On Monkeys and Bus Fares.

..I took a bus going back to the apartment a couple of hours ago. My good friend and co-worker Dino had other plans (involving a 'shortcut' or something.. *evil grin*) so i didn't have the chance to ride on his car. Well anyway, the bus was nearing my destination when a guy in white sat beside me. Being my usual self i quickly ignored him and resumed doing my in-bus hobby (staring blankly into space). When the conductor came walking towards us asking for the bus fare, the guy in white pretended to be asleep. We all know what this means, right?

I already paid my bus fare; i was even holding my ticket that time. The conductor walked right past us, and returned to the front of the bus when the rest of the other passengers seemingly paid their fare. The guy in white 'woke up' immediately afterwards which left me annoyed and mad.

WTF? Lately i've been trying to reform my life and tried so hard not to look at an individual's physical appearance as basis for his attitude, but c'mon i think i'm excused this time. The guy in white, along with his face and overall attire looks like the typical robber or generic criminal. But this does not mean that he should act like one! I was really, really pissed that time. Makes me think of how would i react when someone in an office attire did something similar. I shook my head continuously, with the intention of letting him see that i was doing that. But was this enough? No. My plan was before i go down that bus i will tell the conductor that a certain monkey in white did not pay his fare.

But did i tell the conductor? ...No. Why? Because i came to realize that telling the conductor about that incident won't do me any good. Ignoring this incident will not affect my life. Right? Right?

I guess the readers can learn something from this, with relation to the upcoming elections or something. I'm not in my writing mood so i won't bother finding a connection. Heh.

Oh, and by the way, the monkey in white was wearing sunglasses. AT NIGHT. Stupid monkey.

Okay, back to normal. I'm a changed man. *grin*
