The other day, I got to the bus stop fairly early - maybe 10 minutes. From my vantage point walking down the long hill near my house, I could see that there was someone waiting there already. By the time I got to the stop about 5 minutes later I could see that it was a woman.
When the bus came, we boarded together, and after perhaps 30 to 40 seconds she pulled the cord to get off at an area only 4 blocks away where there is a place to transfer to another bus. Remember, these aren't city blocks we're talking about either.
To review, she waited 15 minutes for a bus to take her 4 blocks. No, she wasn't confined to a wheelchair or needed the use of a cane. No, she wasn't wearing high heels, or a skirt, or any other movement-preventive clothing. There is no bench at my bus stop, so she STOOD waiting for AT LEAST 15 minutes for a bus to take her where she could have walked in less than 5 minutes.
And that's not the first time I've seen that happen. Mind you, I walk at least 4 tenths of a mile if not a full mile (if I miss the first bus and have to take a different one) to get to the bus stop, so I'm completely unsympathetic to people who are unwilling to walk AT ALL. I'd rather not wait...

Stupid lazy people, they are the worst. Especially those kind of people who come home from work after sitting in a chair all day and all they want to do it watch King of the Hill. Oh wait, thats my life.
I love King of the Hill.
Amazing. This is like those people who drive miles out of their way to save four cents a gallon on gas.
Thanks for reading, guys. I think you're the only two who do.
