I was travelling yesterday and I was in almost completely empty bus. The bus stopped and a dirty, disgusting woman came in. She had tosit next to me, of course. The BUS was almost empty. I hate it when that happens. Nothing personal but why others have to do this. That is not also the first time such thing happens? What do you think about it and has it ever happened to you???

..hi.. that's really disgusting.. well, you can transfer to other seats if you like.. sometimes, people are also unaware of how they look or how they smell.. and sometimes, they are not even aware of what they're doing.. maybe, the person didn't intentionally sat beside you.. and if that happens again, be cool and don't let the person get on your nerve because you will lost all your enthusiasm for the day.. just be more considerate and like what I said, if the person doesn't want to transfer to other seats, then you transfer.. maybe the seat is her favorite seat.. .. just making you smile..

Why should I always take others' into consideration about their demands or desires. I don't even care about others half the time because I don't know them. I just hate sitting to somebody smelly or weird. I, too, do not want somebody to endure me if he or she does not like me sitting next to.

You have absolutely no idea how much I used to despise that. When I used public transportation on a regular basis, that seemed like it would happen more often than not. It was most recently on the sky train late one night, just after midnight and there was only 4 of us on the entire train and this one guy got on the train and sat right beside me. Seriously? I don't want to talk, I don't want to know your story, I don't want you to know my story, I just want to sit here and listen to my music. Sit somewhere else. Not to be impolite, but public transportation is just not where I want to make friends.

Me too. I don't want to amke friends there. Indeed I hate public transportation cuz sometimes people can even violate your privacy asking questions or bump into you or sit next to you and looking judgemental. I have never liked travelling with a bunch of strangers. But it is not something so vital so I bear it.
