lordy....rant away. its good to let out frustrations!

i was on the subway one morning going downtown, so how packed it was everyone understands. I had my bag on the floor beside me. This lady kept tripping up in my face so I keep moving AGAINST my friend at the door. She keeps coming closer. I finnaly say "excuse me. can you please stop leaning so close."

she replies "well your bag [which is between my friend and my feet] is in the way too."

my comment "where would you like me to put my bag? In the imaginary compartment above our heads?" and I turned my back on her.

which some of us can't afford! so take your head out of your ass Jay!

and it's very heard not to take nutbags like that seriously, I mean is it that MUCH to ask for some peace and quiet?

Well if you cant afford it then you have to compromise by sharing space with others that may not share your belief system of whats rude and what isnt.

Its very easy to not take nutjobs seriously. Unless they actually get violent they are harmless and actually quite funny to watch.

And i do believe it is too much to ask for peace and quiet in any space that is public unless its a library. People by their own nature are noise creators.

The problem is backpacks.

When you get on a bus or subway with a backpack, you are not aware of who's face it's in and whose personal space you're taking up.

Backpacks should be removed when entering a vehicle, and set down or low where most people are narrower than their upperbodies.

Problems like this were much less frequent until backpacks came into fad.

..i'm going to have to agree with Jay lol.

You just have to deal it with it. That's how public transportation is and will be, especially with these continuous labour re-negotiations.

There's no budget for added services...


If you can't deal with the people, then take a car/cab/other forms of transit...

I was living in Montreal one summer and on my first day there, I decided to tour around the city a bit. I was on an extremely packed bus and a guy was standing really close behind me. I thought he was a bit too close, but then I shrugged it off because there was no room at all to move. A few seconds later, I feel him rubbing his cock against my ass. I freaked out and told him to fuck off. Then a big guy gave me his seat and threatened the creepy dude.

Ugh.

You girls just need to lighten up a little and find the positive of each situation
