A middle-aged man was allegedly kicked out of bus No. 147 yesterday because he supposedly “smelled bad,” according to a Facebook user.
In a video clip, taken yesterday by user Kanompiekpond, bus No. 147 stopped temporarily on Rama II Road so that the driver could walk to the back of the bus. After talking to the conductor, the two shout towards an unseen man and tell him to get out of the vehicle.
“Are you getting out or not? Just get out!” the driver is heard saying in the video.
The woman who posted the video wrote that the middle-aged man was kicked out because of his bad smell and told to catch the next bus.
The user further explained that the “smelly” man finally got off the bus when the driver took the man’s bag away from him and brought it off the bus, but she could not capture that moment because she had an incoming call.
Many netizens added comments to this viral video that has over half a million views.
“I don’t know which side I should take, but the man should have taken a bath. You should be considerate to others. Still, the driver and the conductor should have returned his bus fare if they kicked him out,” said user Meena Sarapao.
“They could have been polite and asked him to get off the bus nicely. He would have been so embarrassed and willing to go! Why the hell did they have to yell?” wrote Little Art.
Another comment agreed with the bus operators that we all do not need to tolerate someone’s bad hygiene.
