Stupid Guy of the Day in Macau
As I was taking the Transmac Bus no. AP1 to work in the morning, I didn't realize there's a Westerner at the back of the bus. If you are familiar with Macau, most buses are normally known as "minibuses" in HK. Thus, it was extremely crowded and standing room only. Suddenly, the guy started to move to the front of the bus, saying "Excuse me, excuse me..." all the while he looks outside. The bus passes by the Macau Ferry Terminal and then the bus stop at Fisherman's Wharf. All of a sudden the guy says, "Stop! Stop! Why does the bus does not have a f***ing bell, Jesus Christ!?". The bus driver looks around and says in Cantonese, "Did someone want to get off?". A passenger relied, "Yah, a gweilo!". I guess the guy wanted to get off at Fisherman's Wharf, but does not have the brain to see people ring the bell by pressing the metal strip on the top of the bus. Duh! The guy finally gets off the bus and still swearing, "god damn f***ing bus with no bell". The guy had a North American accent, predominately American... I figured he must be a guy coming in from nearby Zhuhai, as there are no Westerners living by Portas do Cerco or Iao Hon, which AP1 passes by before reaching my stop in Areia Preta.

lolz he seems pretty fed up, his fault for not knowing the bus-ing system.
I would never sit at the back if I know I'll be getting off early, especially if I don't know the place well! At least I'll tell the driver where I want to get off, or have someone to write out where I want to go beforehand... This guy will likely go on and complain about how bad the bus is, without thinking that he maybe at fault too.
To tell you the truth, I think he didn't realize the bus got so crowded. You rarely see buses so small; only in Macau! But what's the use in complaining and whining. I think the majority don't understand him at all, other than me! Haha. I kept my mouth shut as I was in a rush to get to work.
