Bus Stop Philosophers

people who get off at my bus stop have a certain wisdom all too rare in the world today. people who get off at the bus stop before mine are doubtless idlers. people who get off at stops after mine have ways that are foreign and uncertain but one imagines idolatrous

A fictional social media post humorously divides passengers by where they get off the bus. Those leaving at the writer’s stop are portrayed as wise, while passengers before or after it are judged as idle or mysterious and possibly idolatrous. The joke parodies grandiose philosophical writing applied to an ordinary bus ride, making it useful as an ironic reaction to overthinking mundane situations.
