CIJSAIJBH--
You were a very nice guy when I boarded. You even addressed me as "sir".
When I got off, however, even though you were parked at the curb, you had to keep moving the bus, stopping and starting again, just to get maybe two inches closer. I pleaded with you not to, since I was only holding one bar, and your right arm was in the way of my being able to grab another handle with my right arm. But every time I began to speak up, you spoke over me. I damn near fell.
Then, as I exited, you said "God Bless You.", to which I responded, "I'm an Atheist", to which YOU replied something like "I can say whatever I want".
I left it there, because you seem like the type that wins arguments at all cost. But if I were to be brutally honest, I don't respect the free speech of people that are on the clock, at least in that profession. I think you need to try to be more neutral. You really challenged me not to have my mood ruined for the night after having a great night at the softball game vs. Fresno State.
