My War Against the Backpack Continues

Feb 06, 2007 10:32

On the bus this morning, I clubbed in the back three times by the backpack of a huge student standing behind me. Eventually, we had this brief conversation:
ME :Dude. How about taking your backpack off?
HIM:...Oh, no you di'int!
Apparently, some combination of the consonant-and-vowel sounds I made conveyed some sort of gross insult. Also, it renders people so apoplectic that they can no longer correctly pronounce the word "didn't".

Oh, and P.S., yes I di'.

In other transit-related news: what is it about a non-functioning escalator that makes people stop dead in their tracks, stare in fearful incredulity for a few seconds, back up through the crowd trying to move forward, and then take the stairs? A broken escalator is exactly the same thing as stairs, people! Just keep moving forward, okay? I promise, it's not going to take you to someplace different than it usually does.

I have nothing more to say. It turns out I just like using these Club things.

potpourri, transit
