one woman on the bus was complaining on the phone that her food stamps got reduced by the government.

one woman on the bus said she got a full time job and she phoned her mom and told her mom to take a tik tok video of her cutting her EBT card with scissors.

Most statements I overhear whenever I'm on a bus have little to no meaning on the bus I am on.

Fellow passengers I see usually are on their phones, looking out a window,
are homeless, or having a nasty attitude that I avoid with one example being adolescents of the world of now who IMO are more competitive now in comparison than when
I was an adolescent myself for the majority of the 2000s.

last week one boy was talking to another boy on the bus, way too loudly. then boy number two got off and boy number one stayed on.

that boy had the nerve to drink alcohol, and throw garbage out the window. then he talked to some other passengers. he said something to me and offered a handshake. i didn't want to but he really wanted it so i did.

then when i was trying to get off the bus, the boy had the nerve to ask "where are you from", and i didn't answer, but he was blocking the aisle and i couldn't get off the bus. "leave him alone", someone told him. "he's a chinese spy", he had the nerve to tell me.

he was acting friendly enough but i was trying to get off the bus. and i hate hearing loud noises, esp idiots talking too much and too loudly.

I use to take the bus all the time and heard all kinds of snippets of conversation.
Some times the snippets can be very surreal when heard out of context.
:oops: Sorry I'm off topic. I just thought this was such a great idea, shortfatbalduglyman.

a couple years ago, (before coronavirus and mask regulations), i was eating "chinese turnip cake". i was only eating a couple pieces for a couple seconds, when a rude lil teen boy had the nerve to tell me "that sh*t stank, bro". and i put it away, b/c i didn't wanna argue with him.

that self righteous lil boy acted like just b/c he didn't like the way it smelled, i was violating his stupid lil "rights". but nobody has a "right" to be happy @ all times. besides, since it was chinese turnip cake, a chinese food, that "Americans" are not really that familiar with, maybe it was "racist" for him to tell me what he had the nerve to tell me.

_________________________________________________________________________

today @ the bus stop, one woman was eating chow mein (there was a chinese restaurant next door) and it smelled good. maybe i should've told the woman off, for failing to offer me some!

A woman on the bus had the nerve to say "hi, china" to a Chinese woman and the woman smiled

It's weird - that's not "racist?"

yesterday, on the bus, on the way home from work, bus quiet.

yesterday @ work. overheard:
supervisor angela w had the nerve to say that she did (something) with her Homer Awards. (plural). i couldn't believe that stupid lil girl got homer awards. home depot "should" have made that stupid lil girl redundant a long time ago.

ASM Smith said that one of the servants cooked some food for the staffers, smith ate some, and she didn't like the way it tasted. (managers are not supposed to be in the breakroom, but ASM Smith "hangs out" there and flaps her stupid lil trap @ servants too.)

on the bus some idiot was talking way too much and preventing me from relaxing.

he asked some women if they drove. he said success depends on self discipline.

some cockroaches just talk too much.

they act like every thought and emotion that goes thorugh their heads is the latest greatest scientific invention. then when i try to say the slightst thing, they have the nerve to half listen and grunt "huh" and "what" like they are the etiquette equivalent of "excuse me".

those lil insects do NOT dseerve to be called "people"!
