To the 5 idiots on the bus today:
When an 80 year old woman walks onto the bus and you see she has trouble moving quickly, get out of the fucking seats that are reserved for people with limited mobility. You all just sat there and stared at her like she had 4 heads while she was trying to find a seat. I would have moved, but I was at the back of the bus. I saw one of you get off at the stop after her. Was sitting down so important to you that you didnt notice as she almost fell to the floor? Fuck!

What the hell is wrong with people? A few months I was on a bus and a woman got on with a baby (no stroller), backpack and a few bags. She was clearly having problems juggling everything and yet no one on the standing-room only bus gave up their seat. I did because it’s just common sense. But several capable men and womn sat on their asses while this woman struggled to maintain her balance. I am sorry, but certain people have first dibs on those seats.Come on people! I know the bus sucks, but if you can, give your seat to someone who needs it more!
this is one thing i noticed about Canada. no one gives up their seats. in Russia, if you (being young/visibly ablebodied/whatnot) dont voluntarily get up in a case like that, people around you WILL tell you that you should give up the seat. no matter how crowded it is.but then again, ‘in soviet russia, the car drives you!’
Hmmm, people actually talk to each other in Russia? In the HRM we just whine to our MP’s to create fucking bylaw for everything so we don’t have to talk to each other…. ever.Maybe next time the OP will find some courage to speak up for the little old lady. TALK TO EACH OTHER PEOPLE!
I’m with Kay on this one. The driver can’t force anyone to give up their seats (sadly), so if you see this happening and it doesn’t look right to you, speak up. I think you’ll find most passengers will agree with you, they just don’t want to be the first to say something.
Here’s to the bearded and brim-hatted asshat seated on the sideseat of the 1 Spring Garden a few days ago: You freaking moron, there was a senior who had to stand because because you couldn’t get your lazy stunned arse off the seat. You are a poor excuse for a man, let alone a human being. Remember, you are 40-something now; you’ll be old someday. Shame on you!
