An Exasperated Passenger

An Exasperated Passenger

The other day, I, along with one of my friends, was going to our college by bus. After getting on the bus, the conductor of the bus came to us to receive the fare and we paid it. Meanwhile, one of the passengers sitting on our nearby seat began to shout. From his words, we all came to know that his purse has been stolen. Surprisingly enough, initially, he suspected that the conductor had picked his pocket. Without any delay, the conductor's pockets were checked, but the purse was not found. The passenger, however, would not stop screaming at the top of his lungs. He still accused the conductor of stealing his purse and would not listen to the conductor's pleas to stay calm and sit down. He also kept saying that he had not stolen the purse. But the passenger would not listen and went on screaming. To make matters worse, he took the conductor's cell phone and declared that he would get it back only when his cell was returned. Finally, an elderly passenger angrily stopped the man from shouting and asked him to remember if he had left it at home by mistake. He also asked him to stop accusing the conductor, even after checking him for the purse. After a while, the passenger had to return the cell phone back to the conductor. We were all irritated with the passenger's behaviour.
