Bus rant

I don't know if my hormones are acting up or I was super tired but I was really irritated by this woman on the bus today. Like I wanted to punch her stupid face.

Okay to set the context I really hate inconsiderate people on the bus (who doesn't). Like people who don't move in and block the entire walkway or people who use the seat next to them for their belongings or talking really loudly on the phone etc.

The woman today really annoyed me. So much so that I even drew the situation out. The people in color is the girl and her boyfriend.
(drawing it also to makes me use the tablet)



So basically this woman about 20+ in age was crossing her legs and it was sticking out into the walkway. Like a lot. The bus was really crowded and all the seats were full, and there were people standing at the back (like me). My back was facing her and I kept feeling her platformed, high heeled shoe brush onto my leg. Super annoying. But I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought that maybe she didn't know that her feet was being bloody inconsiderate to everyone who had to stand.  

Then to make it worse her boyfriend was sitting behind her and at first they were "holding" hands. Her boyfriend's hand is as depicted in the picture. He had his hand in that position the entire time. How they held hands? She just lifted her hand to touch his hand. But obviously it's such an awkward position that she stopped after awhile. His hand just continued to stay there and block people from holding the bar (or whatever you call it).
 
The crowd started clearing once the bus reached Bukit Batok area so there was space to move into the back more. Remember how I gave her the benefit of the doubt? Well, I saw that she CONSCIOUSLY moved her feet to prevent people from tripping over them. "Consciously" as in before they even touched her she shifted her leg. So now it was very clear that she KNEW her leg was blocking and she purposely left it hanging there.

I really hate people who have seats that block the walkway. It's like, you got the privilege to sit so can't you just freaking sit properly and not make it inconvenient for the poor people standing up? You're taking the space of the seat AND the space of the walkway. You're not that fat. At least, the woman was definitely not that fat.

Eventually the woman and her bf managed to sit together because the person sitting next to her got off and she moved in. She moved in, showing that her freaking legs could freaking sit normally and she had enough leg room. I took her bf's old seat.

So maybe this is kinda trivial and you may think it strange that I'll get so worked up over such a small situation. And it's a bit ridiculous cause I'm writing such a long post about it. Well, what happened next was what really ticked me off. 

There was a girl sitting in front of the couple in the inner seat and she was wearing a tudung with a nice shiny brooch pinning it up. Her bf suddenly decided to pretended to hit that girl's head. He did the hand motion and everything

He did it more than once, so I'm sure I'm not just biased.
What. The. Hell. Seriously. Thinking about it is making me angry and disgusted again. Who does that? Why would you do that?! It's so disrespectful. It would be disrespectful to anyone.

And of course they both giggled and she followed suit. She then pretended to 'hit' and 'pluck' shiny brooch off. I'm pretty sure they don't know that girl. I lost all respect for both of them and yes I totally judged them. She had that b*tch face and yes I'm judging. They're both stupid yes I'm judging. Also I could totally see her boobs in that shirt. I'm a girl so its okay. Still judging her.

At that point I really wanted to punch BOTH they're faces and go "WTF are you doing scumbags?!" 

End of semi-pointless rant.
