I used to ride a “party bus” home from work (a 2.5 hour commute) every night. The screaming with laughter, walking all around the bus, talking loudly across aisles finally made this commuter find a parking space in town at a greater expense.
I’m sorry...but public transportation should not be a shriner’s convention.
Sure sounds like somthing I'd want to do every night. Oh yeah!
:o
You handled it correctly, congrats. I, however, am a fairly gregarious sort, and would have been right in the middle of the noise and laughter.
As far as I am concerned, just living in a big city is like living a 24/7 Shriner's convention.
That's why I don't live in one any more.
I agree that this guy is an idiot. However, as a person who rides a light-rail system every day, I have to have some sympathy, too. My job is located in a terrible part of town where it is dangerous to walk even a few blocks from a parking lot, so I can’t realistically drive to work. The station next to my building is close to an inner-city high school, and the teenagers ride the train home from school. There are large groups shouting and hollering to/at each other every day, including the liberal use of obscenities. It is almost as if they are deliberately trying to terrify other riders. This is in addition to all the people on their cellphones telling someone (loudly) which station they just passed. No system employee ever does anything about any of this, naturally. I’m retiring in six months so there is an end in sight and I will rarely leave my five acres in exurbia.
