Please Do Not Stand in the Rear Door Well

So here's how the scenario played out last night on the bus.Man with headphones walks to back of the bus.
Man does not sit in a seat, rather he stands in rear door well.
Sensor goes off over and over again and you hear. Please do not stand in the rear door well!
People look around say nothing.
Young girl gets on bus, does not look for a seat but does what? Stands in the rear door well.
Sensor continues to go off over and over again and you hear Please do not stand in the rear door well!
People get slight attitudes cause it's annoying but say nothing.
FINALLY, man on back of the bust gets up (with authority might I add) gets in their faces and says HELLO! Can you please get a seat!?! There is a sensor here which is why you keep hearing Please do not stand in the rear door well!
Young girl gets attitude and finds seat.
Man with headphones looks at the man says something smart does not sit down but steps out of the door well (the steps going down to the back door)
Man from back of bus goes back to seat, sits down, and does not have further conversation about it with folk in the back of the bus but sits there confident that he has rescued all of us from the annoying automated voice that kept saying, please do not stand in the rear door well!
People were relieved.
Man with headphones gets off bus at next stop.
Young girl gets off the stop after, cuts her eyes at man in the back and gets off
but he shall not be moved. He says nothing (maybe in his head he did)
I snicker and get off at the next stop.
So the next time you are on the bus my friends
Please do not stand in the rear door well!
Have a great weekend!
4 What's on Your Write Mind?:
Haha - I'll bear that in mind. Tho' I'm actually more like the guy who got up to tell them off...when I used to work and I caught the train I often found myself 'correcting' a young person (highschool kids) on their behaviour in the train (or lack of). Perhaps cos I was a teacher, I was still in teacher mode coming home from school and any kid in uniform was fair game. Used to bug me how other adults would just sit there and tolerate some of the behaviour. But I digress...and I'm taking up all your commenting space with my waffling.
I really came over to say "hi" and see how you're doing and also tag you to do a meme. Wanna do a Jesus meme? My latest post will explain :)
Hope you're keeping well Sandy. Don't be a stranger now (says me who rarely blogs either) *haha*
Hugs,

Hey Faraja!
Thanks for stopping by. I was just thinking about you and Michelle the other day. We need to have some sort of online reunion.... I'll check out the blog for the Jesus meme :)
That is so funny...and typical. Why do people get attitude when they know that they're wrong?
talk to me! I know I have to catch myself when I get attitudes for being called out on my wrong... :)
