... on commuting

Going to the office and back home, I rely very much on public transport- jeep, FX, bus and the MRT. Commuting everyday, I consider every trip an adventure. But sometimes there are some irritating personalities...

• The Hello World Commuter. These are people talking out loud inside the vehicle. There's nothing wrong with talking during the travel but please be mindful of the volume and be considerate to your fellow passengers. First of all, we are not interested. Secondly, we don't care about your stories for we don't know you or the people in your stories.
  

• The Deaf Commuter. Don't you hate it when you are being ignored if you asked somene to pass your fare or to move a bit? The deaf commuters are the people who seems to not hear a thing when you asked them to move a little or to pass your fare to the driver. At first, I thought that they are wearing earphone, but they are not, the deaf commuter simply choses to ignore your request.
  

• The Unprepared. Knowing that you will be commuting, one should be prepared with their fare once they leave home. How can you expect a driver, in the morning, to have a change for your hundred peso bill. What make it more irritating is that they make it seems like it's the driver's fault. The worst breeds are those stupid one who would hand their fare at the time they have to step down then expecting a quick return of change .
  

• The Hair Lady. You were in the the jeepney sitting beside this beautiful long-haired lady. Feeling lucky? Don't thank your stars yet. When the jeepney started and the wind began to blow, will you still feel lucky that your face is being flagellated by her hair. Does her hair taste sweet?
  

• The Spitter. I used to love sitting at the back portion of the non-aircon bus rather than the front. I enjoy the breeze blowing in my face when the bus sped up. But recent incident made me change my mind. While in a bus going to Novaliches, I was so disappointed that I didn't got a window seat, worst, I was seated on the third row from the front. We were in front Camp Crame when the guy beside put his head outside the window then spit. Then someone from the back shouted, "Tang ina...wag naman kayong dumura dyan sa harap". Oh well..

• Crying kids and restless brats. Kids are fun to be with except when you're in a moving vehicle. How would you appreciate a kids crying their lungs out? I know it is not the helpless kid's fault. How about those 2 and 3-year old kids who are so creative in making thousand and one irritating noises not to mention those restless brats who keeps on jumping and shifting positions every three seconds. I know I've been a kid too but I assure you, I am very behave during travel . My mom could attest to that.
