A girl gets off
"Oh look she's one of those dwarf people, you know like on Snow White. It's a pity really that they are about,it can't be good for them being so short"

Bus pulls up to a stop

"Oh here's that woman with all the kids getting on, she has about 3(yeah loads) of them and it's really annoying cos the driver waits till she folds up the buggy, some of us are in a hurry, she should get a later bus. Her husband left her you know and now she's living in that big house, she should have moved out and let him live in it with his new wife, his new wife's Dr x's daughter you know, instead they have to live in a council flat, and her there, she has a really big swanky tv and she gets all those benefits and look at her, no wonder he left (by this time the woman ahd sat down and could hear what was being said""

Bus comes up to another stop
"Oh here's that ________ (I refuse to put teh word she used in) boy, I think it's disgusting that people like him are allowed out on their own. they have homes for people like him. What if turns on one of us on this bus and murders us, or rapes us. Well maybe not rapes cos he probably don't know what his bits are for".
of course the boy in question, knowing me, came and sat next to me and do you know what the person speaking did?
She tapaped me on the shoulder and told me I shouldn't mix with "his sort".

Now if his sort was a paedophile I could understand, but he's a lovely lad who haapens to have Down's syndrome.

This whole conversation was taking place really loudly - even after the mum with her "loads of kids" got on they were still talking about her.

Anyway, when she said that to me, I turned round and said really loudly "When I'm old I hope I have more compassion and I'm not as bitter and horrible as you seem to be".

What is with some people? This woman must have been late 70s at least.. I really did want to slap her - god knows what she said about me when I got off
