Pet peeve of the day...


Proper etiquette for public transportation usage...
What the hell is wrong with some people? Two things have really been bothering me lately.
1) At any subway stop in Chinatown, why do Asians not let you get off the fucking train before trying to enter it? Seriously, without fail for the last 2 months every time I have tried to get off the train at Chinatown there has been a wave of incoming Asians blocking my path. Even though the train car is empty. It's like they have to push past me just to make sure they get to one of the 20 seats available. Bah! Learn some fucking manners!
2) Why do older people think they are entitled to skip to the front of every line? Why is it when you are standing in line for a bus and its a good 10 people long do old people think they can come in at the last minute and skip to the front? It's so fucking rude, it's not like someone's not going to give up their seat for them anyway. It is an abuse of power, plain and simple!

  1. Chinese people behave this way because, individually, we are small and congregate in groups in order to compensate. Hubby is 6'4 and has often been the hapless victim of Tai Chi musical chairs.

  2. It's scary but since I moved into my new position, the throng of Asian workers do the same thing with the entrance to our doorways at the manufacturing plant. So I guess it's not subject to just public transportation...

  4. No fighting or professional people stuffing just more transportation amusement.. Philippine Airlines, of course. Those are the atypical Asians who actually have rhythm and aspire to careers other than math/science and don't make asses of themselves on American Idol.
