A letter I cannot send
To the woman in the green jacket who got on the #77 bus at Lake Street this morning: Madam, I wish to give you an early holiday present--the gift of having the awareness of others. The fact that you were loaded down with three overstuffed bags did not entitle you to cut the line to get on the bus, nor did it entitle you to spread your stuff out over multiple seats on the bus. Your complete lack of awareness was capped by your unwillingness to cover your mouth when you coughed all the way into Porter Square. There are others in the world who are deserving of courtesy and respect and you showed a lack of both. May someone give you a clue-by-four for your winter holday.
