This is why I'm not too keen on public transport. The last time I caught a bus from Blackburn bus station it was an absolute free for all regarding queuing. Hardly anyone formed a queue/line. Instead they were loitering about, sitting down gawping at their phones etc etc. As soon as the bus appeared the few of us actually forming an orderly line were overwhelmed by those who'd been sat down etc, who barged forward to get in front of us, or at least try to! I kept a few at bay with my intimidating walking stick, but some got past me. One of those who did get past me and the other orderly queue formers even put his bag on the double seat he'd beat us to, to stop any one sitting next to him! That was it, the red mist came down as they say!! I asked him to move it to let an elderly woman sit down. She was one of those who'd been in that orderly queue. He replied that there were seats at the back of the bus, meaning he wasn't going to move his bag, expecting this woman to sit at the back with all those chavvy types yacking on their phones, inhaling vapes, sticking their feet on the seats etc, so I picked his bag up and launched it as far as I could to the back of the bus, telling him to go and effing sit there then! I don't think he'd ever been shown a bit of discipline it his entire life, but he was shown some then! 🧐
