Subject: RE: BS: I shouldn't have said it...
I guess I missed if she was 19 or not..but how would you know. I would not engage with a teenager at all period if I was a man especially..they can make up stuff, have their friends confirm it etc. I would talk to the bus driver and maybe change seats, although then of course she won if she was game playing...but perhaps if enough people report bad behavior, the bus drivers will get wise to certain of their passengers.
Try not to sit next to a teenage girl...I am of the school that thinks men should sit next to men and women next to women and I am aggravated when a man sits next to me when there are vacant seats next to men...same goes with airplane seats. There is more proximity there than I would expect on my honeymoon...
Behavior on buses, especially by teens, is sometimes intolerable. Sometimes also it is abuse of the elderly, child abuse if they have to listen to awful stuff, and definitely often sexual harassment if people are forced to listen to graphic descriptions of their fun times. Make careful notes. Send to the bus company. A lot of drivers do not want to be involved..can't say I blame them. mg
