The seeds of discontent

So I was riding the train and this dude gets on the train with two bags. The first bag is a regular bag but is this dude carrying a Pizza Hut Warming bag? Clearly, he is not carrying pizzas unless those were the lumpiest pizzas in the world. As I decided to mind my own business, he breaks out a bag of Sunflower Seeds. UGH!! It's not that I hate sunflower seeds but I DO hate how they are consumed in the Black community. If you have not witnessed this process let me describe it to you. Pour, Insert into mouth hole, chew, spit out shell, repeat. Oh did I not mentions that the shells are being discarded onto the TRAIN FLOOR? Disgusting! The offending person usually leaves a pile of seeds at his or her feet. The only thing I hate worse than that is when people smoke on the bus stop.

Anyway, by the time I get to the bus I just want to be at home. As I near my stop this old guy starts singing Smokey Robinson songs on the bus. Now I'm all for freedom of expression and all but not when it infringes on MY freedom of riding the bus unmolested. STFU!!! The really sad thing is he was a pretty good singer even though he was past his prime about five teeth ago.
