Inconsiderate assholes on the bus. There is a guy who gets on the same bus I take after work. He gets on a few stops after me.
He has cerebral palsey and uses 2 canes and has a great deal of trouble getting on the bus. It is easier for him to sit in the first seat so if I am already there, I get up and let him have it.
The other day I did this and some old, ignorant bitch speaking Cantonese as loudly as possible to her husband who was sitting a few seats back yells to him and points to the seat I just stood up from for the guy with the canes. I look at the bitch and point to the guy getting on the bus. She ignores me and her husband and his 5 shopping bags take the seat. All I could do was shrug an apology to the man and shake my head at the old lady staring at me with a smile on her face now. I mouthed the words "stupid bitch" and walked down to the back of the bus.
Common courtesy is supposed to be common no matter what language you speak.
