stupid people on the bus today
I got on and found a seat on the 145 at the bus loop today and the capacity was just getting to the point where most seats were full. But the area from the priority seats to the end was completely unoccupied for people to stand, and still, there was a small cluster of people in the front end of the bus. So the bus travelled down to the stop at security with a whole bunch of students waiting to get on. The bus driver only opened the front door and when a few students stepped on, the people at the front end were still standing still the entire time. After letting 4 or so on the bus, the bus driver said he had to close the door even though half the bus was literally unoccupied. So finally, one person who was trying to get on the bus mentioned that there was a lot of room if people moved back. Only then, did the stupid people at the front start moving. what a bunch of idiots
Comments
Lets consider the facts:
1/2 the people don't even speak English... hmm, care to elaborate on how you decided its half? Is it because roughly 1/2 of the people in your mind, clogging the hallways, are of a different ethnicity than you? (so, say, not white/European descent?) Please do elaborate on why half of the people dont speak English and manage to end up at SFU just to clog your hallways
Now lets us consider context.. make a hole? It's great you're in basic training and about to oh I dunno, protect Canada. But you're at school. This isn't fucking basic training, and as far as I'm aware, "real rank" within students doesnt seem to exist.
Its one thing to complain about people being stupid, but lets try and keep prejudice out k?
No need to get upset - certainly nothing "incredibly discriminatory" was said.
As well, props to Morro who was actually able to take what I said a grain of salt instead of trying to turn it into something politically incorrect.
Socialize people!
but lets remember
most of these people are study drones who have no life skills or common sense, its all numbers
maybe if you laid out a formula that equaled moving out of the way most would understand.
I don't talk to people on the bus because I've witnessed too many chats with a clueless/retarded guy talking to a girl who wants nothing to do with him. Meanwhile I'm just sitting there laughing at both of them in my head. As much as I'd like to talk to someone else on the bus, I'd hate to be one of "those" people.
Oh, and for those crying discrimination about the "english" comment. Way to jump to conclusions. Idiots. :P
Crowded? yes. To the point where you need to scream at people blocking your way to the point you need to scream at people? Not even close.
Offhand comments that resembles discrimination... hmmmm
Anyways, I've pointed out what I wanted, generalize or rationalize it as you will, true colours are revealed when people are least aware.
well still some, but not as much!
"Stairs are good for you" if I recall correctly.
I can count many times a week in which I have to fight my way past C9001 to the point where I am barely moving and it is because all of the students who have clustered around that one area. But it is not limited to that one area. Trying to get my way out of Images Theatre, through West Mall and AQ3153, I have to fight my way through clusters of students who are all rushing into the classes before we can even get out.
Crowded? Yes. Have I ever screamed? No. Have I ever raised my voice? No.
I have asked people politely and forcefully told people to move. Yet have of them obviously cannot comprehend what I have said so it is plainly obvious that half of these students cannot speak english.
Now Triple has made a comment which I 100% agree with. If these people just created a five foot gap it would help the flow of traffic by at least ten-fold.
Your true colours have shown today and they have shown you are an idiot that is something I am more than willing to admit that I have a discrimination against people like you.
I am tolerant. I am not ignorant. I do not conclude half the people don't speak English (because people failed to get out of your way when you politely asked even though you'd rather yell )
haha, it's what i do. If they drop their books? their fault! but I'm an asshole, do I care? NNNNNNNNOPE! Well I haven't had anyone drop their books. Of course the last 2 semesters i've done distance ed so I haven't gone to sfu thank god.
Blocking walkways is just a pet peeve of mine, it's the only time I'm an asshole... usually, :p
but definitely, when the fall semester comes through, the c9001 one hallway gets especially packed and it's ridiculous.
if any of those students are capable of forming enough braincells to develop the single thought of getting out of the way, it'd be great.
!
I agree with JayDub, but perhaps i would phrase it a tiny bit differently: half the people at SFU dont speak english very well.
And its true! And they do not seem to grasp the concept of walking quickly down the corridors. But they do seem to understand how to stand in the middle of the corridor outside of the busiest classroom on campus taking up as much space as they can. So smart!
