If you are standing in the front of the bus, MOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK so other people can get on. Sincerely, —Person With Ass Hanging Out The Door

+1 to this bitch, best one in awhile. I’ve never understood why they do that, as if the convenience of them standing there trumps that of every other passenger trying to get on/off. Furthermore, and this goes for the ones that get on and go right to the back door to stand, why the hell do you people do it when there are available seats to sit in? And I don’t mean there is one seat on the bus next to the crazy, smelly person, I mean the bus can be maybe half full and you douche bags go right to the door at the back and stand there. SIT THE FUCK DOWN!!!! Are you that socially awkward that you can’t even sit next to people????
Hell I will even give a little bit of leeway to those that might actually be claustrophobic, or have a pyhsical ailment that makes it painful to sit, but I have seen it happen with such frequency that it does not explain the young able bodied person I see going to their construction job, or to school etc. I may just start pushing them off the bus as I leave…
THE Brains are bigger and juicier in the back !
You know what Bezzy?
Maybe I have flaming ‘roids.
Maybe I sit all day.
Maybe most of the asses on the bus spill over into 2 seats.
Maybe I’m half-drunk and just trying to focus on not puking on you.
Maybe YOU smell bad, have roaming hands, or just look like an fuck when I try to sit down next to you.
If I want to stand, and get out of your way when you get off the bus, screw you.

ML, Reflecting your comments to insinuate any of them apply to me (I smell bad) is just childish, but to each his own. And hey, if you wanted to stand because of the reasons you list, and get out of my way when I get off the bus, then by all means do, and screw me indeed!
But I did not refer to a person that moves out of the way graciously, in fact I did not say the opposite of that either. What I did do was IMPLY that they are in the way, which would mean they are not coridally moving to the side when you exit.
Furthermore, I actually mentioned I had leeway for those with physical ailments, which would cover your flaming ‘roids, or your stiffness from sitting all day. And hey, I did mention in my example that the bus would only be half full, which to you apparently means all seats are occupied and you must sit next to someone, not like there could be couples on the bus sharing the two seat spots which would then allow for other two seat spots, or at least multiple seats with buffers in between. My apologies for not spelling every single thing out for you, though maybe you would be able to infer some things (guess not).
But hey, selectively respond to bits and pieces of my post that fit your argument all you want, it only highlights that you want to be the argumentative devils advocate, not that your points are valid. Thanks for playing, better luck next time!
there should be a serious study done by transit authorities on why peeps: won’t move to the back, stand in front of the exit doors on sky-trains/buses/subway etc., feel they have the right to take 2-3 seats with parcels etc. Surely it’s more than just ignorance or society going to hell idk
Sardine Transit. In other major cities, people will stand closer to the exits so that when they reach their station, stop, etc….they can easily get off the subway, train, bus, what have you, without having to climb over people. In Halifax, they do it to avoid getting to close to the other transit drones.
citizens: if you leave your caves you’ll meet others that you like/don’t like…hey westcoasttalkshowhost or should i call you robin *sqwack*
martym, it’s the idgaf attitude these days, darn frangled kids.
OP, i definitely agree, I HATE it when people do this. If somebody’s not moving to the back, it is VERY annoying. Being a frequent bus-rider, I will speak up and tell them to move their ass to the back. I really don’t care. Some people are idiots.
another typical day on metro transit, no story here. nothing to read, move along as ocifer barbrady would say.
Bus Zombies need braaiiinns.

Was there a recent outbreak? Why wasn’t I informed?
