通勤人员的苦恼

A commuter always looks miserable.He gets up at 6:00 a.m. and eats a quick breakfast. Then he rushes off to the bus stop.He arrives there only to see no bus.When it finally comes,someone always tries to push past him to get in first.He squeezes on at last and finds no more seats.He has to stand with his briefcase between his knees-there is simply no room to put it down.A passenger next to him shoves his elbow in his ribs,step on his toes,or even drops cigarette ashes on him.

The conductor makes his way through the crowd and for tickets.The commuter looks for his ticket and drops everything clumsily.

Finally the commuter reaches his stop.He is already exhausted.
