And/or send a transit officer through the train every now and then for reasons other than checking for fare payment? When the officers are a little more visible, people's manners will also become more visible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563354026189149328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-51686538840330220882014-07-31T17:44:27.590-04:002014-07-31T17:44:27.590-04:00I apologize for my freak out.

They're not harming anyone. They're probably more comfortable speaking in that language because that's what they were brought up on. If you were in a different country with a friend, would you have a private conversation in the native language of that country? I highly doubt it. So what if they're in Canada now? You don't know that they don't speak English at all. Hell, they could fluent speakers and writers. Nothing pisses me off more than ignorant people passing judgement on others because of the language they speak. What does it matter to you?V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-59384810500222287502014-07-31T09:13:28.766-04:002014-07-31T09:13:28.766-04:00Typical smoker...world revolves around them.

Last Friday I took the early train home and watched the kid across from my put his feet up on the seat, his Dad sitting right next to him. I so wanted to say something but tact when I am pissed is not my strong point and the Dad looked a little rough so I didn't chance it, besides looking around there were a few other foot riders so I was out numbered. Instead I stewed and left the train disgusted once again with how some parents do not teach their kids any manners.<br />Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747774356428753615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-56572333488901053972014-07-31T08:44:37.467-04:002014-07-31T08:44:37.467-04:00GO security just wants us all to be safe and leave...GO security just wants us all to be safe and leave the nasty confrontations to them and that's ideal when they're around but when they're not, confrontation is risky. I mean, even polite confrontation has caused people to stand up, rip off their shirt and wage war. <br />For many people, they just don't want to deal so they stay quiet, snap a photo and send it to me.C.J.

Perhaps they were simply amazed that you do it for free. Because its the right thing to do.<br /><br />Keep smiling CJ!Skin Mannoreply@blogger.com
