And the Chicken Lady strikes again

[wwcitizen]

This morning the chicken lady was sitting on my bus at the very front. I didn't notice she was there at first until someone across from her starting speaking loudly to her. She was talking back almost equally as loudly. Then I realized what was going on: The chicken lady had placed all of her bags holding her newspapers (and fried chicken legs) and she wasn't moving them. Many people walked past her seat after asking to sit there and she ignored them. Finally, the person across the aisle had had enough and asked her politely then angrily (when she didn't move her bags) to free up the seat for someone to sit. Seriously, we all pay the same $109 for our monthly passes and should be polite to our fellow commuters. She chooses not to be polite. Apparently, and I didn't know this, she does this every morning: she gets on the bus, plops herself and her baggage onto a double seat and doesn't budge for anyone. We in the front of the bus found this all out when she got off the bus at Port Imperial. Everyone around her and bacj four aisles started recounting their experiences with her and responses about her attitude and rudeness. A lady across from me looked at me and said (with a great northern NJ Italian accent and inflection), "Eh, what are ya gonna do? The bus drivah doesn't say anything, she's a miserable person, best that she gets off with all her bags. Such a shame."

Who knew others noticed her? I wonder if she knows that other people around her see her.
