From yesterday.
We're on the VERY CROWDED bus going home, and sitting across from us are two adults with two three-year-olds. And, I realize later, an open, empty stroller sitting in the aisle.
The two adults each take a seat. The two children each take a seat. The stroller is left open. It's fucking standing room only, those kids did not pay to ride the bus, and they each get a seat? WTF? When I was that small, I sat on my mom or dad's lap, or I shared a seat with my sister, or I stood (whining all the way, sure, but I stood). And I certainly wouldn't've been given a seat of my own if I could fit into the open stroller with no kids in it!
Stupid fucking rude people.
They didn't watch their kids, either. One of them kept trying to open the window, and was playing with the emergency handle. Would've been funny if she'd actually caused a siren to go off in the bus....

When they get confused and say something like "severely ill? No, they're fine..."
Then you say, Oh, I'm sorry - I just assumed since seats are usually reserved for the elderly or people with disabilities on crowded buses, and most kids have more than enough energy to stand up through a bus ride that yours must be severely ill for you to be having them sit through it.
