The Bus

The bus in NYC gives you an interesting cross-section of the population. You get 'em all.. Poor, Rich, young, old, black, white, Hispanic and Asian. But mostly you find a depressed and depressing people

The bus crawls through the streets which makes you realize that nobody taking it has any urgency to their journey. Taking it today from Park Slope to Bay Ridge it dawned on me how incredibly lazy people are. I counted 5 people who took the bus for four blocks or less. Four blocks is roughly 0.2 miles and these folks who seemed able bodied although they are also mostly full figured. The exact type of people who probably could really benefit from the exercise. The wonder of the bus plays to people's laziness: is too easy and convenient.

But the laziness is only part of my complaint, there is also the fat asses of these people who take two god-dang seats. You paid for one seat, get your extra large ass off of mine!!!

4 blocks on a bus with an ass like a garbage truck, you got to be kidding me.

omg yes i take the bus once a week, usually after a facial or if i work out at 54th equinox. lmfao don't you love my unnecessary irrelevant details? anyways whenever i get on, i feel depressed too. i hate people who don't have a sense of urgency and have no destination. like when i'm walking to work at 8am and the people in front of me are walking so slowly. how can you not have a destination at 8am on a monday morning?! i can't stand that sh!t.
