The bus

I take the bus every single day to get to school. Recently I've been catching the 8:07 bus with the highschool students from my old school. Being the considerate person I am, I have been seriously appalled by the lack of bus etiquette employed by the younger generation. They tend to sprawl across the seats, throwing their bags into the seats beside them so other people can't sit down. They refuse to be considerate tos elderly people by giving up their seats or removing their bags from the seats beside them. Sometimes they refuse to take a seat and block the aisles so they can talk to their friends.
My biggest pet peeve is that they think the back of the bus is poisoned or something. They refuse to move back. They stand in human clumps in front of the doors and stairs when there is prime seating back there. I deliberately fight my way to the back, employing full usage of my knees and elbows to get my point across.
I'm not saying that I'm a saint on the bus, but everytime I'm sitting near the front of the bus I will give my seat up for an elderly person. I always try to sit in the back of the bus so that the seats closest to the doors can be used by an older person. I never ever put my bag on the seat beside me unless the bus has less than ten people on it.
 Another pet peeve of mine is that on the bus, the oldest smelliest people tend to sit on top of me. I was on the bus today and this woman who reeked of cigarette smoke and peppermints sat right on top of me. She proceeded to talk loudly on her cell phone to the phone company, and everytime a student with a backpack came by she would push right into me making my seat area even smaller :(. Then as soon as I got off of the bus- SHE PUT HER BAG ON THE SEAT I HAD OCCUPIED!! I know I got off at the second last stop of the route, but still, there's at least a good three blocks the bus has to continue down to reach the terminal....

If anyone watches The Big Bang Theory, I think Sheldon needs to take the bus pants idea one farther- I need a bus bubble.
