<——THIS WOMAN

So, this morning, as I was riding the bus from the Aon building to the Mercantile Exchange (I wasn’t feeling the walk this morning), I was already having a bad morning (tired, anti-social, and irritated), and this woman sits next to me at the Wabash and Madison stop.  She is on her cell phone, on public transportation with two children, presumably twins, probably two years old.  She gets on the bus and shouts at the little girl to “SIT DOWN!”, next to me.  This girl literally has to climb on to her seat because the woman was too busy to help her I guess.  The little girl starts to climb on to the seat, and kicking my legs in the process, all the meanwhile Mom (presumably) is on the phone.   She grabs the little boy (in the picture) and sits him on her lap.  Here is where I really got irritated.  This is some context of her phone call…with the kids sitting there, on a crowded CTA bus…

“Well, I don’t f*ckin care if he doesn’t like it, I’ll kick his f*ckin ass”  “I”m fixin’ to kick both of their asses if they don’t like it”  “They’re just f*ckin lazy”…..blah blah blah.   

On my 8 or 9 block ride from Wabash to Wacker, she probably shouted out 15 or 20 obscenities while her two “parrots” sat right there.  And we wonder what is happening to today’s youth.  Nice parenting lady.  I just decided to get off the bus instead of making a scene to let the lady know how much of a horrible person I thought she was.  I just let it go, but not before I took the picture.
