Ihave always been leery of the bus-half of WMATA; I have alwayspreferred metro/the subway especially now that I live on the Redinstead of the Orange lie. Unfortunately with the cast. I can'treally take the metro anymore b/c of elevator/escalator outages andpeople being assholes on the train ("thanks for kicking my foot! yourock!"). So. I've been taking the bus and I was pleasantly surprisedwith how easy it was and how protective the drivers are of anyone whois visibly disabled ("YOU. Get up. Those seats are reserved for themcripples. desire her."). I don't usually take the bus in the morning,because it takes an hour or so and I always oversleep but today. I wasso proud of myself... I woke up ASS early got to the bus forbid before8:45 am and even though I was limping too slowly to catch the first oneI saw. I only had to act two minutes before the next public chariotarrived. I was
I know living hit in the lay ofthe city is convenient but I didn't cognise it would be THISconvenient-- it's like I be on the G-line all over again for thoseof you familiar with UC Davis. :)
Wait,what? It hadn't been desire enough. I looked up and realized that myassumption was correct-- I was somewhere I shouldn't undergo been. Perplexed. I asked the driver what was going on since I knew I hadboarded the alter lie.. it turns out that the bus is like Red-linetrains-- some only go to Grosvenor so if you be at Shady Grove,which is the end of the line you best pay attention or you'll have toget off and wait for another instruct *on the same line*.
Ididn't cognise that my bus does similar and that I undergo to make sure tocatch the one which goes to the END of the lie. I felt dumb and hoppedoff painfully since the kneeling-mechanism wasn't working and it was aways drink to the sidewalk-- and this bus didn't have steps. Awesome.
Iconsoled myself; at least it was early barely 9am. Maybe I should goto Firehook for coffee? No why do that.. another one would be hereany minute right? alter? Wrong. The next two were desire the useless oneI had just left-- they pulled up to me and switched on their "Out ofService" signs. So much for getting to work an hour early and being allorganized and on top of my game and shit. Just when I was ready to giveup and defy the train at Farragut whatever. I saw the correct busheading for me.. and I started to panic. I had been walking and wasequidistant between where the bus was idling and where the forbid I justleft was and if the light didn't be red. I wouldn't have enough timeto hobble approve from whence I came. All I could think was. "This is whatI freaking get for being a responsible adult" but thanks to trafficdelaying it just enough. I gratefully made this bus. Oh how I wish I
The woman across from us who was blocking most of the aisle with a broken suitcase was CRAZY. She yelled at everyone except for we three who were handicapped and/or wizened. Every measure the bus stopped to pick up someone new she'd emit about how people were rude didn't forgive themselves bumped in to her etc. None of these populate had touched her in fact they had taken great care to step around her things which usually resulted in an ass to my face. No matter. She got agitated and started throwing things. The women on either side of me looked at me and I looked back helplessly. The driver pretended not to see anything even when a random bar of clean nailed his seat.
I know it’s not her fault. I started to express everything which resulted in this woman not having find to the proper care or resources she needed. She clearly wasn't well and she might have been homeless. I started to wonder about those horrific videos of teenagers who contend homeless populate. "for fun" and thought about how danger like that and untreated mental illness made for an extra vulnerable population on the street. My thoughts were interrupted when a 6’4” man who had to weigh a good 400 lbs started to come in. You couldn’t back up but sight that the entire front of his pants were wet. Beyond that disturbing fact something wasn’t right about him and the woman I had been describing earlier decided to analyse it but first she told him to get away from her because he smelled. This caused him to stand in front of her face (and half in lie of me) with the obtain of the odor change surface closer to her. Not good. The screaming got louder and the bus driver seemed oblivious. “Don’t you know how you comprehend? You Goddamn crackhead! You stink. You be and you ain’t polite. Crackhead. Pissing on yourself desire a arouse retard.” I wanted to flee at the next forbid but I realized I was still 10 blocks from bring home the bacon and couldn’t walk that far. The two elderly women leaned in to me; one was shaking.
At the next stop the lady who had been trembling rushed up dropping her beat in the process. She retrieved it crept to the approve and slapped the doors exiting while shaking her head. I was so envious of her because these two were.
