Thank you SO much, riders of bus #44 traveling from sw to downtown….for being so impolite as to stare at an obviously 7-month pregnant woman while she stood up and held on for dear life, through bumps and brakes and turns….while you sat cozy in your seats….and STARED! Thankfully, most of you assholes exited the bus at 4th and Hall, and I was fortunate enough to be sitting after a tumultuous and pissifying ride down Barbur Blvd… your Mothers should have swallowed. They’d have saved a heck of a lot of money that way, rather than sending their extremely rude youth to expensive universities that, alas, do not offer courses in MANNERS.

  1. One: Pregnant women are burden to society and should be thrown into volcanoes.

    Two: If it didn’t occur to any of the slobs to offer a seat, she/you could have asked.

    Three: Sorry about part one, I’m almost mostly kidding.

  2. This person is full of shit, you want to get pregnant fine, but is isn’t like breeding makes you first in line for everything.

  3. Wow, this is kind of shocking. Whenever a handicapped or elderly person has boarded a bus I’m riding, people in the front, including thugs, drunks, and the morbidly obese, give up their seats immediately, without being asked. I can’t even imagine a group of people being callow and thoughtless enough to force a pregnant woman to remain standing.

  4. Maybe YOU should have swallowed.

    It’s breeders like YOU who’re the very damned reason buses like the #44 (and the #72, #15, #14, #56, #9, #12, #20, #33, #75, blue/red/yellow MAXes, etc.) are always so crowded in the first place! And you have the nerve to bitch b/c you had to stand for afew minutes?! Oh, boo hoo!

    Your little bundle ov future felony convictions is already doomed.

  6. obviously damosa, if anyone’s mother should have swallowed, it’s yours.

    you can thank all the breeders for having payroll’s to be taxed to provide you with your foodstamps. i mean, you can’t possibly hold a job…

  7. And you’re shocked why….quite a few people in that age group and others are selfentitled douchebags. I’m with Joeglibmoron on this to a degree but I have seen it. Nice of the rest of you to pile on a pregnant woman…oohhh you’re badass (more like assclowns). DamosA….just shoot yourself before YOU reproduce,please

  8. Dear Damosa,

    It’s pretty obvious you’re a virgin. And it’s VERY obvious that your being a virgin is not by choice. Women reject you. Men reject you. Hell, blow up dolls reject you. And I’m pretty sure your own hand rejects you.

    Knowing this, I can see why you would make such a comment. You see, if you actually COULD get laid, you would be a little nicer. You would probably be less uptight. And just MAYBE….. hell I dunno. I can’t speculate what would happen to you in the unlikely event you’ll ever get laid… by anything…. even a farm animal… but then again, you look like a farm animal. I’m pretty sure of it.

    So let me guess. You’re 40 something years old. Balding. Unemployed. Live at home with your parents. Your dad is ashamed of you. Your mother wishes she had swallowed when you were being conceived. Though I don’t feel sorry for your parents. They raised you. And taught you to be this way. Well.. I do pity them just a little. They had to raise you. And all you do is sit around and daydream about actually being something in life but the truth is you’re a complete failure. And you’re bitter. And this is why you would say something rude about a pregnant lady online where you can pretty much be anonymous knowing you’re safe in your parent’s home.

    Hell I’ll bet you’re one of them tight pants wearing hipster type. The one who likes to wear women’s pants. I think I’ve met you. You’re the guy with the tight chick pants and the pink underwear at the bus stop throwing a temper tantrum because everybody was laughing at you.

    Seriously, you pseudo Liberal, chick panties wearing, metro-sexual, virgin wanna-be hipster, please do something productive with your life. Please do something with your life that can make a positive difference in society. Do something good with your life… by ending it.

    I am The Bad Guy and I’m better than all of you.

  11. Here’s the thing:

    I wrote this post. Never do I feel “entitled” to be first in line for anything. I will gladly give up my seat on the bus for elders (people to be respected, regardless), folks of disability (no brainer), or anyone else with a seemingly compromised situation…still, while being large and unbalanced with a stomachful of baby. Truth is, for safety’s sake, I would like to sit down sometimes due to the sometimes erratic driving of trimet busdrivers. I don’t feel comfortable trying to shield my belly and keep my balance on a swervy, bumpy bus. On this particular bus, even the section in the front was inhabited by able-bodied, university-aged folks who also had the audacity to look annoyed when they had to stand for a wheelchair-using patron. Isn’t there some unwritten moral rule about having some compassion for folks who might be having a bit of a tougher time than you are, physically? This is my first child. I ride the bus to work and back, and for the sake of errands. I’m a cook. I’m on my feet all day anyhow…it’s not as though I’m living off of the state whilst popping out baby after baby. The point I was trying to make, and I’m sorry if it turned out a little angry for the liberal-fundie-progressive-because-it’s-cool-passive/aggressive types, was that I was disappointed that people don’t seem to offer any sort of a display of basic manners or personal responsibility. And yes, I encounter random displays of rudeness quite frequently and unwarrantingly in this area. (I’ve encountered better manners from people in the heart of Los Angeles…so take that, Portland….while many of YOU sit there feeling entitled.) Thanks for reading, and please try to set a better example as humans. Stop assuming things about others in all of YOUR assumed self-importance. Jeez…just be a good person.

  12. This is where society fails. I am not saying that because you are prego you should expect people to give you a seat I am saying that people should have wanted to give you there seat. It is just nice
