I don’t for the life of me understand why people decide that the metro transit is their bed away from home. When the bus is packed and you’re sawing logs taking up two seats, you not only look like an idiot but you’re inconveniencing every person on the bus that has to stand. Like this morning, I personally am pregnant and standing on the bus is difficult, especially when its as full as possible, and there is several people dead to the world taking up two seats where I could be sitting.
Go to bed an hour earlier at night, or stay home and sleep, don’t do it when I’m trying to get to work in a good mood. —Fed up

I fall asleep in vehicles if I’m not driving. Can’t help it. My shoulders are also significantly wider than the bus seats, so I take up more space than I like- can’t help it. Sorry, OB.
fed up, this was done last week, were you asleep then and did not see it. or were you groped by someone that was too tired to care about where they caught a couple of z’s. i used to doze off too, it isn’t hard, if you trust the driver, and i did.pull your neck out of the kink you got it in, and welcome to the real fucking world, awake or asleep.
I don’t understand why you don’t just ask them to move ?
What’s the big deal ?
They paid a couple of bucks for a ride & so did you, so if they’re taking up 2 seats ask them to FUCKING MOVE !
I really , really don’t understand ?!?
Shake their asses awake, and get them to move. This is Halifax- the “nicest”rude city in Canada.
It’s been done. ASK for the seat!! Do you actually just stand there waiting for someone to give you their seat??
Rawr is right, wake them up!!
If some pig-ignorant fuckstick is monopolizing more than one seat you are perfectly free to call them on it. This isn’t Mississippi and they aren’t Rosa Parks. Same with asswads who insist on standing when there are seats and blocking the rear door. All they are doing is gumming up the works for everybody, especially on busy routes. And that is a privilege their $2.25 DOES NOT buy them.
Don’t let the free-range rude set the rules of engagement.
HA! Wait till you drop that kid, OP and see how early YOU can get to bed (and how many nights you can get a full night sleep) THEN come back and bitch about people being tired on the bus.
Taking the bus and arriving in a good mood? Arent we asking for the impossible here??
Its hilarious. Sleeping people make my morning. I just don’t understand how they can trust people around them.
31 years ago I came into this wonderful world of ours. I was a beautiful baby. I was adored by all who knew me. My mother adored me to no end. I was an energetic, happy and pleasant child to be around. When a child is born all their family ever hopes for is for that child to be healthy. Alas, I was not so lucky. I was born with a brain tumour, scoliosis, hypothyroidism and anemia. Anemia is the reason for this post today. I go to bed early enough (10pm – midnight) but cannot find the energy to wake up at a reasonable hour but when I do manage to rouse myself I take the bus. And yes I myself have fallen asleep numerous times on metro transit. Granted I never occupy more than one seat but I do doze. So the next time you or someone like you feels the urge to bitch and moan about a snoozing neighbour perhaps you should first think to yourself that maybe, just maybe that sleeping guy or gal CAN’T FUCKING HELP IT!!!
