Yesterday the horrible bus driver was on shift. I don't mean she's a horrible driver (although she's not a good one), but she's horrible to people. She will pass people at bus stops for no reason, she will yell at passengers and berate them for not sitting the right way, and she is just plain rude. An old lady got on the bus and I offered her my seat. She said thanks, but she would rather stand. The driver slammed on the brakes and told her in no uncertain terms that she was going to sit. The lady responded with the fact that she's 70 and can take care of herself, which set the driver off on a rant about "stupid old cows who are going to get killed, which is not her fault." That's a direct quote.
I immediately got up to talk to the old lady and help her find a seat, which she was okay with. I was angry with the bus driver, so instead of going home as planned I rode to the terminal and put in a complaint. I have heard this driver say several things that are similar, but none quite as mean as yesterday. I don't know if she will be fired or put on probation, but either way I hope my complaint changes the way she treats people.
Today I finally put an ad online for the abandoned cat on m street. I was putting it off because we were talking about adopting him. He's good with the kids and very affectionate, but that still doesn't change the fact that it's a health risk for us. My husband's allergic and the kids have asthma, so I posted an ad for someone who can give him a good home. The poor thing shouldn't be sleeping outside, and we can't let him in here for the night.
Those were my kindnesses for yesterday and today. Tomorrow I will give some banana bread to someone. I have the urge to do that soon.
