On the way to work this morning I noticed this guy running down the sidewalk towards the bus stop. He was older and clearly trying to get to work, lunch can in hand. He was also clearly running to catch the bus. Instead of waiting for the man, who was clearly running to catch the bus before 7am this morning, the asshole bus driver pulls out. There’s no way you didn’t see him. Jerk. —Bus Sucks

I believe bus drivers call those ‘magic moments’.
I have NEVER seen anyone carry a lunch can to work … other than a movie……. have you a pic of this rare breed?
mine’s batman… but I don’t use it for lunch since it’s vintage.

What exactly is a lunch “can”?
http://spiffingdesign.com/wp-content/uploa… i have a spiderman and a star trek lunch box. let’s not get distracted folks, obviously a bob newhart sobd graduate
Now that’s world class transit we can all be proud of.
I used to have these growing up:

except they were the plastic ones where the thermos would fit in the lid like this:

When they became too worn or ratty for lunches, they were relegated to Lego and dinky car storage.
Aw what a sin! I can see if it’s in the thick of rush hour because you’re going to be behind in the schedule and can’t keep making stops, but before 7am?
Fortunately, OB, I see the opposite happening a lot more these days. The buses always seem to stop whenever I see ‘runners.’
just get there 15 minutes before the bus is supposed to be there and problem solved. I never missed a bus in 3 years until i got sick of them cause of the strike and didn’t go back.
apparently they make lego lunch boxes, vastie…not sure if i know any kids who would eat the food http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzbzi52d…
How does him being a jerk distinguish him from any other bus driver? They’re all jerks, just ask “wheels”.
Cool, Painy, but…ewwwww! Yeah…what the hell IS that anyway? Were the parents drunk or something? “Ah shit! (hic) Gotta make junior’s lunch! Umm…lessee..(hic)…Ok, here…he can (hic), he can (hic), he can have this tomato….and…ahhh…Aha! (hic),I’ll just pick up these grass clippings with the (hic) flattened out dog turd in em, a few (hic) slices of Crisco shortening for (hic) flavour annnnnnnd….I’ll jus’ give the olive out of my (hic) martini a lil slicey-dicey…(hic) Fuck it! Good enough. Lil’ fucker’s lucky he’s (hic) even gettin’ food…Bastard’s got no God damned (hic) repecccczzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…”
Clearly this in an overuse of the word clearly….
ah, the plastic ones with the thermos!
I can’t 100% recall but I think this was mine long long ago when the days were young….

This, on the other hand, is a work of art: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltavlpt7…
Ah shit! How could I have forgotten about them? I had a Muppets one. I think my kid brother had the A-team.
Funny how the most useless stuff will get stuck in the memory banks.
WOW Brandon! Now THAT’s a parent with entirely WAYYYYYYY too much time on their hands.
mmmmmmm…Bento box!
you really need to go to japan, agent 195. perhaps on your next assignment…good catch baz, three times in such a short bitch
Brandon: that’s all well and good, but sometimes things come up. I get up 3 hours before I have to leave, but sometimes I’m still racing to get the bus because of some unexpected medical issues that may come up.
In a perfect world everyone would be able to get to the bus 15 minutes early, but guess what? We don’t live in a perfect world.
If I had the money, I’d go to Japan in an instant. Sadly, I do not. 🙁
perfect worlds would be creepy
When I referred to “Brandon” in my last post, I meant Orgasmatron. I didn’t realize there was another “Brandon” on the boards.
pay attention ffs^^
BRENDON IS GASMATRON, IT’S NOT BRANDON ZOMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU VASTIE???!!???
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK! EPIC FAIL!
CRAP! Soooooooooooo sorry, BRENDON and BRANDON.
Evidently, I’m too stupid to live. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest my armpits and may I be afflicted with a really nasty bout of scabies for my complete lack of attention!
Public caning will be held tomorrow at high noon at Grand Parade. (*goes to make a flow chart to keep everyone straight*)
over react much madam kitty^^http://cdn2.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/girly…
Hahaha I’s just poking fun! I *heart* vastie. And not just cause he’s one sexy bitch, either 😉
I was the coolest kid in Grade 6 with this:

I’m sure there’s a shipping container we can squeeze you into…
it’s not like you take up a whole lotta space.
Bitch derailed.. another one bites the dust.
I like that lunchbox Ivan.. still got it?
You bet, I use it to smuggle booze to every “Take Back The Night” march. >; )
Awww shucks! *blush* I <3 you too Kitty. Unattainable goddess-like status is forever bestowed upon you for showing me the error in my ways and your sweet words..(and also cuz you're just so frickin' adorable!) 😉
Let me get this strsight. Was he clearly running for the bus? I was a little confused by this post. What’s a Jerk Bus and where do they get their drivers?
It’s routine for bus drivers in Calgary to wait for people and to even let on a late person at a nearby red light. I noticed drivers here are way more considerate than many Halifax drivers, and let you bring drinks on the bus even though signs say otherwise.
That depends, Sodeypop. I HAVE seen some drivers let people on with drinks, (i.e. cup of Timmies) but most I’ve seen will tell the person outright that unless the drink is in a travel mug or some other sort of spill resistant container, they ain’t getting on. Meanwhile, the driver is sucking back on their large double double sitting in the cupholder on the dash. Hypocrites.
yeah I was on the loser cruiser this morning and that cocksucker driver made me throw away a full large coffee that had 2 sips gone! BAstard, Tims cups are the same as a Travel mug. There’s a top with an opening. No fucking difference.
pants on fire
As much as I hate wasting coffee, I hate the possibility of it spilling on the passengers and seats even more. While the cup holder is better at protecting against hard braking, I personally don’t drink from disposable cups on the job due to the hypocrite complex it creates.
