I was on a bus, on my way home when the driver executed a 2-stage E-brake.
Maybe I had prior bad experiences in not bracing myself; maybe I just wanted to act cool and not be jerked forward unglamorously; I placed both my palms against the rail in front of me.
The 2nd stage caught everyone by surprise. Even seated passengers slid forward. Standing passengers tumbled into human bodies.
A reckless cyclist was the cause of this. He had recklessly cut across our path. An elderly man who had fallen to the floor was giving angry words to the driver, accusing him of lying and acting. The driver didn't bother defending himself; some passengers who had witnessed the event was echoing the real cause aloud but the elderly man either did not hear or did not wish to apologise. After getting silent confirmations that everyone was unhurt, he got back to driving his bus.
It is good to see people acting to help. It is bad to see people not taking responsibilities for their actions.
