And they say kids have bad attitudes...

I was thoroughly patronised by an old woman on the bus this morning. She got on just before I got off at the station, and proceeded to stand in the aisle to talk to someone, despite the seats next to and behind her friend being free.

When it came to my stop, I pressed the bell and moved forward as far as I could. I said "Excuse me" twice and was ignored. So I said it again, and without bothering to look up, she said "I'll move when the bus stops, dear - otherwise I might fall flat on my face. It comes from being 85 years old, you know."

No, IT COMES FROM STANDING IN THE SODDING AISLE AND BLOCKING EVERYONE'S WAY WHEN THERE ARE FREE SEATS.

I don't know why it bothers me. Maybe its that she ignored me twice before being rude. Or maybe its because I pay over £1,700 a year to use public transport in and around London while people like that get it for free.

Yes, maybe that's it. Stupid old cow.
