like wisdom to the long-lived fool
So this morning I might have yelled "SERIOUSLY?!" at a whole bus-full of people when the people in the back moved back further back and you could see space open up around and just past the middle door (it was one of those three-door newer buses) but nobody in the middle moved at all. And by might I mean did.
Listen, I am having a bad hair day. I can't be held responsible. Also I didn't mean to say it out loud. But people started shuffling back, so go me? I just can't with people who plant themselves toward the front of the bus and don't move when there's clearly a huge crowd of people trying to get on! Like, sure, okay, you're standing with your kid, that's fine. At least try to not block the whole aisle and let people pass! And take your fucking backpacks off for god's sake. What the fuck.
I think that I am also just losing patience with people in general, because the other day there was a man on the bus stop looking for Republicans and I honest to god might have hissed at him when he asked me. I made a disgusted sound, anyway. I didn't mean to. but. You are on the Upper East Side! Those of us taking the bus are unlikely to be the voters you're looking for!
In other NYC news, they're doing another 1-year rent freeze, so I might just stay where I am one more year despite everything. I guess it depends on what is actually in my new lease. Because I do love the neighborhood and I also have not done as much as I should have over the past few months of getting rid of stuff, and it'd give me more time to save money. It's not that I don't want to move. But I don't want to move? I want to have moved, without any of the work or hassle involved. Sigh.
