Actor–observer asymmetry (also actor–observer bias) explains the errors that one makes when forming attributions about the behavior of others (Jones & Nisbett 1971). When people judge their own behavior, and they are the actor, they are more likely to attribute their actions to the particular situation than to a generalization about their personality. Yet when an observer is explaining the behavior of another person (the actor), they are more likely to attribute this behavior to the actors’ overall disposition rather than to situational factors. This frequent error shows the bias that people hold in their evaluations of behavior (Miller & Norman 1975).
Just like when you go for some toilet paper in a public bathroom and end up taking a hot sticky load in the back of your throat, And just when you're about to leave, you kiss the tip and say "goodnight mom"
Since you're riding the bus, I can only assume that you're black, and you "people" sure do love killing each other. So just sit around be black, and then another black will take care of this problem for you soon enough.

One time I accidentally overpaid my ticket at the busdriver and realized it after exiting only.
Point is, you gotta look ahead and not let tragedy define your life, buddy!
