Today I felt this weird sense of pride in Brooklyn, weird because I’m not from here. I’m on the B1 coming to work and this, I’m guessing, Eastern European guy gets on. No change and no metrocard. The driver tells him to get change from someone on the bus, so this babushka (older Russian lady) and myself start fishing and counting and just give it to him so he doesn’t get left in the rain. He sits and watches. Latina gets on carrying her nina, and the stroller, babushka grabs the stroller, ajashi (older Korean man) gets up so she can sit down and I grab the change she fumbles with to give it to the driver. All of this is automatic, and I hope he notices so that the next time he reads a nasty post about this place, for example some moron referring to it as a group home without the meds, he knows better.
He may want to mention however that yes it would be a lot better if the 99 cent stores stopped issuing driver’s licenses.
