I am all for keeping my body as clean as possible. Some may say I have a little OCD. But, some of the ways we clean ourselves should be kept in the home, behind closed doors.

I am talking to you Mr. “Rides line 8 every morning and Q-Tips his ears on the bus”. I am almost to the point of vomiting when I see that you are going to be on the bus with me. Without fail, you sit down in the priority seating area and begin to go to down on your ears with the Q-Tips. You only pause to inspect your findings left on the Q-Tip. Really man, I love that you are keeping your ear canals clean, I do too. But I would beg of you to do that before you leave the house. I can’t keep from looking, its like a train wreck. STOP!

I understand the average rider’s worry that they may miss their stop. But I want to raise awareness and safety concerns about a certain practice I have been noticing/getting annoyed by. I am referring to the common activity of half the riders all jumping up, pushing and shoving their way closer to the exit, WAYYYY before the stop.

I have yet to EVER witness a rider not able to get off when they wanted to. The drivers watch to make sure that all riders attempting to exit are able to do so. It can be a little annoying and sometimes downright dangerous as people push and maneuver around each other as a bus/train is applying brakes. Half the time the person you are trying to get around may be getting off at the same stop!

So please, wait until the bus/train reaches its stop before running for the doors. I don’t mind if you want to stand up, but please don’t start crowding an already crowded aisle.

You will get off, I promise.
