Lets talk about some of the more awkward situations on buses for a minute. A fair amount of people who actually ride the bus are students. Often these students have humongous backpacks. It's just part of the deal, if you're a student, you have a decent size backpack to carry all your shit. Now the backpack on the bus serves 2 purposes. One, the backpack apparently requires its own seat. Too often you see a jackass student with his iPod blasting, oblivious to anything going on around him, sitting on the inside aisle seat of a row in the bus and setting his backpack down on the window seat. To what selfish shitty place have we come as people where we don't even want people sitting next to us for the duration of a bus ride. I mean really? I actually witnessed a kid in this exact scenario while other people were standing on the bus too scared to ask him to move his shitty jansport so they can sit. THEN, when a lady actually had the balls to go ask him to move his shit so she could sit down he said "this seats taken" Wow. Now we may be saying to ourselves, "oh hell no, i would get my seat" but in reality your ass would be standing up just like everybody else, too scared to say shit. Admit it. So now, purpose number 2 is when a student gets on the bus with their back pack on their back and there are no available seats. Who ever is sitting on an aisle seat when the student makes his 180 to look the direction the bus is going after going as far back on the bus as possible, is going to get busted in the head. Its inevitable. The walkway is too small. When that kid turns that backpack is going to whip around and catch somebody like a Tyson right hook. Now the best is when the person doesn't know its coming. Ive heard stories about people sitting in that exact aisle seat reading and then BOOM glasses go flying. Moral of the story, let people sit and be careful when you turnaround. You assholes.
