User blog:Elizzi/A small sign of human care

So, On a bus heading home, I am greeted by an incredibly nice Russian-sounding bus driver with a smile on his face. About 4 stops later, a began hops on with his skanky (I assume) girlfriend. (May have been a sister, may have been both). Naturally, he does not have the money for a bus, so of course the Bogan blames the bus driver. Using all manner of racial slurs, loud profanities and general offensive douchebagery, he proceeds to be an asshole and make the entire buss shuffle uncomfortably in their seats.

All except one man. This avenger hero stepped up to defend the poor bus driver.

"Look mate, he's just doing his job. How's about you calm down and leave the driver alone. It's not his fault you can't pay." The logic of the situation made a slight whistling sound as it passed over the Bogans head. I could se the Tonka Trucks gears clunk and grind in this mans underdeveloped cranium. Calm.... Down? It must be a challenge!

"Are you try'an start me c*nt? You wanna go me you f*cking c*nt? You wanna f*cking go on me?" Ah, truly the words of a poet. But not even Oscar Wilde himself could have predict the Batman-esque reaction of:

"Yeah, actually. Let's do this. Off the bus"

You could hear a penny drop as the 256mb brain inside the Boogans little skull ticked over. Finally, the judging eyes of the bus coupled with the high pitched, slurring voice of his sister-daughter telling him to "take him" and (quoting directly) "don't take none that shit babe" convinces them both to step off the bus ready to fight.

However, calmer than a monk on morphine, our hero turns to the bus driver, simply says "shut the door mate", and walks back to his seat. The bus driver shut the door, drove away, and the entire buss ERUPTED. We were clapping, we were cheering. I gave Mr.Boogan the finger out the window, and I'm pretty sure people hugged.

TL;dr: thank you stranger, for making humans okay in my book.
