People are Jerks
Just when I am starting to have faith in mankind, that we are basically good, comes a smack upside the head from the gods that screams 'Liz, you dumbass, people are assholes.' Getting off the train this morning, there is the usual throng of people waiting to buy muni tickets, myself included. In the middle of this throng is a man who is obviously blind (HELLO? DID YOU NOT SEE THE CANE??) and he's confused. Doesn't know where to put his money and keeps waving his dollar around. Does anyone stop to help him? No! They just walk around him or shove him out of the way so they can get their fucking tickets. Finally, it's my turn, of course the man is still standing there, so I basically buy his ticket for him then guide him to the platform. At one point the guy almost wanders off the platform and people just look on. Once on the train, he asks if this car stops at Market and California but nobody answers.

What is wrong with people? Are we all so self important that we can't help a blind man get on the streetcar? Obviously yes. So, dear readers, take a look around you and if someone needs help, don't shove them out of the way, help them! You'd certainly want the same if you were in the blind man's shoes.
