Soaked

With the weather finally starting to warm up here in Winnipeg, the snow is slowly melting. Which means that there are some pretty big puddles forming on the roads. These puddles seem to be unavoidable for the buses and they often splash people walking on the sidewalks.

I've seen it a few times where people get splashed and I imagine it sucks, just walking along minding your won business and then all of a sudden BAM! your soaked. Unfortunately after a few seconds I forget about it and I get on with my day. But the next time I saw someone get soaked I would not forget about it.

I was on the bus heading home, the bus was pretty packed so some people were standing. I was sitting at the back of the bus like I always try to do. It was a warm day and someone that was sitting closer to the front had their window open. The bus came to a stop and picked some people up. I looked out of my window and noticed that the bus had stopped right in the middle of giant puddle, but I didn't think any thing of it. Just then a giant truck flew by the bus and sprayed the bus, and the people that were sitting near the open window. A women yelped as the water hit her. A man jumped up and inspected his backpack. Sitting in the back of the bus was a young man who didn't get a drop on him giggling. I felt bad for the people in front obviously, but come on if you saw that you would laugh a little too right? No. I'm the only ass hole that would laugh at that. Okay fair enough.

Any way I learned a lesson from this, when it's wet out keep your window closed. And also keep an eye out for big trucks driving fast.
