So I’m waiting for my bus, eating my Cheetos (thank goodness Cheetos cover at least two of the major food groups because the only other thing I had to eat today were a handful of Hershey Kisses and even a dedicated junk food junkie like me who is in serious need of intervention could pretend that was real food) when one of the buses pulls up and this blind lady with her seeing eye dog goes to get on.
I play this game when I see her board her bus; it’s called ” How many rude jerks are on the bus today? “Today there were six and this is how I figure it out.
The front bench seats on the buses are marked for handicapped people right?
Well this lady and her dog get on and nobody gets off their butts to give her the seat- and they should for one practical reason. She can’t really sit in the two passenger seat unless she sits her big dog on her lap. That won’t work so he has to sit in the narrow aisle where he can’t help but to be in the way.
Considering the Milk of Human Kindness doesn’t flow around these parts you can only imagine the huffing and puffing and sounds of indignation this woman has to listen to as people have to make their way around her dog.
Anyway, sitting on the bench seats are teenagers and people with lap top computers and a couple of women who purposely look in the other direction as she walks by (hey, she can’t see you but everyone else CAN)
I see her walking towards the back of the bus where the other bench seats are and to the front again and then…
she gets off the bus.
Wow.
I’m not sure if there’s a Hell – but today I’m really, really , really hoping there is.
yup, truely mankind has reached the pinnacle of achievement, everything is on the slide from here on in …
A little dignity man, that’s all we have to do for each other and some people won’t even give another person that.
How hard is it I ask you?
Not at all.
Still…
