    To the frigid cow in the front row:
    Mood: 01 Angry

    I swear, some of the people riding the ETS buses are the rudest, most inconsiderate individuals I've seen in a long time. Listen up, those two bunches of seats at the front of the bus? They're marked PRIORITY SEATING, fuckwit. That means that when seniors, handicapped people, or anyone with a baby stroller walks onto the bus you vacate those seats. Park your ass else where. Seriously, people.

    On the way home, an old lady with a walker got on at a stop and not a single one of the people in that first row of seats made room for her. She was about to pull up one of side benches so she'd have somewhere to park her walker, and just as she touched the lever someone sat down right on it. The poor woman ended up struggling into the edge of the last remaining front seat with her cumbersome walker left to sit right in the middle of the isle because no one volunteered to move, thus inadvertently blocking every other passengers' way. The bus wasn't even crowded -- the uptight brunette in the front seat beside her could have gotten up and simply relocated two rows, but instead chose to ignore the senior citizen perched on the seat edge next to her. I wanted to smack the bitch upside the back of the head with my giant hardcover Philippa Gregory novel.

    This was the third time in just a couple of weeks that I've witnessed this show of complete lack of courtesy on my bus commute; twice a complete disregard for a helpless mother with a baby stroller, and then today the incident with the elderly woman. I feel like I'm going to be sick, I get so angry. It's people like these inconsiderate jackasses on the city transit that make the world just a little worse. To anyone who doesn't give up the priority seating when needed: I hope you get run over by a bus.

    I completely support your public transportation vigilantism. I recommend some sort of super hero costume

    Not sure about costume designs yet (who's in for pink spandex?) but can we punish the wicked by smacking them across the face with heavy, blunt weapons of choice? I'm thinking something brick-shaped.

    i fully agree with you.... i hate people who don't follow common bus courtesy. ESPECIALLY on a non crowded bus. that's the joy of edmonton transit... there are so many weirdos/creeps/pedophiles/general rude people.

    i would have shot them all death glares and 'accidentally' hit them in the face with my bag on the way out.
