Irks of Oz - In the face of continual annoyance

Public Transport

November 2nd 2006 03:37
With a world so full of irritation it’s difficult to decide where to begin. I briefly toyed with the idea of starting at the beginning, namely with “getting up”. I am, as I’m sure many of you may be, not a morning person. However, I fear that might be a little discriminatory as I hear there is a strange breed of human out there that actually enjoys getting up. As horrified as this information makes me, I would hate to start out by alienating an entire people. So I have decided to start somewhere safe, as I have never met a single person who enjoys public transport. Presuming I was a studious little being I would now be going off to find some enlightening statistics about how many people use public transport, but I think it may be unnecessary. You are all intelligent people and I’m sure with a little imagination we can all picture the thousands of people, squished up on tiny little busses and trains. And trams if you live in Melbourne, we don’t discriminate here…

And I think all this could even be tolerated if the person who designed the bus routes ( and I apologies if they are reading this) could maybe take a second and think about where people like to go. I don’t know about everywhere, but I am sure my little city would cry with joy, I mean there would be dancing in the streets, if there was just one direct route going somewhere useful. And I think a few security guards that can actually “secure” would not go astray either. I don’t know how many of you have been grabbed by an hysterical, drunk, sobbing woman, called a whole host of undesirable names and held hostage for about 10 minutes, while the security guards huddle in a ball at the other end of the platform, but I have and it’s not pleasant.
I sincerely hope you are all well, and survive your next public transport experience.
