MS. CRANKY --- DID THEY PAY FOR TWO SEATS ON THE BUS???

 

Ms. Cranky has been on her best non-cranky behavior lately trying to be forgiving and mellow, like sooo mellow but she can’t help but notice the growth, the preponderance of people now sitting on the outside seats of buses with not a clue to moving in so Ms. Cranky or anyone else can sit.  What is going on and why is this nonsense burgeoning?  It used to be a few people but now it’s often a whole row and they look up at you, when they bother to look up, like you just arrived from Mars as you hungrily eye the empty seat.  If you ask, they might let you inside to sit and Cranky always assumes that means that they’ll be getting off shortly and that’s why they’re letting you crawl over them to the inside seat.  But, no, no, they never get off, they stay on forever so that you, then, have to go ‘pardon me, excuse me, oh, I’m so sorry’ as you stumble over them to get off the bus.

Ms. Cranky vows to stop apologizing for crawling over them.  They’re the ones that should apologizing.  Did they pay twice for the two seats???  If so, they should wear a sign, show a ticket.

How do we stop this quickly growing phenomenon?  Ms. Cranky totally understands phobias, and, yes, someone could have a phobia about being in the inside seat on the bus but she does not think that this is the case.  These people aren’t, most likely, phobic, they’re most likely selfish thoughtless people.  Ouiii, this and the murky weather are getting to MS C.

And how are you??? And, thanks for stopping by, more shortly on the guy who ‘dove’ in front of me on a subway Sunday, then nose-dived into a seat.  But, Ms. Cranky even though the weather is getting to her, spoke up, oh, yes, she did.  More in a few days on that guy and the things she wished she’d said in hindsight.  Oh, hindsight, ouii.
