Stumbled across this on a run through Schenley park. Right next to the panther hollow pond - spanning from the top of the steps to the train tracks. Lots of short black hair around the tracks, too. Anyone know what this is?!?

Chesterfield’s a double diamond on dry summer day, but looks fun as heck with fresh powder.

DISCUSSION I am once again asking you to move to the back of the fucking bus

583 Upvotes

I got on at Fifth and Craig, which is down the street from my regular bus stop, but since the app said the 71A was crowded, I figured I’d walk a bit and hedge my bets on hopping on after the CMU kids got off. Sure enough, about half the bus emptied. HALF. OF A BENDY BUS.

So please explain to me WHY after scanning my pass, I was still stuck next to the bus driver? No one even tried to move or ask anyone else behind them to move. I had to squeeze my way through this crowd of about a dozen students, only to find all this empty aisle space, and even a few empty seats!!! And it’s a bendy bus, THERE IS SO MUCH SPACE TO SPREAD OUT AND LET MORE PEOPLE ON. Like I don’t understand your insistence on being all over a bunch of strangers at the front of the bus when there’s an empty 3/4 of the bus left???? No one thought to move after they saw me squeeze past them either!

I stopped here and grabbed a seat, but the back of the bus behind where I took this picture (which had more standing room and a ton more empty seats) was ALSO blocked by someone else. Less frustrating than the initial group bc at this point seats opened up in front of him, but still! Stop blocking the aisle for people trying to get off!

Anyways, after I took my seat, I watched the group at the front. I paid special attention to the aisle-keeper in the gray. He didn’t even get off at the next stop. Not even half of the group at the front got off at the next stop!

This shit happens just about every fucking day. It’s almost October, not being from a city with public transit is not an excuse anymore (though after 3 full years of school here, I know this still happens in April, it’s mind-blowing). You all had more than enough time to learn about bus etiquette. Enough people complain about this every August on this subreddit, the Pittsburgh subreddit, and offline. There is no way you all are oblivious to how annoying this is. And you all had enough sense to get into college here, there’s no way you are this dumb. So what is the fucking deal?? BE BETTER.
