In the early days of cell phones, before it was common knowledge that it is tabu to talk on your cell phone on the J, an obnoxious younger man was loudly talking so everyone could hear his life's story. An elderly lady next to him asked him to lower his volume. After several painful minutes of listening to this guy, she went to the busdriver and asked him to tell the guy to get off the phone. The driver stood up and asked him to hang up and the guy says, "i,m not going to hang up just because some old lady is bothered". I bit my tongue and have lived to regret not sticking up for her.

I would've piped up in the pregnant woman's defense and not only that enlisted the bus drivers help to enforce the seating arrangement. Who takes a pregnant woman's seat in such a vulgar manner?! That couple should have been made to sit apart as punishment. Makes me irritated that they managed to get away with it-I mean I cannot blame the pregnant woman for not making a bit deal out of it, but REALLY. How disrespectful and crude of them!!

Seriously that is just as messed up as the couple taking the seat. Seriously people watched this happen to a pregnant woman and sat there?

Did you help the poor pregnant woman in any way at all??? Or did you and the rest of the pricks on that bus just sit back and watch? Stand up for her, it's not hard! I have to do it all the time!! All you had to do was talk to the couple and/or the driver and it would of been resolved, rather than gossip about it here. Why can't some people ever stand up for someone else unless they''re dying? It's called Humanity. Learn it. Honestly, did you do ANYTHING about it? Did you help the poor pregnant woman in any way at all???

What makes it even more horrid is the fact that not one soul on that bus ever stood up for the poor woman. Society is in a very sad state these days if someone can't intervene in a situation like that. What a sad story.

She should have gone to the Attendant as soon as this scumbag was seen sitting in her seat so these people could have been embarrased by someone "in authority" and then be forced to give this poor woman back her seat. 3 more weeks of these assholes. Everyone's nerves are already shot. The Jitney Attendant clearly should have intervened; Jitney is full of Pricks galore, especially in August.

It was pretty full as we neared the final stop but not crazy (I managed to have my two seats to myself). A cute girl (maybe 16?) walks onto the bus and starts looking around. Her: "Excuse me sir, is someone sitting here?" Grumpy Rich Prick: "No" Her: "Oh! Great, may I?" GRP: "No", then raises his NYTimes so he doesn't have to look her in the face. Similarly:
