Passenger's seat

oceanebelle · Aug 31st, 2006, 09:28 AM

So, after a harrowing day at work i got out early (a rare instance in its entirety) because i was having a headache.

So I waited for a couple of minutes for the jeepney to arrive (in cebu jeepneys go by route). Usually when i have time, I wait until I find the passenger's seat beside the driver is not taken (all others are seated on two long benches crammed at the back of the jeepney.
So I wanted to sit properly while going home. Somehow, I rode a jeepney in which the driver has some outspoken ideals about love, life, and lust. Now don't take this in a bad way. I am just about to explain.

He asked a few questions, and it seems he is a nice fellow (did not ask for my name, instead my lastname). So he asked me where i work, where i live, what i do with my life... He then proceeded to tell me about marriage and the path i should take. All this time, I was laughing/grinning for no reason because I just find it hilarious... I don't go around preaching, and I don't think it's a bad thing but the audience should be receptive of those ideas as well.

To sum it all up, first he was telling me that I should not haste into marriage (he was assuming I had a boyfriend), because of how high the price of meat nowadays and all that crap... So I told him, i don't have anyone to marry in the first place. His reaction was one for the oscars, he said "what?!! a pretty girl like you, not having a bf? I don't believe it." (hehehe) He then went on to say, that I am of the 'right' age and it should be the time of my life to 'marry', I should go out and search... So I laughed all the more.

Funny how people can switch from two extreme ideas if presented with i dunno what! I just answered and commented here and there so that he'd stop... but i was wrong. At one point he was even sad that i might end up hooking up with a married guy simply because i commented that "Good men in my age, if they are really out there, are either on a relationship or are already married." His imagination was running away with him. He even told me that, before I get myself pregnant I should make sure that I should at least make the guy drunk, so that i can make sure that he is does not have a heavy hand when he losses his wits on spirits.

Quite the chatterbox, he kept chatting the entire 15 mins.
I even noticed he missed some passengers on the way because he was talking way too much and he was not paying much attention to the road as well. I did not have a long laugh as that one, talking to a stranger. Towards the end, he told me that most of his passengers are amused of him and thankful of his 'teachings' by the time they get off his vehicle... Hehe, he was right though, i was glad we arrived to my stop earlier than expected (despite heavy traffic rush hour). Good Riddance!

Lesson of the story and i am surprised I did not think of this earlier, I should have told him I am a lesbian. (joke joke) LOLz.

You probably would have gotten an even worse lecture on the evil path you have taken.

hairball · Aug 31st, 2006, 09:33 AM

his lectures are not that unique. i almost get similar uh.. conversations.. but mostly monologues from them.

Actually there will be a quite an awkward pause because of shock. I doubt he'll be continuing his "lectures". Luckily, oceanebelle will be off before he can speak.

mendhak · Aug 31st, 2006, 12:04 PM

I'd get on one of those and take pictures of the losers who'd rather walk than get on one of those.

Static · Aug 31st, 2006, 12:20 PM

Heh, I doubt you'd think that ONCE you see the road conditions here.

You'd want to escape the sidewalk you'd even opt to ride a pig-smell infested transport just to get to some place if one of these "king of the road" vehicles are not around.

It's a national symbol and the widely used mode of transportation here in phils. Though, Jeepneys are now being replaced buy trucks converted to function as one but not look like one, called jeep. Those surplus trucks from other countries. It's a shame but i prefer the jeepney.

The beauty of the 'real' jeepneys are the eclectic colors they sport. The real ones usually have extravagant decorations both in and outside the vehicle. Some even showcase the different natural scenery in phils.

. You'll never see any other kind of vehicle that shouts at your senses like the jeepneys do.

In one of the episodes of the Amazing Race, if any of you people are familiar with it, one of the roadblock was finishing the decorations a half done jeepney, then drive it to some farm on the mountains.

hairball · Aug 31st, 2006, 08:15 PM

I don't think they are considered as sidewalks. It's sideroad!

Shame it's not real. Good photoshop job though

(the coat of arms on the bus's left side says "Since 1952")
(the edges of the bus on the last picture are far too straight and crisp to be real)

mendhak · Sep 4th, 2006, 04:05 AM

Since 1952 is their bus logo, not Firefox. Looks pretty real to me, they've gotten the logo wrong. Which makes it real enough.

Valleysboy1978 · Sep 4th, 2006, 04:08 AM

look at the edges of the last photo. Even a new bus hasn't got edges like that, it's razor sharp!?!

they can make it razor sharp. it can slice you into pieces!

Hey, even bus drivers need to shave!

(Yes, yes, too sharp are the edges)
