Moody bus sitters

This is going to be a quick rant blog, keep in mind I am and will look at it from both views.

Today, it rained quite a lot but the heat from the sun can still be felt. Therefore on the bus it can appear to be quite humid to anyone who has worked throughout the whole day. 

Moreover, the upper deck was COMPLETELY full and a mother with two small children (early primary school age) came upstairs to look for a seat, a man got up to offer his seat for the mother and children, this then ended up with the mother sitting one child squashed in the middle of her and a stranger while she sat on the edge with her other small child on her lap. 

Furthermore, this stranger got agitated and raised his voice saying "why can't you sit on another seat" but the loop in his sentence was that there were no more available seats on the upper deck. This resulted in an awkward silence. 

Now, let me tell you why I am on the mothers side of this, this is because if she did not proceed to sit down the bus would tell her to go downstairs, this would result in her leaving her two younger children upstairs alone. Also her young children are at the age where they can walk and stand by themselves but on a moving vehicle find it hard to maintain their balance. Therefore, if the mother were to let only one child to sit down, she would have to carry the other child while standing up on the upper deck of a moving vehicle near the stairs! 

Additionally, I understand that it is hot and the man has probably finished work and does not want anyone to have skin to skin contact with him as he is hot and bothered, however he should be more understanding and if he wants to complain so much - go get a car!!! Oh wait if you can't afford one that isn't my problem, go get a better job! I believe people should not be so quick to get angry or fused and should calm down and think about why other people are doing the things they are doing, because in fact they could have a very reasonable explanation! 

Ultimately, this situation has not got a clear right and wrong to some. However, what would you have done if you were the mother? and what would you have done if you were the agitated man?

Always supporting and voting for you.
