What diff.? It makes a Ding noise..so what.. You need to chill-out.. ‘sides if you look at it a different way it could make you laugh. What a bunch of dummies signifying that they want off at the next stop where the bus stops anyway, tools. Or it could be nice of a parent to let their child pull the string-thing and not make any difference except to bring a smile to the child’s face. Wait, that last one, according to frannie…I should just let that go 🙂
yes scott, what were you thinking? Only negligent parents take their children on the bus, and they must be complete WEIRDOS to let them pull the string…shame on you….
I would like to take this opportunity to appologize to those of you reading who are annoyed by the frannie bashing….but I just have to say, it really does make my day more enjoyable!
And bus drivers are the most reliable people…
Well, I know some people who pull it because there is always that teeny little snippet of doubt that the bus will actually stop at said major terminal…but then again these are the same kind of people that require medication for their incessant paranoia about everything. :)~
It’s one of the few joys I have left in this life.
I like pulling the string when approaching Mumford, because it pisses people like you off.
I didn’t do this before, but now that I know it bothers at least some people, I am going to pull the string anytime I am on any bus coming in to any terminal… just in the hope that someone on that bus is going to pop a vein…
Oh yeah, I almost forgot… Scott STFU…And thats not a university I am recommending to you…
Um, I think Scott was just kidding. :p
Lilac YFT…!!! That’s just the kind of foolish rant we’ve come to expect from a tree-hugging, titty-proud, hippy-broad such as yourself…!!!just kidding… :p

Hardly kay-o’d jamms… I find my attention span for that troll has greatly diminished over the past few months… It used to be fun to bait her because it was like having a 2000 pound tuna on the end of your line… real sport… one that takes 10 hours to land in the boat.. Now its just harpoon the MF and winch ’em in…
BAM, Floyd, BAM!

If that’s how feel Jammie, okay but Jeez I always thought we were kind of buds… (you know after I got off of that Jammie=Homie thing)… And you know then there was that Denver airport thing… Those were special times… Very special times… For ME at least…. *flips*Bam Jammie Bam…
