Okay if you read my last post about being grateful for public transportation but even more grateful for my own car, I had another experience on the bus today that just reaffirmed it.
I was on the bus on my way to the mall and the lady sitting next to me received a phone call. After a few minutes of her talking on her cell phone, a man turns around and starts YELLING at her to end her conversation because it's a public space and all he hears is "blahblahblah" and can't hear his music. She sat there while he continued to yell at her for a few moments until she began yelling back. A girl at the front of the bus started yelling at him to move to a different seat if he is so bothered. He moved but decides that the yelling should continue. Other passengers join in too. Awesome. The lady that was on the phone gets up out of her seat and gets in the guy's face. Because that helps the situation? They continue to YELL at each other until she finally gets off the bus saying "goodbye crazy!!" After all of that, the guy gets on HIS cell phone! What?! At this point the young girl who joined in gets off the bus but then runs back, jumps back on and started screaming at the phone guy. I'm sitting there thinking, I just wanted to go to the mall. She was yelling "erase it now! ERASE IT NOW!" Apparently he took a picture of her on his phone. Geez. Then someone yelled about the police and most of the bus joined in, once again. The young girl gets in the guy's face yelling that he needs to erase it and that he is out of his mind. He chose not to erase it so she starts hitting him. Ah. He takes it for a minute until he starts hitting her back!!! I couldn't believe it. The bus driver stopped the bus and we just sat on the side of the road, with onlookers, waiting for everyone to chill out. People jumped on the older guy and they were finally pulled apart. Somehow the young girl got a hold of the guy's phone but coudln't figure it out so she started to freak out again and once again the hitting commenced. FINALLY he erased it and a younger guy barricaded the old guy in a corner and talks him down.
After all of that, as we're getting off the bus two girls start getting into it with a woman, her teenage daughter and a baby.
Merry Christmas everyone?
In happier news I'll be home in 16 days and I can't wait!

ReplyDeleteMermaid!! Um hi. C'est moi, Camille. Your blog is trop mignonne, I die. So I was thinking of what I would have done in this crazy situation. I probably would have gotten into it with them, filmed it, cried, or just sat there laughing or maybe even all four. You are so lucky you get to be in France! I'm not jealous at all...France seems magnifique. BTW me and G-unit (AKA Gunnar...hahahaha is that his real name?) are best friends. I miss you!! Please come visite moi et ma famille when you get home. We want to see you and here all your stories!! Love you Girl!
