a-hole bus story

Jan 31, 2005 08:59

This morning we got a pretty full bus. I went straight to the back and this guy was sitting between 2 empty seats in the back row. I sat in one and turned to him and said "would you mind scooching down a seat so my husband can sit there?" which I thought was very polite ( Read more... )

Hard to say. Maybe just not a morning person i guess.

Or maybe I'm just not a morning person and I was being too sensitive. *L*

No more rude than the 2 teenagers sitting on my bus on the way home today who could have cared less that two very elderly asian people got on the bus last minute and were trying to find a seat. After they passed all of us in the front and they did not get up (along with other people who were definetely younger than myself) I got up and offered my seat to the lady.
Now that's what I call rude.

Nothing burns me more than people who won't yield seats.

He wasn't rude and neither were you. What was he supposed to say..
"thanks for telling me to move over?!"

He could easily have said no

He could have said "sure" "noproblem" "I'd rather not" ... any of these would have been fine.

"whatever you say" just seemed like I was bossing him around. Which I wasn't.

If you made him stand, it would be rude. But scooching over is not an unreasonable demand.

Plus, my use of the word scooch is the sweetest cutest word I know to use when asking something like that. *giggle* Oh well, he was probably just cranky.
