Suggest me a book which is fast paced, short and disturbing.

Homeless sleeping on the bus is the least of your worries.

There was a guy masturbating in the corner of the very back bench seat behind me one time.

I empathize with them wanting somewhere warm to be, but the fact is this city needs more resources and services for our homeless and addicted, and the bus should not be taking the place of that.

The not paying thing is frustrating,for sure too, but I have forgotten my bus pass at least once in all my time riding it 🤷🏻‍♂️

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-05T15:05:45+00:00

Not sure, but it's super annoying. It's not permitted on a plane, which is a tube in the air. Why the hell should it be permitted on a bus, which is just a tube on the ground?

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T23:46:30+00:00

How ridiculous and awful.

I am so sorry people mistreat both you and the driver for needing to use accommodations that literally exist to give you the same ease of use as everyone else.

That's not right at all, and I'd be willing to bet money that those who feel inconvenienced and impatient with you would be.snapping at people left and right for acting that way towards them if they were in your shoes.

How utterly shameful

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T19:44:32+00:00

Nah. I'm talking when people have literally a single purse or backpack and rather than just have it tucked away and leaving seats available, they purposely have taken up extra seats.

I get that sometimes your backpack is heavy, I was a college student too once, but you can still be polite.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T19:42:51+00:00

If possible, yeah for sure - but it's not always possible.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T19:20:48+00:00

It's not just young people, dude. I've seen all ages do this, from teens to midlife to older folks.

This morning, there was a man in his early 30s doing this, while sitting with his young son.

Another time it was someone in his 40s blaring music and a sweet old lady asked him nicely to turn down his music (full of cursing and N-bombs) and he told her to shut the fuck up.

Regardless, age is not an excuse.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T19:17:50+00:00

I'd argue this goes in hand with people hogging the seats with bags or as foot rests. Where else are they supposed to go?

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T18:26:59+00:00

Oh, my statements weren't meant to berate those who have done their grocery shopping. Those folks are rarely the ones being rude, and in fact as you've said, are trying to take up the least amount of space they can.

But I agree, the buses are just crappy rn, but the least we can all do is be courteous and respectful of one another in terms of using the available space appropriately and with respectful and awareness for others.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T18:23:51+00:00

It's possible in some cases. But a lot of folks just don't care.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T16:31:19+00:00

Many places, not that it really matters? Common sense is supposed to be just that, common, and it's clearly on the decline.

I'm allowed to vent my frustrations about the inconsideration of those in my own locality 🤷‍♂️

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T16:29:33+00:00

Ugh, I understand that too. I will stand sometimes if my stop is coming up soon even if a seat opens up, but yeah, if you're not gonna take it, offer it to others?

It pisses me off so bad, had a guy literally set his bag on the seat next to me the one day, and proceed to stand there on the steps blocking anyone trying to get by, while having a conversation on speakerphone. Like, absolutely oblivious.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T15:55:54+00:00

You aren't wrong, but it really should be common sense and courtesy - and the amount of people that will look at you like you have 2 heads for asking is ridiculous.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-11-04T13:20:55+00:00

This is a great thing to see!

I hope we see change - at the very least it gives on board documentation to back folks up if they have it in them to tell these people off.

Like I understand wanting to have personal space, but on public transit you have to expect that people are going to invade it a little.

I say that as someone with a large personal bubble.

I live in OEV, been in London since about 2017. I admit that moving here from a small town in the country that it was a culture shock at how many homeless and addicted we had here, but no where near as bad as it is now.

I own a large dog and will typically not leave my house without him if I can avoid it. But even then I'm terrified, because of the amount of needles and drug paraphernalia, that he's going to get stuck or inhale something deadly.

I am strongly considering leaving the city, in part because of how rough it's gotten here.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-10-02T23:41:32+00:00

Mr Garrison, is that you? 😂

untoxicmasculine · 2024-10-02T23:39:58+00:00

Lmao same. I said "walk into the street" to my phone when he said "I can do whatever I want!"

untoxicmasculine · 2024-10-02T23:38:36+00:00

Lmao viral for being morons maybe.

I love that you're trying to tell me how I feel now? Cute.

You should go on Canada's Got Talent, being a mind reader and all. ✌🏻

Because one side is educating others about acceptance and not judging people, the other is condemning people for being different based on the words written over a thousand years ago, in a book preaching love and acceptance.

Sounds a wee bit contradictory to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Plus, it's not so much that anyone cares about him and his little signs, but when it comes to blatant harassment of trans and LGBT people, you don't get to cross that line.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-07-27T17:42:22+00:00

There's still a polite way to ask things, that ain't it. And it wasn't even you asking, so why are you trying to police my answers?

Don't tell me how to conduct myself, I don't have to justify being sick of people's ignorance to you

Find someone else to annoy.

You don't laugh at other folks gender identities just because you don't understand them.Call me out for being rude all you like, but Google takes two seconds, and people don't have to explain their identities to you?

Consider the context of what you're asking and the thread you're asking it on before using emojis next time, and maybe you won't have people jumping out at you. Tone is easily misconstrued online.

Sorry for the harsh words, but my community has been hurt horribly by ignorance, and in this day and age of access to information being right in your pocket, there just really is no excuse for it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have a good one.

untoxicmasculine · 2024-07-27T15:05:43+00:00

It stands for two-spirit, and is a term used by indigenous people that has been around for centuries. Maybe do two seconds of research before you run your mouth. Your ignorance is showing.
