Mass Transit Privileges

I was on the bus today and at a stop, a woman at around her 50s climbed the bus. The bus isn’t full, just a loose. The woman didn’t walk all the way to the back, instead she stood in front of me, hoping to get a seat because there’s an empty seat, but another man’s things are on it. The man just took a glance at her and did not do anything. He’s a black man. The man just went along with what he was doing and finally gathered his things as he’s nearing his stop. The woman, whom I suspect is Filipino and I can only describe as someone who has the attitude and demeanor of a Spaniard. So if you’re a Filipino reading this, quickly gather your thoughts on what a Kastila is like for a moment. The woman took the seat after the man took everything off of it.

When the black man got off the bus, the woman took her camera phone a took snapshots of the man while he’s getting off the bus. I was secretly laughing because her actions are pathetic. After that, she took pictures of around the bus as if she’s taking pictures of the bus until the rotation reached my angle and I suspect she took a picture of me. I don’t know what she’s going to do with it.

The woman thinks she has the right to take a sit before anyone because she has white hair and reading glass. Uhmm, I work as a slave so that I can pay $2 bus fare, why in the world would I give something I paid for to any elderly or handicapped? It’s not a law, it’s a privilege. I am denying them that privilege so what?
