Ho viaggiato con la corsa delle 15:40 da Catania aereoporto a Messina . L autista x ben 2 volte e sto poco professionale e Cafone e MALEDUCATO . La prima ero a terra e volevo mettere uno zainetto ... Ho viaggiato con la corsa delle 15:40 da Catania aereoporto a Messina . L autista x ben 2 volte e sto poco professionale e Cafone e MALEDUCATO . La prima ero a terra e volevo mettere uno zainetto sul sedile x porre la valigia nel bagagliaio, mi subito aggredito di aspettare , fermo accanto al pulman cn la valigia in mano,senza chiedere permesso devo aprire il baule ancora arrogante . La più grossa ero seduto nel primo sedile avanti avevo sul sedile accanto poggiato lo zainetto che avevo preso le cuffie X il telefono, mentre lui faceva salire delle persone, bus semi vuoto tanti posti liberi, una signora mi fa: è tutto pieno mi posso mettere qui? Io le rispondo signora c’è un pulman vuoto perché ammassarci ??e la signora va sedersi dietro… a questo punto l’autista verso di me si messo a gridare a voce alta che io nnnmi dovevo permettere di occupare i posti che tutti hanno pagato il biglietto e hanno il diritto di avere il posto, io nn ho occupato il posto x nessuno avevo appoggiato lo zainetto .. nn le posso dire con quale arroganza maleducazione si è messo a gridare… N.B. Io nn sono un suo fratello , figlio o qualche altra persona che si può permettere davanti a tutti avere un comportamento così.. l’ho invitato a stare calmo che era troppo Nervoso , le ho detto che già x ben 2 volte è stato poco corretto cn me.. la sua risposta? Vi sarà anche la terza…questa persona nn so chi si crede di potersi comportare così ?? Forse perché è un autista SAIS???Educazione e rispetto , altra persona al mio posto lo mandava dal DENTISTA…XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
