Bus Sagas - Getting to work can be rough

This is now my 3rd full week of riding the bus to work, and nothing yet has surprised me. I've noticed a real lack of chivalry with men - men do not give up their seat to women anymore. I guess that ended with feminism, which really chaps my hide! I've also had the same African Muslim woman twice now try to shove past me in the aisle as we approach the Montlake stop in the evening - we get off at the same stop! I've told her twice now to wait her turn.
But this morning's ride is the craziest yet - we got into an accident coming down 23rd from Cap Hill! I was in the front, so really felt the crunch of us hitting a white sedan that pulled out in front of our bus (we had a green light by the way). We all sat there a bit stunned for about 30 secs, then piled off onto the sidewalk to await another bus to pick us all up.

I gotta wonder what tonight's ride home will bring....
