Aw, that's nothing. Try taking the 36 on any given evening ;-)

i thought cursing like a mother fucker was a prerequisite for riding the bus.

that being said, on monday I was jogging and a school bus was dropping of a kid at madison and boren, and the little fucks left in the bus started cussing out the window at some twenty-something girl calling her a whore, bitch, slut, mother fucker et al. god damn 8-year olds have some of the foulest mouths in the world. all I could think was, that bus driver has no control over those kids (neither do their parents). and someone else witnessing just said, "damn, public shools".

This whole thing is rife with evidence of the cultural differences between Seattle and other cities. (Sing along if you know the words)

In New York, you put your hand on someone to move them out of the way, at the very least your'e getting a fuckin' earful, forthwith. In L.A. where people nod at each other rather than shake hands (much less hug), nobody likes to touch so they would never put a hand on anyone (not even to push them out of the way)and damn sure no one would even need to utter the words, "excuse me" because the second someone enters your pesonal space, you get out of the fucking way for them courteously or the yelling starts there. (Unless you're shopping and the person in your way has a stroller. That person has the right of way at all times, but only during shopping. Buses are still fair game. It's in The Bible, you can look it up.)
