Lazy Passengers

When riding a jeepney, one of the things that you must expect is that you'll become the main man in terms of fetching your fellow passengers' fares especially if you happen to be near the driver and too many times I've fallen for this. There are times wherein I've just boarded the vehicle and the passengers will immediately start requesting their fares be fetched. Once you take one, other will soon follow and in the end, you'll find yourself being the last paying your fare. Some don't even have the decency to ask nicely as if though it is your obligation to give their fares. You can also hear no appreciation or thank you from most of these people. If you decide not to get their fares, expect a cold shoulder from some or see the not-so-friendly look on their faces. Have you experienced it? How do you deal with these persons?

Oh, this is one thing that annoys me sometimes when riding public vehicles.
Yes, it's fine to give that small favor (small favor eh) but sometimes people don't even know how to say thanks and even asks you to give their fare as if it is your duty (uh uh)
So,if possible I want to take the front seat when riding public transport.

Yeah, annoying is one of the words to describe them. I have reservations in taking the front because you'll be directly feeling the heat coming from the engine and most of the time, you'll find that the driver is smoking. The heat and smoke covering you entirely :)
