Dear people who find it socially acceptable to curse, swear and make sex jokes on public transit: Can you just, like, not? It’s uncomfortable for everyone around you, especially at the end of the day when everybody’s tired. Paying a dollar for a seat doesn’t entitle you to ruin everyone else’s day, and my four-year-old son doesn’t need to hear you calling someone an “asshole” into your cell phone for not sleeping with you last night. We don’t care about or want to know the sordid details of your private life. What ever happened to a little thing called common courtesy? Or is that too quaint a concept in a city like Halifax? It makes me feel especially bad for the bus drivers. They work hard all day and I can’t imagine the kind of stuff some of them must have to put up with on a daily basis. I’m not the free speech police, swear if you must, but try to remember that not everybody else is as cool with their children hearing it as you might be. Phones have a silent texting option too, you know.

Lack of quality parenting & therefore immaturity, selfishness, stupidity & lack of consideration of others unfortunately abound.. also, it’s cool to not give a shit these days don’t you know.
Nihilism is in.
It could be worse… they could have been using Grindr and wearing a poppy.
I will say what I fucking want to say. You can’t fucking stop me lol.
Ugh, I was on the 29 a couple weeks ago and this couple came on and sat in front of me and the guy kept trying to kiss the girl, it was gross and uncomfortable. The girl was complete trash saying shit like:
“So anyways like it turnt out my uncle was sleepin’ wit her an’ she’s like half his age but his wife seen the texts”
It was just disgusting and annoying all around and people are trash, OP I agree 100%
Ladies and gentlemen… If I could be so bold as to remind you that you are on a city bus. Clearly the OB and my fellow commenters have never been on a city bus, in Toronto, after 7 p.m on Tuesday. My suggestion to all of them is don’t get on a city bus, in Toronto, after 6 p.m. on Wednesday…
