I am pissed!!!!

It rains a lot here in the Philippines. It is afterall the start of the rainy season. What actually pisses me off is not the fact that it rains a lot and that it is doubly hard to commute to and from work. What actually irks me more than all the discomforts the rain brings is the insensitivity of some people. The other night, I was on my way home from work, I had to battle a particularly strong thunderstorm. I usually take the bus since it was a lot faster. I noticed that the bus was almost filled to capacity and since it was raining hard, the windows of the bus were closed so the rain wouldn't drench the passengers. It was warm and stuffy inside. I noticed that the woman sitting next to me was travelling with a child of about a year or two. You could just imagine that the heat in the bus was hard to bear for adults, I can hardly imagine how hard it was for the child. Then the unforgivable happened. The bus was suddenly filled with the smell of cigarette smoke. I looked around and noticed this guy who had no regard for other passengers and was smoking his lungs out! And the child could hardly breathe! I mean while it is hard for us who were not smokers but imagine how it must be for the child! Out of pity, I opened the window near me (since the child and the mother were sitting next to me. I didn't care if I got wet for as long as we could at least breathe fresh air. I kept throwing angry glances at the guy. I actually wanted to throttle him! These people have no regard for others. There is a law against smoking in public utility vehicles but that is all it is- A LAW! Something should be done about this!
