I live in Indy on the southside. I'm one of those lucky ones who live close enough to an IndyGo route that I can take the bus downtown to work and back and generally ride the bus the days it's either too cold or wet to ride my motorcycle.
Anyway, it's common knowledge that IndyGo doesn't make change on the bus. If the fare is $1.50 and you don't have two quarters, you just put in $2 and sit down.
So this lady gets on, doesn't have exact change, puts in $2 and expects the driver to make change and stands there just going off about it. He eventually reaches in his pocket and gives her .50 just to get to shut up and sit down.
She finally does, but sits there for the next five minutes just tearing the guy up, saying how he's probably just mad because Obama won (he's the only white driver I've seen on this route) and goes on and on about how Obama's gonna change things... just you wait and see...
I sat there thinking about how ignorant and racist this woman actually is. Assuming since the guy's white, he's a conservative. I almost pointed out the fact that since he's a public transportation driver, he most likely belongs to a union, which probably supported Obama.
It simply amazes me how brainwashed and ignorant many people in this country really are...
