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?

Oh fuck, that is like my worst nightmare, social-paranoia
style. I don't think i'd ever get on a bus again. Must've
been shit.

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.

Since I had to rride the bus everryday last yearr almost I
had no option. Until not long ago though, I'd only sit nearr
the frront on the old people seats.

I guess that's a decent compromise in a tight spot :-/

I'm liking the new buscemi avatar by the way.

Once I was sitting on the bus and had some bad gas. It was
really noisey and everyone turned and looked. I felt soo
ashamed...

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

there's nothing better than nipping in an out of heavy
traffic in rush hour than a 20 ton diesel powered traction
engine

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.
