They're usually really stressed out and full of hate, but I found one today who was really nice. I walked up the bus and he followed me. I turned around and he was holding my ticket, which I had forgotten to take. He gave it to me and winked, then left the bus to be replaced by another. He even said good bye to everyone in a cheerful fashion :) Smiles all around.

Did you ever have nice bus drivers when you were in school? What's the funniest, nastiest thing that happened while riding the bus?

I smacked my head on a pole twice on a bus. It hurt so much, I made a noise when contact was made. Life is good.

You should have just looked at some old lady in a dirty cardigan nearby and shook your head in disgust.

I don't travel on the bus as much as I used to, thanks to now working from home.
I was on the bus into Nottingham one morning when some bloke seemed to just pass out and fell into the aisle. An ambulance was called and the paramedic shouted at him 'COME ON NOW, GET UP!', at which point the guy clambered to his feet and was led off.
I also remember one winter when it had been snowing and it literally took the bus 2 hours to travel just 2 miles. Nobody seemed to mind though, probably because they would rather sit on a bus than actually be at work. Anyway, the driver let people get off and go to the shop to buy drinks etc, even went himself at one point. I got the feeling that everybody's heart sank when the traffic un-jammed.

When I was at school I used to catch the bus. The driver was a really old guy and we nick named him Flash. He used to stop at the bus stops wait until you were nearly at the door then drive forwards a few feet, just to piss you off. I really liked him because he had an evil sense of humour and would tell kids that they couldn't ride the bus because they were too ugly and that they would have to wait for the ugly bus.
When he retired we all pooled our money and bought him a gift, he cried when we gave it to him. (I forgot what it was)

Hahaha he sounds awesome.
And on a side note -----> I was on the bus the other week in blazing sweaty heat with a stinking hangover after the worst day at work ever... the bus got stuck for half an hour or so at a set of temporary traffic lights that wouldn't shift off red. I felt like i was going to die.

My bus driver as a kid was a black dude named Tony. He used to dress up as Mini Mouse on Halloween. He was pretty laid back, sometimes we went nuts and he would yell at us to sit down or something, or when we wrote shit on the windows when they fogged up. You could easily see his eyeballs when he was looking at you in the rearview mirror, and get away with throwing someting at someone else, throwing something out the window, or giving cars the middle finger.
