No problem with those huge bags, as long as the owners don't make everyone else wait for them while they rummage through the them.:waiting:

I look and watch those ahead of me and think....that's gonna be me one day. I give them Kudos for just gettin' in the car and doin' what they got to do. Nobody helpin' them out. How bout ' a little compassion for the feeble. (In a mood) I just think at my age what the heck do I have to do today that is so dang important that I can't wait a "few" extra minutes as they tend to their business.

I don't recall mentioning the "feeble". I am talking about all ages 18 years old and up. How much common sense does it take to be aware that there are other people in the world ? When waiting in line at the check-out counter, or waiting for a bus, what, pray tell, is so difficult with having your money ready ? Seems just simple courtesy to me.

Interesting. Very interesting. I never imagined that those women are doing it on purpose just to annoy people. But you may have a point. Perhaps they ARE doing it on purpose.

I guess I just haven't experienced it the way you have . I mentioned the "feeble" because that's what I have experienced the most. I wasn't trying to diminish what you said, only commenting on what I personally have encountered. I personally do try to be ready, I also know.. one day I may not be as sharp as I am now.

Some people are just happy to have made it outside

Others just can't stand the air breathed ahead of them

Courtesy; Noun
the showing of politeness in one's attitude and behavior toward others

:saywhat:

I’m just messing with you traveler. I don’t always have a purse and I definitely don’t hold up a line for anything but that’s people for you. They push all our buttons. Maybe YOU could start bringing a HUGE handbag too. :shrug:

haha. No, I don't think so. When I go out, my wallet is in my left rear pocket, my folding money is in my left front pocket, my coins are in my right front pocket and my keys are attached to my belt. That is the extent of what I carry. When I am in line at a store, by the time the cashier has rung up the sale, I either have folding money OR my debt card in my hand. Efficiency in action.

Like most men, I don't like shopping. I want to go in, get exactly what I came for, and get the heck out.

Yes but you aren't having to wipe babies faces, carry feminine products, etc,,, that women have to do... so...It's just a different arena. Although at the time a woman my not have had her babies in tow..she keeps those things handy for unexpected emergencies, you are prepared for what you encounter and so is she.

Really ? ALL WOMEN ? Seems to me that is no excuse for not being prepared to pay for her bus ticket. Seriously ! It should not come as a big shock that buses require a fare.

I do get what you are saying...I never said "All" women but yes people should be considerate of others..That's a different topic. The world we live in today is not the world we grew up in..I could go on and on about the inconsideration of this younger generation.

It’s not ALL WOMEN!!!
You are making this this out to be a women thing and it’s not. There are just as many inconsiderate male jerks as there are female ones. It’s NOT a GENDER ISSUE.

I believe that if you re-read my original post you will discover that my complaint is/was people who are unprepared to pay their bus fare when boarding. Now, if there is some reason why that is too big a problem for some people, then please let me know what that reason is.
In all honesty, I have never seen a man who had to struggle finding his money when he got on a bus.

There ya go... I don't ride a bus..It's all relevant to our own unique situations..so we either shut up.. or reply based on our own experiences. If we didn't there would be no conversation. It's all good..In my humble opinion.

Yesterday I was waiting for the city bus. There was a woman at the bus stop before me and when the bus arrived I, naturally, let her get on ahead of me. Well this "genius" stepped up to the coin meter and then, only then, did she suddenly realize that she had to pay. Duh. Well, she proceeded to rummage through her hand-bag. She rummaged and rummaged and rummaged. She pulled out a makeup case, a head-scarf, several hair brushes, an over-sized comb, a nylon bag containing God knows what, and still she looked. Meanwhile, I'm standing in the hot sun and everyone else on the bus was forced to delay their journey.

The only thing I did not see her pull out the that steamer trunk of a handbag was a spare tire.

Finally, the bus driver said, "Never mind paying. Just go sit down, PLEASE."
What in the world is wrong with some people ? :aargh:

No Traveler The conversation WAS on point considering :

I don’t live in the city
I certainly wouldn’t ride the bus
Especially if I were impatient and hating it.

Soooooo if it weren’t for us hassling you, there’d be no conversation.
Now don’t cha just LOVE US :grin:
