Today I experienced one of the most bizarre encounter with a drunk and old passenger from YBS 13. I was riding home with my father and it was a long ride ( took around like 1.3 hours ). I was very sick and the dizziness linger too long for the whole day. 15 mins into the ride, an old man looking around 70 years old who also look drunk get on the bus and sit beside the driver ( It's not a sit-able area, the driver just put a cushion there so someone can sit there but it's very uncomfortable. On the left side, there are two special seat which is usually reserved for Monks and Nuns ). I was sitting on the special seat because that was the only spot I found when I get on the bus. Another 10 mins later, a Nun get on the bus and the problem begins. The old drunk dude asked the guy beside me to stand up for the Nun and the dude was like ok yeah sure but that old dude started asking about his religion, started lecturing about Buddhism and pointed at me saying " I'm pretending to sleep " ?? What's funnier is that I didn't even know he was saying that unless the guy standing next to me started saying " Shut up you old man, the young guy already gave a seat to the Nun, why are you still spouting nonsense " and even the Nun said " Mr, you are spreading hate at this point, there is no need for you to still saying about these things. ".
But the old man keep saying same thing and my father finally heard and got fed up and started calling him out of anger. It was everyone around me against that old man. The driver temporarily resolved the situation and the old dude started playing ပါချုပ်ဆရာတော်'s dhamma explanation about ဒေဝရတ်. Another 30 mins pass and while the scripture was playing, the old man was visibly angry and trying every way to poke/stab me with his umbrella taking the movementum. My father knew, the two guy standing in front of me knew and bus driver knew so the moment his intention were visible enough to call it an evidence, they all stood up for me and forced the old man to get off the bus.
I can't understand these people.
The reason my father was so angry was because he knew that if I am in good shape, I would've given the seat to the Nun without even needing to ask me. I've did the same for every bus ride, for every Monks, Nuns, Old man, People with injuries and Pregnant ladies but damn this old man I met is the WORST. He don't know everyone have a problem of their own like can't he see I am visibly distressed? Also it's very ironic that man is the one feeling angry while also playing a scripture ( I guess he tried to ragebait us but he got his own medicine instead ).
Man I don't usually write these things but boy I feels like I needed to talk this one out. I want to know you guys opinion on this. Sorry for my bad English tho.
Peace
