Dear bus driver, yes, it was me, last Thursday on Barrington. I wanted to cross the street so badly to catch the bus behind you, and I thought you had stopped, so I rushed in front of you. But you were pulling back into traffic, and only your vigilance and good reflexes allow me to write this today.
I messed up, and scared you, added stress to your day, and disrespected other pedestrians by giving them a bad rep. I am truly and deeply sorry, and I want you to know that I am in awe of the Metro transit drivers, their skills, their politeness, friendliness and how helpful they are. I hereby swear I will not do this again, ever, and I present you with this apology in the hope that you’ll forgive me. —I Will Do Better From Now On

The world needs more people like you.
Well it would except for the fact that most of them get squished in a bloody mess on the side of the road.
