Riding a jeepney is an adventure itself. You never know if you’re going to meet an old friend or get an update on last night’s episode of Ruby. But there are things that people do that annoy you and ruin your morning. I did an informal survey and here’s the top five:
1. Passengers ignoring you when you’re handing your fare. (Come on guys! It’s not my fault that public transit is this way.2. Breastfeeding babies in jeepneys. (I admire mommies who breastfed kids but there’s a reason why formula milk or breast pumps are invented.)
3. Girls who don’t have the decency to tie their hair even if it means hitting the person next to them with their hair strands. (You’re not in a TV commercial girls!)
4. Taking a lot of space. (The minimum fare is only 7 pesos. Some people sit as if they paid 14 pesos).
5. Passengers talking loudly. (Not everyone is interested in your life or your frenemy’s life!)
