Life Ain’t Fair

I suppose a deep and meaningful post is due after letting my brain rot for as long as it has been stewing in my spinal fluid. Just today while waiting for the bus to get back home from work, I saw 3 girls at the bus stop. I wouldn’t exactly call them ladies or women, because they look slightly younger than me and if I had to estimate their ages, I’d say they were something like 18 or 19 years old. One of them was pushing a baby stroller and the bunch of them weren’t exactly inconspicuous. They were talking and cussing left and right while talking about what they were going to buy in the city later on.

Girl 1: 1st we need to buy that necklace from Diva, glasses from Myers or Jay Jays and clothes.
Girl 2 & 3: Yea, what time is the ****ing bus coming? We’re going to be late!

Basically the whole conversation was centered around that topic and guys. And how those sexy guys are everywhere etc. At this point, I put on my ipod because I could no longer take their verbal diarrhea polluting my ears.

There was a baby girl in the stroller and I think she sat up and the girl I presume is her mother was yelling at her to lie down, stop kicking off the blanket and things that a baby would usually do. When I caught a glimpse of the kid, she was less than 1 year old as best as I can estimate.

My heart went out for the little kid. Poor thing was born in such condition and at such a young age is already at risk for a number of things like abuse and lower SES. Then this purple Subaru WRX GTI drove by with its loud exhaust (now I h ave nothing against that car, I actually love loud cars) with its window down and next thing I know, I hear all 3 girls wolf whistling at that guy. Really loudly. And going, “Yo, sexy!”. They were literally screaming at the guy to look at them. I think I nearly barfed when I saw their behaviour. The girl pushing the stroller had on a red bra (could be seen above her shirt from the back) and a black tank top with her breast almost spilling out of it and a mobile phone tucked into the side. Her outfit and attitude just screamed out skank.

When the bus came and everyone piled into it, everytime a black guy walked past or the bus passed a black guy, all 3 girls will bang on the windows and wolf whistle and yell, “Hey sexy! Looky here” or something along those lines. Nearing the city, there was this black guy that got on the bus and let’s just say they attracted a lot of uncomfortable attention to the poor dude and themselves. The bus was already quite full and when the guy came in they went, “Yo, let his sexy ass in. Move it buster”. I just couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor guy who was trying to ignore their blatant wolf whistles and poor choice of flirting words.

Sometimes I wonder why people act the way they do. Is it because they don’t love themselves enough to respect themselves and act like civilised people? Or is that the norm for some of them?

Either way, there certainly are many people out there in the world with all kinds of different attitudes and behaviours. Only thing I ask is at least behave yourselves in public so others around you can try and live a civilised life and enjoy the beauty of a nice fine day in the city.
