Life is a funny thing sometimes

I travel by bus to get home from work every day. This means that I get to see a fair few different people getting on and off. Last week though, was a very interesting spectacle. The bus stops, as usual and a bunch of people get on, but one man, very old and feeble-looking simply stands there, helplessly looking at the door. The driver, being a good sort gets out and offers to help the old man in, but he simply shakes his head.

Moments later, a 20-something year old girl walks up to the bus. With crutches. As the driver stands to the side scratching his head (and most of us passengers sitting inside grinning like idiots), the old, feeble, weak man proceeds to lift the girl inside. Not help her you see, actually grab her by the hips and lift her inside like she barely weighs more than a bag of groceries. He then moves to the rear seats, completely ignoring the girl as she tries to sit down in an empty seat, with a bit of help from yours truly.

Arrogant bastard, retired superhero or just life being its own silly self? You decide. Me, I got some more user accounts to set up.


See ya all on the bounce.
