Waiting for a matatu and one dude starts beating the shit out of another. Two separate times.

Cool dude gets on near Bakersfield, sits next to me, drinks a 12 pack and tells me how he murdered people in prison.

Various people smoking crack, meth, and fety on trains and buses

Dude gets asked to turn his music down, goes on escalating and frankly impressive rant for 10 minutes about how he’s going to cut the guys head clean off with his machete

Various guys jacking off

Various rants against every race

Spent 90% of my life taking public transit and I love it. Big public transit fan and I wish people would intermingle more in general.

But, if you talk loudly or listen to music on the tinny speakers on your phone, you are the scum of the earth in my eyes. I’d rather have a dude strung out on heroin on the train than you, absolutely no hint of sarcasm.

    You love it? God, I would become so depressed.

    It’s a fair point, but I think I gained some empathy and perspective on my own problems. Maybe it does something dark to a person but I’m definitely fairly confident.

    I get to look at my phone and read interesting things/do Duolingo. The stress of a car would be similar or worse I think.

    Humanity is interesting, warts and all
