday because an asshole might do something to you and yours

PS. that hat and jacket you were wearing in a vain attempt to be stylish wasn't working, better luck next time, intelligence and healthiness are sexy, work on it
