If you guys have met me in person or have seen pictures of me you would know I am a tall guy. I am about 6’2 and my legs are long as heck.
I ride the bus to work because it is cheaper than driving and parking in the city. For the most part I don’t mind riding the bus but I am serious when I say the bus is like the airlines; cramped with ZERO leg room for us tall people.
One day last week on my bus ride home from work we made one last stop before we get on the highway and one guy gets on. I am not kidding when I say there were about 10-15 other open seats but this guy decides to sit with me. Are you freaking serious? First off I am a dude and dudes should not sit next to dudes on the bus (not cool) and second he saw I was cramped. Why would he not see that and move to another seat? I was so cramped I had to use my left hand to get my Blackberry out of my right pocket. The dude was so close I could have put my hand in his pocket. So not only did he cram me up but he had the balls to take out a book and start reading. Again, are you freaking serious? I can hardly move but you are reading a book. This man almost caught an elbow for that.
So after my 20 minute ride of pain and misery due to my leg cramping up the bus came to my stop. So I politely said “Excuse Me” to the dude who had to sit next to me. Nothing, this joker didn’t budge. So I had to snap my finger and say “Yo, this is my stop and I need you to move now”. I really don’t like being rude but after this bus ride I was ticked off and I was ready to throw down and it would have been game on if this guy would have said something smart to me.
I learned a valuable lesson from this experience. Sit on the outside seat with my backpack occupying the inside seat and refuse to move unless I am the only empty seat on the bus and even then you better be pregnant.
