The Bus

Sometimes I wonder, how can people be so inconsiderate? Do they not think that they are doing anything wrong, or does it just not phase them?

This morning, I got on the bus and sat in my normal spot. I get on early enough in the route so that I have my pick of the seats. Eventually, as it always does, the bus got filled and there was standing room only. Every day, there is an elderly man who gets on the bus about ten minutes from University Station. He has a cane and it is very difficult for him to stand or walk. Well this morning, he got on and there were no seats. The seats in the front of the bus are supposed to be given up to an elderly or disabled individual when they get on. Well there is one young girl we gets on the bus and always sits up there. She refuses to give up her seat for ANYONE. The man had to ask her if he could sit down and she said no. I was outraged. This girl is probably no older than 30 and has no physical ailments whatsoever, and she still would not give up her seat.

I was about to stand up and give the man my seat, halfway down the bus...but then someone yelled at the girl and she moved. Does she realize how bad that looks on her?

Every day people amaze me. Just when you think someone couldn't be more selfish or rude, they prove you wrong.

I had a very nice birthday weekend. Besides the fact that I am a bit under the weather, it was fantastic. My husband cooked dinner on Saturday night and we had my in laws and my dad over. It was wonderful. Yesterday we went to my mom's and then out for the Superbowl. The weekends really go by way too quickly.
