This morning during my usual commute that consists of a car, a train and a bus, I encountered one of the most blatant acts of outright selfishness that I have ever been witness to on the CTA.
I got on the 120 out of Ogilvie Station, took my seat and riffled through my purse for my office keys. Once I found them (in a heap in the bottom of my bag) I looked up to see this -
Ok - so I'm no Ansel Adams, but what's going on in my blurry, clandestine photos is this double-chinned bitch is sitting and reading her book (in the priority seating section, mind you) and has a ginormous bag next to her (I'm not referring to the lady on the other side of her, either). And said giant bag is taking up the entire seat to her left. Now, if you've ever traveled on the Metra train, you are aware of the "seat hogs". Those assholes who put their bag or other crap on the seat next to them so no one can sit there. But let me tell you, it doesn't fly on the CTA. The buses are too crowded for that crap. Yet, Blondie here decided her huge pleather bag needed its own seat.
But that's not even the infuriating part. Look to the background of the picture. See the dude standing there? He's holding a cane.
HE'S FUCKING HANDICAPPED, YOU BITCH! HE'S STANDING AND YOUR $10.00 TARGET BAG HAS IT'S OWN SEAT.
By the time I got off that bus I was seething. What kind of ridiculous bitch doesn't even offer up her seat to a handicapped person? If he preferred to stand, that's fine. But Ms. Mememe never asked.
So when I finally got into the office, I decided two things. 1.) I'm gonna put her selfish ass on my blog so my 4 readers can enjoy her tremendous act of selfishness, and 2.) I'm going to send in a reader submission to R.O.C.K. on the C.T.A. (One of my favorite blogs of all time, yet I have never submitted before). The heights of rudeness that guy records are legendary.
Have a great day - hopefully you won't run into anyone like this today. But who are we kidding? You know you will.
That's just awful...There are so many people in this world that can only think about themselves. I see it everyday and I just take the Metra. I do take the CTA sometimes and I am always surprised..but I shouldn't be. My favorite incident was when someone was trying to get on the subway and a man politely asked for a woman to move a bit and she replies "I DON'T WANT TO!" It was the rudest thing I ever heard.
