After the publicized drama at the Panevėžys bus station, the appeal of a passenger: Maybe it’s time for the elderly to learn something for themselves

“One of the happy young people is writing to you, on February 1st. (then the events described in the article took place) In Panevėžys, there was room for a bus going to Vilnius. It is true that I am 37 years old, I do not know if I am very young. And when I clicked in and sat down, the tearful, pleading drama described in your article began outside the window, ”he recalled the beginning of the story.

According to the man who was going to take a bus to Vilnius that day, he needed to go to work, because while working from home, he stayed in Panevėžys.

“And where did my passengers go? I don’t know, maybe to the Santariškės clinics to solve health problems? After reading your article and the comments of the aforementioned witness, I did not understand what we did wrong, except that we are not yet of retirement age. And that became a reason to be embarrassed and ridiculed. “

The man was even more ironic about the irresponsible behavior of his elders and shared how he had behaved when he learned that he would have to return to work in Vilnius.

“Let me be a bit ironic, as the witness to the event allowed in his article. I found out that I would have to come to work on February 3, I already had an e-ticket on the 4th. If I had gone to such a trivial thing as surgery, I would hardly have dealt with the ticket in advance. It’s good that I’m young, I was born already paying for things like that, and I can easily buy an electronic ticket. It’s even easier than buying a house – I heard there used to be such good times when you didn’t even have to buy a house – I would get “gifts” just by standing in line. Oh, to be older.

And now! It would be fun if it weren’t for the grain. Older people have time but do not want to learn or find other ways to get out of everyday problems. It is more convenient to constantly blame others for not adapting everything to them. And we young people are constantly flying, constantly learning something and trying to keep up with innovations, and if we don’t understand something, we can only blame ourselves. Because if you really need it, you can find anything online in seconds. And we pay to use the Internet, not like older people. “

The passenger tried to remember when he first paid more attention to the bombardment of older people and did not skimp on irony.

“Perhaps when televisions without a PAL decoder stopped sometime around 2000. A frequent old man in my town almost considered it a personal insult to stop displaying his box in his thirties, but as a new-looking box (because when he doesn’t , cover the screen in a drawer). I remember everyone complaining that local electronics master Stanislaus was already stealing a lot from me for installing a set-top box, but I don’t recall anyone ever complaining about the price of vodka in a country store.

Seniors, please read and note that the saying “there is nothing left but to take a taxi” is neither terrible nor humiliating. It is only a way of traveling when you don’t have other ways or you don’t take care of them. Many people would like to drive their own car, but “there is nothing left but to get on the bus,” the man said.

He called manipulative behavior by “crying and begging,” but didn’t want to expand on it.

“I think you know the rule ‘order is order’.” You had to think about the safe distance not only when boarding a taxi, but also when they collided next to each other at the door, despite the driver clearly and politely explaining that he could not accept any more passengers.

Finally, the current issue is vaccination against the coronavirus. The article claims that one of the women, as an oncology patient, received a second coronavirus vaccine and had to go to Santariškės as a result. Is the procedure really such that one of the risk groups, cancer patients, has to travel to half of Lithuania due to the vaccine? Very strange. For what reasons can they not be vaccinated at the institution of their place of residence? ”He asked rhetorically.

We remind you that in the described article from “Sekundė” it was said that on Monday morning (February 1) some of the people from Panevėžys who rushed to Vilnius left nothing. A bus from Šiauliai via Panevysžys to the capital closed the door in front of them. While some women tried to soften the driver’s heart with pleas and tears, they were not allowed to enter.

At the Santara clinics, they were already scheduled for surgeries and doctor visits. For cancer patients, there was nothing left but to take a taxi. Residents of Panevėžys, who became observers of the extraordinary event, did not hide their outrage that people of respectable age were forced to deposit a lot of money for taxi drivers and forget the risk of contracting a dangerous virus: a taxi went to the capital in five .
