The last seat
As I was going down the escalator today, some guy rushed past me and heads to the same gate. With 4 minutes til departure, I’m now kicking myself for not running down the escalator and crossing my fingers that he isn’t going to get the last seat. I did NOT feel like waiting 25 minutes for the next one.
I hand my ticket over to the driver and, thankfully, he doesn’t say the bus is full. But as I start making my way back… there are no seats anywhere. Finally, I spot the last available seat. But escalator guy is still in front of me. He sees the seat. Middle of the last row, next to the bathroom, aka the worst seat on the bus.
By a stroke of sheer luck, he decides fuck it, he’s not sitting there, and he gets off.
I’ve never been so happy to have the worst seat on the bus.
