Peeve's be we, part three...minus one
It’s kinda hard to whine and gripe today, considering the events that took place this past week in Japan.However…in keeping with the “Pet Peeve” topic of my most recent posting and my penchant for pointing out the shortcoming of of inhabitants of this planet I present the following.
Is it not time for the TTC to resurrect the campaign that they ran in the 70’s and early 80’s encouraging their riders to place their bag neatly at their feet or under their seat?
I can’t believe the lack of consideration given by the new quasi-moto’s of Toronto who wear their knapsacks onto a bus or subway and walk around like there’s nothing to it – and by the way morons, you don’t actually have senses in your fricking knapsacks, the same way you do in your ass or elbows – when your ass or elbow knocks some unsuspecting guy named Geoff in the head, you actually know it, and if you are nice and well heeled, you’ll turn to me…errrr….that guy and apologize. When your bulging knapsack filled with hard edged laptops, binders, lunch boxes, shoes and maybe the odd barbell smacks the same head, you feel nothing and continue as if your add-on hunch back isn’t a part of you. You take up the space of 1.5 people now, and when I nudge you because I am pissed off that your knapsack is impeding on my space, you turn and leer at me because I, all of a sudden, am pissing you off.
Okay this rant is far more angry than originally intended, but I am tired of it. The TTC ran their campaigns in the 70’s and 80’s when we all hauled our Adidas gym bags to and fro, but now that everyone has moved to the Heys pack-du-jour, I am coming home nightly with bumps, bruises and generally a foul mood in tail, because of the insensitivity of these masses. Funny enough, it does seem to be those born in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s who are the culprits, generally (but not always) those of us old enough to remember the TTC campaign.
While we’re at it – I have to say the average TTC driver is really nice and fun to ride with. Sadly the not-so-average driver’s ruin it for the good ones – but we’ll save that one for a rainy day!
