Public Etiquette

Ughhhh! Two short stories to make a good point:





Today


So it was like -20 degrees today in Chicago....but it's Chicago, so it's expected. Anyhow, I'm waiting for the #6 bus to go home home. This motherfucking Justin Guarini-side show bob looking degenerate bum rushes me to get on the bus. I stepped my big ass in front of him since I had been waiting for the bus longer than he was and hopped on.





This fool continued to push up behind me trying to wiggle his dumb ass on the bus. Finally when I turned around and said, yo chill with that pushing shit, you're going to get on the bus before it leaves, this bitch ass has the nerve to respond: It's cold outside. My hand wanted to smack the shit out of him, 1) because it's winter in Chicago and 2) I don't give a fuck. But instead, I simply replied: Watch the weather before you get dress, that's not my problem.





Saturday


Saturday I was at school studying for my final. I had to pee so like a normal person does, I went to the rest room. Now, the bathroom was completely fucking empty when I walked in. If there were 6 stalls, I walked to the 5th (furthest from the door) and proceeded to handle my business.





In the middle of my potty time, someone else comes in...cool. What's not cool is that this chick that came in went into the 6th stall right next to me and proceeded to take a shit. Now, I don't care about shitting in public. Although I prefer to go at home, sometimes, shit happens (literally and figuratively).





I wanted to fucking yell: "Out of all the stalls to shit in, you had to pass up the 1st four for the one next to me!" What the fuck!





....this brings me to the point of this blog: public etiquette





A couple of things I think shouldn't happen in public:






1. Phone conversations:



If you don't think anyone else arounds you gives a fuck, we probably don't want to hear it. That includes:talking about a disease you caught or thought you caught, a sexual encounter (good or bad), someone getting locked up or a fight, shut the fuck up until you get home. And if you can't stfu until you get home, reach down into your pre-k, kindergarten days and embrace your indoor voice!



2. Public Bathroom: Embrace the space.

If there are three stalls in the bathroom, don't be a moron and use the middle stall.

If there is someone in the bathroom, don't use the stall immediately next to them unless it is really necessary.

3. Eating on public transporation: Don't! If you're hungry enough to be a beast, you should have stayed your ass where ever you got that food from.

If you have to eat, clean up after yourself. I'm tired of seeing chicken bones, banana peels, chip bags, etc when I sit down.

4. Where to put your feet: It seems to me that some people have forgotten that the appropriate place for your feet in the public is the floor. I see numerous people, black and white, putting there fucking feet on the seats on buses and trains, WTF?

Do you sit your ass on the pavement? Do you sit your ass on the street? Grass? In mud? ...even if you do, I don't. Why should I have to stand up because your dumb ass wants to put your feet on the seat. I definitely don't want to sit in the shit you've been walking around with and I don't expect you want to sit in what I've been walking around in...so keep your fucking feet where they belong.

...these are the most immediate things that come to mind because they've pissed me off in the last 4 days.
