Things We Hate

[Magic]

Wtf, how do you not know that 'single' means a single journey and not a return journey? Is this a north/south divide thing? In London you'd have been thrown off the bus for that error, sending your flatcap flying (not least because you should have been using your Oyster).

Because when you've asked for a day ticket (unlimited travel), the word 'single' had a different meaning in my head, old chap.

Here they always wait for you, even if you're nowhere near the bus. So then you have to do that awkward half run/half walk thing that makes you look like a bit of a prat.

For some reason the council gave her another 3 bedroom house about 10 miles away. Turns out she moved next door to my mates sister and her husband who has already had to chin her new boyfriend for anti social behaviour Her kids caused so many problems in the few weeks they've been there that the residents have complained to the council's anti social behaviour team. These types of people should be forced to livein a camp surrounded by barbed wire so they can annoy each other. Give them a shop,a school and doctors and nothing else.

Tbf Chinning someone is also quite anti social.

As for bus drivers I thought it was just First Bus drivers that are the most miserable people you've ever met but clearly not. You always notice the really happy ones though that seem to have some sense of customer service.

The most annoying ones are the ones who have no patience for people with learning disabilities or other mental health needs. It's stressful enough catching a bus for some of them as it is without the driver being a jerk.

Dunno why the Scots can't give us some though. Tight eagle-hoarding bastards.

We don't have that many either, nor Lynx wildcats as the English gamekeepers employed by the Estates keep killing them all.

Got driven past again last Friday . Because the bus goes along a new relief road, there isn't a proper dedicated stop for about a mile and a half.
Then on Wednesday, the bus was already running 10 minutes late, the driver then went off route to drop someone off at an estate usually served by a different bus , and then drove back to the original route, making the bus even later!!

Deadlines, I'm a badly organised person, so I've always got them staring me the face.

I get ya. Once gave a fiver and was told 'I should come prepared with the correct change'. Yep, plan my whole day out around my bus fare.

Had this the other week. Sprained my ankle so I can't drive so had to get the bus home from the quack. Got on, proffered a fiver and got told I couldn't have a ticket unless I had the right money. Given this was the first time I'd used a bus in about 50 years, I enquired how the hell I was supposed to know what the bloody fare was? Bus driver told me that it didn't matter, no correct change, no ticket. Stand off lasted about 5 minutes until an inspector turned up and I got a free ride home and the driver a bollocking. Win.

I don't know what you lot are moaning about. I got on a bus recently, the driver was so cheerful he could have come straight from a Enid Blyton story. I gave him 20 quid and we shared some cheery, early morning bantz, I believe he may have even doffed his cap !
I was then given a FREE newspaper! FREE wifi and a comfy seat! Whinging fuckers.

 

[PaulHaddock]

That's sounds more like a train, which is usually the best form of public transport.

"single?"

"Yeah, but I've recently registered on one of those dating websites so I'm hoping not for long."

Not really free if you paid 20 quid for the privilege. You were mugged, mate - no wonder he doffed his cap!!!

Picked up my European 2016 sticker book and bought a pack from the shop. 50p a pack and you get 5 stickers. Fucking Fellaini was one 'n'all. Scam!

They're $1 here when they're available.

On the flip side of my earlier rants, I was walking up a steep (ish) hill yesterday, when a bus driver kindly offered me a lift for nothing to the top of the hill. It was only about 400 yards, but it I appreciated it nonetheless.

When the shoutbox consists of Lib talking to himself and everyone else talking about "real life".

Booooooooooo.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

You could always come and share your own experiences too, Steven.

 

[Stevencc]

But I've never talked to myself.

Is that the name of your new band?

 

[sl1k]

Could just as well be the title to his new single.
