Don’t let this happen to you…
From the words made famous by comedian Martin Lawrence and then popularized by a Youngbloodz ft. Lil Jon song, “don’t start no stuff, won’t be no stuff”
I know we all have those bad mornings where we feel the entire world is against us and you want to tackle/pimp slap the next person that glances at you funny, but this is a bad look for a few reasons:
- It’s never good to be a spectacle, you never know who’s around - could be someone you know, someone you want to know, or unfortunately as in this case someone that will put your business on YouTube for all to see.
- You don’t want to be cited, that’s going to make an already rough day turn into a nearly impossible feat.
- You don’t want to end up in the hospital. Fighting in general is dangerous, but fighting on a bus (specifically a muni bus) is a deathwish. It’s like trying to juggle knives on a rollercoster, nothing good can come from it other than an obituary.
So how to prevent this from happening to you?
- Remember, its JUST A SEAT and there’s always another bus coming.
- Be the bigger person. This tactic will get you out of more than one type of bind. Even if you come out feeling slightly embarrassed for backing down, just think of how bad you’d feel if you were either of the young ladies in the video above.
Keep it classy, live to ride the bus another day.
