Disruption of observation #1
I decided to disrupt the norms of my bus ride this time, and I must say this was quite uncormfortable. As I approached the stop there was people already there waiting so I decided to skip in front of all of them and wait right in front of the bus stop. This didnt cause that much commotion, but I dont believe they were really happy about this. Instead of listening to an ipod or talking on the phone I stood there and just waited and watched people. And of course as I watched them I got no eye contact, except for one person who looked at me for a brief second, and then turned away quickly trying to pretend that I didnt see them looking at me.As the bus approached I was already ready and prepared to get on, and I jumped right on not waiting for any passengers to get off first. As a result of this the bus driver told me to wait next time. As I got on I picked a seat right beside someone else with a bus full of empty seats. This person seemed quite aggrevated, and I knew that they didnt want anyone to sit beside them because they had their bookbag in the seat next to them, but I made them move it. So I tried to strike up a conversation with this person that I had already made upset. This did not go so well. Every question I asked they responded with a short and quick answer and didnt bother to ask me any questions. The ride ended and I got off the bus without telling the driver thanks. I know for sure know one will ever want me riding on their bus.
