Why is it that we all stand evenly spaced staring forward waiting for the employee bus like we're in the 'City of Angels' movie? So creepy!

I started my day with a boat load of coffee and 2 episodes of 'comedians in cars getting coffee' and now I'm in this reflective mood about my life in lax at compass. I have more reflective questions I'll post today...

And then all those people who showed up last second in the back will decide to walk in front of you to get in the bus first. But just because they got on first doesn't mean they'll move. No they'll stand right in the middle door blocking the luggage rack and forcing others to squeeze through to the other areas of the bus. Or better yet they'll SIT in the luggage racks and mumble some crap under their breath when you ask them to move. And don't even get me STARTED on the TSA employees on the bus. The LAX employee bus is by far the worse thing about this job.

And what's up with the person who shoves their way forward when you get dropped off as if they are the only ones getting off!

Shoving person: "can you move? This is my stop"

Oh I'm sorry, didn't realize you were the only one trying to get off!

Or the people waiting at the stop and once the doors open shove their way in all the while I'm trying to leave and hold 2 bags while trying to put on my ALL GLORIOUS HAT. It's like a salmon swimming upstream.

aw heck naw. I will stand there and stare at them while blocking the door till they move. Literally nobody is getting on or off that damn bus until you learn some bloody manners, little miss airserv person.

I use the blitzkrieg approach and just use my handy luggage works bag and put it in front of me and force my way through. Might even leave a comment on Luggageworks website that it works like a cow catcher when plowing through opposing G2 employees.

And what about the guy who sits and watches you exit the parking lot?? I just want to know what that interview was like...

Interviewer: I see your background and qualifications really meet the needs of this position. Are you able to sit with a glazed look for several hours. Are you well-versed in the use of Netflix on your phone?

I never see them using ear protection either. Constant heavies flying over at 200 feet for 8 hours must cause long term hearing damage. But I guess it's better than whatever job they used to have.

I always say "this is my stop, too" while performing a blocking maneuver. BobbyLeeSwagger, this is why you don't need that Hydroxycut! Size matters when it comes to intimidating those who don't understand bus manners.
