Pet Peeves, Part 3

3. When certain people sitting in the back of a bus think it's acceptable to walk to the front before the bus stops, cutting off people who are sitting in the front of the bus at the last stop, for example, on the NJ Transit buses whose routes terminate at Port Authority.

Is there no sense of order in the world? Haven't we been taught, since kindergarten days, that we should get off of a bus or train row by row, from front to back? Possibly, some of us have missed this critical stage of development.

If it's so important for you to be the first to disembark from the bus, why not stand at the front from the time you get on, and let someone else have the seat you took up? Or why not take a seat at the front of the bus? And if none are available, too damn bad. You only have to wait for 30 or so people to get off before you do, and if people stopped clambering over others to get off the bus, they might be able to do so faster.

Heathens, all of them.
