Bus Etiquette

An open letter to some inconsiderate bus riders:

To the woman who chose to pay her ENTIRE $1.35 fare in nickels. NICKELS!:
Please wait and get on at the end of the line. We don't want to have to wait in the rain while you put your coins in one. by. one. Or then fight with the dollar bill machine because it doesn't want to accept your wrinkly, wet, squishy, half torn dollar bill. Its just not fair to the rest of us SMART PEOPLE with a bus pass or Smart Trip. Its really not. It was raining today, and silly me decided to straighten my hair. Curly, frizzy hair and rain don't mix. Its really not a pleasant sight.

To the man who got on the bus promptly, and then stood at the front of the bus, surveying every open seat before choosing one:
Just pick one! They're all the same! And if you must deliberate over which seat you're wanting to put your khaki'd ass in, you could at least move to the side so all us non-caring types can move by you and take a seat. Preferably the one that you were eyeing. You're holding everyone up- people cant get by you, which means that people are waiting behind those people to even get on the bus, which still leaves people standing in the rain. And then the bus can't move. And mothers and fathers on the bus who want to get home to their kids and spouses start whining. And bad things happen I tell you! So move. Please, please just pick a seat.

That's the end of my rant. For today.
