I’ve been spending some time on the Hampton Jitney and I’ve
seen some disturbing behavior.
What is about the Jitney that makes people so ill mannered? The pretzels? Is the juice not up to their
liking?
One woman could barely get a thank you out of her mouth.
When asked if she’d like water, she answered, “Make it two.” No “please”, no “thank you”. Her daughter’s
made herself comfortable with her feet on the seat; the soles of her flip-flops
were filthy. Note to self – no white
jeans on the Jitney. The attendant came through a couple of times with a trash
bag, you wouldn’t have known for all the empty bottles, newspapers, and wrappers
she and her daughter left behind.
On another trip, I sat across the aisle from a father and
son. The father was dressed casually chic, the son quietly focused on his
iPad. When they got off the bus, the
mess they left behind, was, well, a mess. (See photo) I shudder to think of what their housekeeper
meets every time she walks into their home.
Could it be that it’s the least expensive of all the coaches
in the Jitney family that makes people forget their manners? Do they have them in the first place?
I don’t think so, I think it’s about people who are used to
having others pick up their mess without ever expressing gratitude or
appreciation. It’s enough to give you the jitters.

Wow that reminds me of the Long Island rail road. Same circus another tent. It's really amazing how clueless people are in public spaces.
