What really gets my blood boiling is that people play ignorance when someone elderly gets on the bus. Instead of offering their seat (and yes, they are sitting in the courtesy seats), they just keep their eyes on their phone/tablet and are fully engrossed in whatever they are texting/watching/reading. They never check who is around them. They never look up to see if anyone needs the seat more than them. The ones who are the worst offenders are people my age or younger. For goodness sake, can you give up the slight inconvenience that you won't be able to watch your show for just a moment as you get up to offer your seat to the person who needs it more than you? I suggest if you want to take advantage of the courtesy seat, that you look up every stop and see who is getting on a the bus or train out of respect.
So there's actually a solution to bring my blood back down to a simmer, but I've learned of it only recently. There's a website called STOMP that allows site users to post pictures of people behaving rather poorly on the road or on transit. Check out this page, and maybe have a laugh here.
Only issue is, that a lot of these posts have turned into personal opinions, rather than just shaming someone for breaking a rule. Like, there is a statement that it was "unsightly for a woman to be sitting with one leg up on a luggage". This is an opinion; not a rule. So, people have taken it beyond what this page is supposed to be an complaining (remember, people here self-proclaim the country is known for eating, shopping, and complaining).
I think this could really work, if appropriate moderators are in place. Back home, there have been so many times I would have loved to post a photo or a video of an idiot driver driving recklessly on a road. What do you think? Like the Vancouver Stanley Cup Riots, would this be of help or detriment to law enforcement?
