Bus fail

[muckefuck]

Can we please make Transit OO1 part of the orientation regimen for students here? Honestly, you'd think they'd never ridden a public vehicle before. Yesterday, we had some idiot announce "This is my stop", walk right by the rear door, and push his way through an aisle crowded with standing passengers and past those just boarding. (The kicker was that after getting off, he proceeded to turn around and walk the entire length of the bus again to get to his destination.) This morning, the young women between me and the rear exit stood around like cows until I actually had to say, "Please push the door open." Okay, so the schoolbus you used to ride had a door that opened automatically; this one is different--as you might have noticed if you'd been paying any attention whatsoever the last couple of times someone got off. Wise up now, kids, before I'm forced to reach for my whackin' stick.

Speaking of fail, I introduced monshu to Failblog last night. I asked what I could find to amuse him and he requested to see me fall from the chair. Why should I do that when I can find shameless gifted amateurs to take my place?

These people are even more annoying once they go to London on their Spring Break and try to go on the Tube with the other 6 million people. Basic observations like "there are 200 people all standing on the right hand side, so guess where you stand?" seem to fail to get in their heads, or "everyone else is talking quietly, so maybe don't talk at the top of your voice about your yeast infection eh?" (I witnessed that one unfortunately)
