Jeepneys

Colorful jeepneys

Yesterday I went to 3 malls looking for a compressed air can (for cleaning my laptop), it's out of stock in all the places I went to.

I ran into 3 ugly events in one day.

1. A jeepney in southmall went the wrong way trying to get passengers and bumped the road blocks. The cop/traffic enforcer went face-to-face with the erring driver and got into a wild argument. I can't believe this driver, it's very obvious he did the wrong thing but he still argued with the police and mall guards.
2. I rode onto a different jeepney and about halfway to my destination a motorcycle crashes into the rear end of the jeep. The male motorcyclist has one female passenger ... without helmets, they apologized for bumping in and the jeepney rode away ... while typing a text message in his cellphone.
3. After I almost arrive at Alabang Town Center some passengers yelled "Para!" and got off immediately as the jeep slowed down. What's wrong there? There was a no loading/unloading sign, the jeepney driver with the cellphone told the passengers not to get down but the undisciplined passengers still went off despite the warning. The traffic enforcers flagged down the jeepney and asked for the license. They let the driver go after some talking and shouting.

What went wrong today? Jeepney's fault, passenger's fault, motorcyclist's fault. That's about Everyone! It's a maaadhousee!

At least something good happened at the end of the day, it was mildly raining and a lady offered me her umbrella... and that beef w/ onions and green peppers was good.
