Changed my mind about bus etiquette after a guy on the 42 told me off
I used to think it was fine to stand in the doorway of the bus while people got off, like a little squeeze wouldn't hurt. Last Tuesday on the 42 through downtown, this older guy with a briefcase stopped right in front of me and said 'You're the reason we're all late, buddy. Let people out first.' He didn't yell, just said it flat and walked off. I stood there for a second and realized he was right. I'd been holding up the whole line for months without thinking about it. Now I step back every time and the flow is way faster. Has anyone else had a random passenger call them out? How'd you take it?

Admitted I was that guy for a while too, but honestly hearing it straight up like that kinda woke me up. It's one of those small things that makes a BIG difference once you actually do it.

Yeah it was the same for me. I just started making a point to look people in the eye when they talked and put my phone down. Felt weird at first but after a week it just clicked and conversations got way easier.
