Poor Lady

I took a bus going home and there was this "maarte" lady who wants to get off at the MRT Annapolis station. There are designated bays where buses can load and unload passengers in that area and when our bus stopped at the unloading bay, the conductor told her to get off and she just have to make few walks going to Annapolis station. But the lady brazenly refused to get off as she wants the bus to stop right in front of the MRT station. The conductor just shrugged it off and continued collecting fare. While our bus was already beside the MRT station, the lady told the driver to stop. But the driver did not hear her and the conductor deliberately ignored her cry. Out of sheer frustration, the poor lady shouted scornfully and told the driver to stop the bus so she can get off. Unfortunately, her desperate effort went futile as the bus can no longer stop as we were already taking the flyover. The bus can only take a halt at the next unloading bay which is really far from the MRT Annapolis station. Poor lady, she had walked under the scorching heat of the sun on her high heels and sexy dress. (Nawala tuloy poise niya) She wouldn't have suffered that much if she had gotten off when the conductor told her so.

After the lady got off, this thing came into my mind. Let's just say the conductor's adherence to the loading and unloading policy is admirable. But, would it hurt him if he had told the driver to stop right in front of the MRT station and showed an act of chivalry and courtesy to the lady knowing that there were no traffic enforcers to apprehend them anyway?

I don't think so. The "maarte" lady deserved what happened. Sinabihan na nga, di nakinig, yun napala niya, hehehe.

Thanks Ely for dropping by. I agree with you. But if you saw her, maawa ka rin sa kanya pero kunti lang..hehe.. Kasi she's all dressed up and the heels ang taas.

What this country needs is discipline..
