Bus Antics

This morning the bus was 20 minutes late. Of course. And it was made even later because of a passenger fighting with the bus driver. She wouldn't let this combative, very talkative, guy on the bus because he smelled like marijuana. He was all "civil rights" and she was all "I'm gonna call the cops." There were awkward verbal stand-offs. The passenger had a big backpack, which wasn't too well received on a crowed, Rush-hour bus. The driver kept stopping the bus and telling the guy to get off every time he started shouting things from the back of the bus. (He was sitting right next to me, of course.) Eventually the guy quieted down. Sort of. He pulled out a kindle or something and started reading out loud about democracy and oppressive police. When he finally got off the bus 15 minutes later, he shouted, "peace! And legalize LSD!"

ARGH! No more. Can't deal.
