Anyone who has ridden the LRT would say that, during rush hour, the LRT is one hell of a ride.
After the Christmas break I have ridden in the LRT everyday! During the morning people are in a hurry to get to work. Late in the afternoon, people are in the hurry to get home. And it’s just so frustrating how they could be so rude. I have experienced being jabbed, poked, pushed and pulled. People would push their way into the train, pushing everyone aside if they have to. I usually didn’t have to walk; the rush of rude people would just carry me into the train.
Astonishingly, I have also observed that women could be harsher then men. I rarely see men pushing one another just so they could beat the buzzer and get into the train. Also, in buses, men usually give their seats to women.
Oh but there was this one incident that I just have to blog about;
I woke up one morning feeling pretty good because I have had a good night’s rest. I was very positive about the day. When I got into the bus, I didn’t complain that it was not air-conditioned since it was a bit cold that morning. I relished the fact that it was a good morning and I had the cool morning breeze blowing ever so gently at my face. I had my ipod on and I really felt that I was in a music video. Suddenly I saw a boy seating in front me starting to puke. I wasn’t really good at gross stuff so I distracted myself by looking out the window. After a while I felt something dripping on my feet. You probably could guess what that was, right? Disgusting. I called the mother’s attention to it and I squirmed as I couldn’t clean my feet right away.
Ugh! But I decided I wouldn’t ruin my day just because my feet have drops of another human being’s breakfast! Haha! Anyway, this is just one of the most disgusting things that has happened to me! And I think it’s worth blogging! Haha!
I guess I’ll be writing more commuting anecdotes from now on. Sana lang not that gross next time!
