The Daily Peeve / Rant

All meaningless numbers without also calculating the percentage of women vs the percentage of men within the total workforce.

Plus, having the seat up is very bad Feng shui.

Ha ha, now that changes everything.

My rant today is about people who are rude on the bus. I realize it's public transportation and scattered here and there, there are going to be some loonies in the mix but I'm not fond of being told I can't stand somewhere - that I'll have to move - because I'm white. You could say this is what minorities have to deal with and I'll grant that, though usually in subtler forms - but I'm not racial. If I were surely you'all would have picked up on that by now.

At any rate, I survived to my stop and got off the bus intact but....that just sucked. That's all. Rob

This month's National Geographic issue on cities talks about rats living in sewer lines and peeking their heads up in toilet bowls. My lid is staying down!

Well ya know Rob there are plenty of people who will tell you that you ARE “racial” (I think you meant racist) simply because of your privileged upbringing. But being woke and all to those invictim land, I am sure this is not news to you.

It a woman’s restroom so seat should not be up just because others are allowed to use it. The people I know in wheelchairs don’t carry grabbers.

I'm pretty sure the chair user I know does--I'll have to ask. How would you pick things up, otherwise?
Knowing me, I'd carry a full complement of accessories, but that's just how I roll...

I think it is sometimes left up by men for the same reason it's left down by women, they're both inconsiderate of the others needs.

Have you ever sat down with the seat up? You fall in!!!!

I'm familiar with the problem, let's just say I've been awakened in the middle of the night by the scream "Allllaaaaannn!" more than once.

Love these delightful insightful discussions that have a basis in reality as well. My chuckle for the evening so thanks for that.

You make me VERY thankful to have my DH in more ways than one.
