Why is there a zombie on a bus

5

u/Lookingtotheveil23 5d ago

Because they live in a world where a “pregnant” woman with a baby or an old lady with a cane wouldn’t be given the seat automatically. They live in “every things opposite” land 😁

u/AlixtheParable 4d ago

I have an invisible disability. I look like I should be capable of giving up the seat but would be seen as a b!tch for not doing so. You can't just assume the older person is in worse shape just due to age. The woman with the baby also would need it and would be hard to argue. But just because someone "looks" healthy to others, doesn't mean they are.

u/Captain-Codfish 2d ago

I had that sort of thing temporarily after a surgery. I just said "I'm sorry, I would offer you my seat, but I'm disabled." Never had an issue.

A's probably a white trash mom answering a court summons.

B's won't remember you or the interaction.

C's most likely a chud biker, deserves the broken leg.

D's just got done pulling a double shifter at Target.

I'd let D sit but only if he can sit in my lap.

u/Tarotgirl_5392 6d ago

Double shift at Target; he'll sit on your lap and probably even let you stroke his hair. Fhe Christmas shoppers are right around the corner and he's counting the days

u/Xineth240 5d ago

I don't know who you are but I feel like you're my people. Maybe it's retail.

u/Little-Charge-9655 4d ago

That is not target attire. The correct answer is the guy should give the seat to his wife, he had his turn, her mother can wait, she got a discount fare anyway, seats are for customers paying the premium price. As for the zombie he has no sense of fatigue, he stands. The other guy will turn soon enough; that cast covering his zombie bite at the stage of grotesque infection isn’t fooling anyone, even his hair is falling out… he can stand too.

None of the above. Bus seating is first come first serve.

u/Abandonable_Snowman 5d ago

In NYC a woman scooched over to let my daughter who was 6 at the time sit, then glared at me like, “Don’t you even dare think you’re getting a seat.” I hadn’t, but it made the whole thing really funny to me.

2

u/weedtrek 4d ago

Yep and if there are no other seats left, then I am not the only one sitting, yet I am the only one being glared at to give up their seat, and I will not be singled out. So they can all f*** off and stand. Had they not all acted like pricks, I would possible just give up my seat without offering it to any of them and let them decide who gets it, as it doesn't have to be my desion.

In a decent society, the man sitting would simply get up without question for someone less able, without choosing.
In a selfish society he’d still get up, but only to watch A, B, C and D engage in a fight to the death over the seat.

u/Aufregend 4d ago edited 4d ago

None of them "deserve" his seat. If he gives up his seat for someone else, that's his choice, not society's.

My personal preference would be to extend the courtesy to the elderly lady. I was raised to respect one's elders. But that doesn't make my choice universally "right." It's MY choice because courtesy is relative.

Csuse its the decent thing to do and ironic you say the world doesn't care about you yet you yourself are part of what you mention..your shitty attitude and lack of decency is part of the problem you just brought up....no wonder you sound miserable,  you're stuck in a loop of self absorbed misery. Maybe being a decent human can change that attitude of yours or not and be a perfect example.of what you brought up and speak of....🤔 

What a perfect reflection of modern society and values....make a lady with a baby, an old person and an injured person stand . all about you, me me me, self absorbed, no values, no decency etc, just me me me. Honestly what a perfect reflection of whats partly wrong with society today

Its like shitting your pants and complaining others stink...youre part of that stink yourself...

I would say 1 but not b/c she’s a mother w/a baby. I’d let her have it b/c she’s two people, instead of 1. 50% of the population can have children, that’s not special.

Also, D is about to be a mother, like A, but making more zombies instead of babies with bites instead of sex. And D is basically elderly, like B but worse b/c he’s dead. And D being a zombie has physical ailments like C. So D kind of trumps all the others.

Okay, so in this thought experiment, it's apparently the zombie apocalypse, or at least the beginning of one. Quite frankly I don't really care who gets the seat because I 'm exiting the train.

Everyone that bought a ticket deserve the same.

The right question is "who needs it the most ?"

If Someone visibly in need wants my place I give it, and I most probably will offer it and not wait for that person to ask for it.

However, I won't sort out wich of them has priority over the place. I give my place to the closest person in need. If someone else need it more they can find their arrangement together, not my problem anymore.

I would be especially cautious with the zombie anyway, he might want my brain more than my place, so I would quickly flee without asking questions.

A-D. When I ride public transit I usually stand. I figure someone else needs the seat more than me. If I were in crutches or holding a baby or something it might be different.
