Today hasn't been a very good start. I'm not too happy with my friend Ripta, since I waited a whole 20 minutes at the station waiting for the bus to arrive. (FYI, Ripta is the name of the bus station in Kennedy Plaza). I was cold, and running late, plus the fact that there were about 30 other people waiting on the same bus too didn't make me too happy either. I knew this meant I was going to have to make sure I get in fast. Pretty much fight my way through. If not, I would be riding standing up, which I have not done yet and I am not planning on it either. I've seen people slip, I haven't witness someone falling yet, but slipping is not pretty either way. Even the thought that a person can fall, just hurts me.
Whenever the bus gets filed like today, if your one of the people that is seating in the front and middle section, somebody is most likely going to be standing around you. In certain situation they usually stand beside you, if you’re lucky. On other cases they're facing towards you, or giving you their back. I still haven't decided which one is more uncomfortable. There is nothing more uncomfortable than having to seat on a bus for an hour, more or less, with someone’s behind so close to your face, someone you've never even met or seen before in your life. You almost don't know what to say.
What I do, is I push really back into my seat so that I create some space in between us two, close my eyes and make pretend there is no one there. Until I accidentally kick them, but they know it was by mistake, so all is well. :) I hate riding on the bus when it's full. At least I got a seat and wasn't one of the ones left standing.
