WTF Bus #2

Before I begin, I would like everyone to know that I have nothing against people in general, they probably have went through some experiences in their lives that made them who they are today. HOWEVER, when they bring that onto the bus, I have no choice but to be sitting in that same space and become a witness to the ridiculous stories that ensues. And this one, is a keeper.

One of my favorite stories is when the winter was about to end and this was the first officially nice day in February/March. It was a saturday afternoon, and everyone was outside enjoying themselves without freezing. people were walking outside with only t-shirts and pants, there were a lot of motorcycles roaming about, just to show off. And then everyone decided to lose their goddamn minds. Just because it's a nice day out does NOT mean you need to be piss ass drunk by 3pm. We didn't even make it to downtown yet, and people are off their asses drunk. But the BEST part of that trip was a woman was shouting on her phone to her daughter. The conversation went like this:

"This is what I do, I ride the bus. I'm too poor to buy a car, so I'm going to ride a bus. This is what poor people from the projects do. We are from the projects, we're all poor, we all ride the bus, everyone."

At this point, I wanted to raise my hand and say "I don't think I qualify! I'm not poor, just don't have a license! This is a pretty cheap alternative to car payments!" but I held my tongue. Not that much longer she angrily gets off the phone with her daughter and says that she can't even talk to her anymore. Now that she finished the phone conversation, she decides to continue it with everyone else on the bus.
"Can you believe that? That was my own daughter talking to me like that. She says that she's not from the projects, and I says 'yes you is, you were born and raised from the projects'. But she thinks she's too good for everything now, now that she has a PhD, she thinks she's above the projects."

WHOA!

OKAY! If you have a PhD in ANYTHING then yes, you ARE above the projects! End of Story! I couldn't handle it after that point, I got off the bus early so I could control myself. I kept laughing all the way to the train station from there.
