I arrived at my bus stop this morning 5 minutes before the bus was due, and there was only one other man at the stop, as the bus approached, a few older women (they had concessionary passes) arrived. I stood up as I saw the bus approaching, along with the man who was there before I was. I let the man on the bus before me as he'd been at the bus stop before, just general manners really, before the group of women decided that they couldn't wait and pushed onto the bus before me. Bearing in mind this was a double decker bus, so there were plenty of seats,I found this quite annoying. Had it been me and a group of my friends pushing onto the bus, there would be outrage, yet it's perfectly acceptable for a group of women (who weren't actually paying for the service) who arrived 5 minutes after I did to do so?
I'm not a rude person, and I do usually let everyone on the bus before me, and had I the chance I would've let the women on before me as well, I was unable to do this because of the way they pushed in front. You may read this and think "what's he going on about, why is he annoyed, he was going to let them on anyway" I'm not annoyed about that, it was the fact that they pushed, and had I done the same (not that I ever would) they'd want me sentenced.
