He got what he deserved


I once spent two years living in the little country of Denmark. For those of you that know absolutely nothing about the country no they do not speak dutch there they speak Danish. Also for your information they speak Dutch in Holland. That's a common misconception that is starting to get on my nerves because Dutch is a terrible language almost like a kid with a massive lisp trying to speak while hacking up a lung definitely not a pleasant sound. While in Denmark I spent many days riding around public transportation much like the one depicted in the picture directly above the text. Many Danes choose to take the bus to work because it is more  efficient and affordable. I also believe that many Danes use it as an excuse to feel more "Christian" almost as if they are helping there fellowing being by going green. I'm not sure how they came to this conclusion, but if it makes them sleep at nights so be it. 

One thing that must be realized about the Danish people is that they are a very orderly people. They like everything to be in it's place and surprises aren't commonly welcomed. Of course there are exceptions to this rule, but as a whole the Danish people like to be comfortable in their safe little lives. One faithful day while riding on one of these buses our bus driver must not have been paying attention and had a little blunder. He turned the wrong way on his assigned but route. You would have thought that George Bush had been elected as the Danish Prime Minister with the uproar that they put out about this wrong turn. Everyone besides me and one of my good friends put in their two sense about how stupid this man was for turning the wrong way.

Of course the man's mistake was corrected as soon as possible, but this required a three-point turn in a busy intersection. A few passengers on the bus decided that they would go out and direct traffic so that the beastly vehicle could turn around safely. The driver was obviously flustered because he started to pull away before these helpful passengers could reenter the bus. Yet another yelling session happened as the irritated people on the bus petitioned the bus driver to stop. He did stop and I will never forget what happened when the passengers entered the bus again. 

One man who had been left behind was extremely agitated and that was evident. His face was a shade of magenta as he yelled a stream of cuss words at the driver. I felt sorry for the man, but he did leave people who were already late for their jobs behind. As soon as the man had finished giving the driver a piece of his mind the already shaken driver proceeded to slam his foot on the gas pedal. The vehicle was then propelled in motion and the furious man was immediately thrown off his feet and his face skidded down the aisle of the bus. His glasses and suitcase were flown from his person, and when he rose to his feet long black marks were on his white shirt and pants. He was too angry for words at this point. I sincerely believed that he was going to explode. An audible gasp was emitted from all those in attendance, immediately following the gasp were spatters of laughter, mine included. It was just a little gift from above to see that tyrant get what he deserved.
