As I'm coming home tonight, some dude gets on the bus, sits a few seats behind me, and proceeds to open 3 of 6 windows in the rear of the bus. The bus driver asks him to close all but one of them, quite nicely I might add. It's +8c overnight compared to the +25c we got during the day, so yeah, it is comparably colder. He takes offense and responds with "I paid my fare, I can have the windows open if I want!" Like buddy, it doesn't matter if you paid your fare or not, do what the driver tells you, or get the fuck off (or be removed from) the bus! You are not doing the bus driver a favour by being on the bus, they are doing you a favour bringing you from point A to point B.

It's not hard to *not* be an asshole to service workers, especially if they're ferrying your ass around the city at late night hours.

Please tell me I'm not the only person that thinks public service workers should be treated with some respect.
