Excuse me while i rage away...
Seriously i HATE no sorry, i LOATHE public transport!
I'm tired of going through the same darn ordeal every day. No matter what bus or tram i choose out of our large neighbourhood selection it always and i mean always seems to be crowded whenever i need to be on it. Needless to say this causes me stress and aches.
When i have to stand i nearly topple over at every turn because i have no balance what so ever and when i DO catch a seat i always seem to end up in front of someone that feels its absolutely neccesary to jamb their knees in my back or elbow me every 2 minutes.
When i finally get fed-up and ask people to watch where they be putting their limbs, they get annoyed at me for christ sake! It's at these points i feel like screaming and asking them how they would feel if there sore mucsles got put through that hassle every day!
Another thing that realy gets to me is that when by a bizarre instance of sheer luck i find a tram or bus with available space to accomadate my aching body, it ussualy doesn't take longer then 5 minutes untill some elderly person will demand my seat. Now i have no problem whatsoever with the elderly, but tell me this: Why does a person that has an entire day to take trips in to the city insist on taking the morning tram that working people use? Why, if they have all the time in the world, don't they take a tram a half an hour later, when all the working folk have gone and the tram is nearly empty? I can understand that standing on a tram is difficult for them, but so it is for me! And as opposed to them i do not have the choice to take that later tram or bus because i, sadly enough, still have to work every single day with my condition.
From now one next time someone demands my spot, i'll tell them exactly how i feel about it cause frankly i am fed up!
