[Financial News] A story has emerged about a middle-aged woman who had a loud, prolonged phone conversation on a bus, argued with the driver after being asked to stop, and even filmed him with her cellphone. There was also a claim that she spat on the bus floor just before getting off.
On the 23rd, a post titled "Video of a Woman Arguing with a Bus Driver" was uploaded to online communities, including Bobaedream.
According to A, the incident occurred on a bus operating in Gimhae City, South Gyeongsang Province. A middle-aged woman boarded the bus and continued talking loudly on the phone for an extended period.
Describing the situation, A said, "She talked loudly for a long time about an automatic payment, whether it involved a card company or a bank. It was extremely loud and unpleasant, but the other passengers seemed to be putting up with it."
The driver reportedly asked the woman several times to end her call, but she did not comply. When the driver finally said, "Please hang up the phone," the woman retorted, "How dare you raise your voice at me?" The argument between them then began.
A claimed that the woman told the driver, "If you're a bus driver, just drive. How dare you talk back to a passenger?" She also allegedly said, "People on the phone may not realize how loud they are, but don't order me around. Am I your servant?"
The woman reportedly also complained to other passengers. A said she made comments to the effect of, "Can't people make phone calls on public transportation?" and "If you don't want to listen, take a taxi or drive your own car."
The woman reportedly filmed the bus driver with her cellphone, saying, "You made me uncomfortable, so I'll report you to customer service."
In the video that was made public, the woman can be seen continuing to argue with the driver while saying, "If you're a public transportation driver, you only need to drive." Their argument continued until she got off at her destination.
A claimed that the woman even spat on the bus floor just before getting off. A said, "Public transportation is shared with others, so people need to observe etiquette and avoid inconveniencing those around them."
Viewers who watched the video responded, "What did the driver and other passengers do to deserve this?" "This is the very definition of turning the tables," "There is no consideration or public decency," and "Please, let's observe basic etiquette in public places."
