I never knew a mini skirt could be so offensive.
Today while boarding my usual bus to work I was assaulted by the sight of a very large woman in a very short skirt with her feet up on the seat adjacent to her so that absolutely nothing was left to the imagination. I can't blame her for not wearing leggings in the summer heat-- what I can blame her for is baring her rear end in the middle of such a public and already uncomfortably close place. After partially succeeding in ignoring this woman's butt, she shifted both her feet to the seat in front of her. This apparently was the last straw for the bus driver-- I can only assume he got a head-on view in his rear mirror (no pun intended). The stock Bus Lady voice (you know, the one that says "Please move to the rear of the bus" every morning on your way to school?) comes on to say "Please keep your feet off of the seats". The lady, now rather shocked, proceeds to lower her feet and put the rest of the bus at ease. Go bus driver.
The moral of the story is, even though I admire the confidence of this woman (in fact, of anyone who is comfortable wearing a miniskirt), you have to be careful about what you're wearing and what you're baring in public. Or bus drivers may get desperate and start programming "Pull up your pants" and "Please cover your nether-regions" messages into the Bus Lady's voice. Please don't make them.
