surprised me

On the way back from Northamton with friends, one thing surprised me so much. I was on the bus in front of Wall Mart and bunch of pple were getting on the bus, Almost all carried a lot of stuff that were assumed that they got from Wall Mart cheaply. When one lady tried getting on the bus, suddenly a bus driver said " you can't get on the bus!! Please get off!" Of course the lady was pissed off and asked him the reason. The reason was because she had a full-size mirror. The driver kept saying that that was against the rules. I think he mentioned that mirror would be risky. It would be a distruction for the passengers. But the lady couldn't understand why she were not allowed to get on the bus. How could she get back to UMass without any transportation? She said she paid tuition, she has a right to get on the bus to go back to UMass! That's right. And also she said she couldn't find any rules on the bus about the carrying mirror thing. Eventually, they called 2 policemen and one of the other passenger asked them to give her a ride to UMass, caz the fucking bus driver was not gonna let her on the bus. Policemen checked where and which kinda mirror she got and they got on the policemen's car to go back to UMass. That was kinda interesting. I think the lady was so mentally strong. If I were her, I don't know, maybe would ask somebody to pick me up or return the mirror to get on the bus. But she kept arguing with the bus driver for half an hour. And also If it happened to me in Japan, what would I do? I couldn't stand that I kept everyone on the bus waiting for me if getting of the bus or not. I would feel guilty so much and then I would get off the bus. Some of them were saying that they had classes or someting about the time. But once the lady carring a mirror got on the bus, everyone was proud of her and gave her clapping! That's so American I guess. I've gotta be a good English speaker like her, I mean, argument if I live in this country.

ショッピングの帰りにバス停で沢山の人が乗ってきて、そのうちの一人が全身鏡を持ってバスに乗ろうとしたとき、事件は起こったって感じで、急にバスドライバーが、あなたは乗れません!ってゆいだして、もちろん、ゆわれた子はなんで?って感じになって、およそ30分の議論が始まった。すごかった><;授業料払ってるし、このバスに乗る権利あるとか、鏡わざわざ店に返せって?そんな面倒なこと、やってられんし!意味不明!バスさっさと乗せろ!みたいな会話が。で、結局は警察が来て、警察さんが、その鏡を持ってる女の子をUMassまで送っていった><すごい国です。おそるべしアメリカ人笑 なんだこりゃって思ったさ><;日本ではあまり考えられないことやし、と思って。。。こうしてアメリカは訴訟の国になっていくのだと再確認。てか目の前で見ると迫力あります笑 ははは。ユリもあの女の子くらい英語喋れたらな。
