Commuters on public transport

Interesting finding . . .

I was on my way home on the mass rapid transport train, and it was towards the end of the journey when the seats were emptied bit by bit. Managed to grab one and share a seat with a Malay commuter. Was smsing some friends when I realised, after raising my head, that at least 10 commuters within my sight vision were female commuters . . .

Flash back to this morning when I was on a bus going towards the interchange. I managed to grab a seat at the end of the bus. That wasnt my intention as being a great atheletic my legs are fit enough to carry me throughout the journey. It's just being courteous, or considerate I would say, to move in so that the new commuters could board the bus. Unfortunately, there werent a lot of people like me having this thought. I saw a man in his 40s, I would say, wearing a tie and shirt and smart pants, with glasses, standing near the exit door. I noticed that because I "squeezed" past him. He was listening to some stuff via sony ericsson phone. Damn, same as mine! Even though the commuters at the front entrance door were squeezing like hell, he still stood there conveniently at the exit door. His hair was neatly jelled. He simply didnt care and didnt wish to care. He alighted at the interchange. He looked like some of those I see everyday at the business district area. He looked like some high ranking managerial personnel. He could also be doctor, who knows? Or he could be just some dispatch staff. To me, it doesnt matter. Fuck-up. Moved your ass to the end of the bus please, asshole. Dont leave the commuters who didnt manage to board the bus to swear at you as well.
