jazzers ‘new to the route’ busdriver ..I have been taking this bus for 5 years and getting off at the same stop for 5 years…So when I pull the ‘stop requested’ ringer with plenty of time and you blow by my stop ( and the next one) just offer up an apology and all will be fine but don’t try to piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining by stating ‘..I guess you were too slow pulling the ringer’. Hell, even asking if I pulled it in time and asked if you made a mistake would have been better than accusing me of being slow on the ringer. I know that I will be asking whether or not you heard my ‘stop request’ when I make it if you last long enough on this job and you are my driver again. —Missin Motorcycle Commuting Season Reason #85

I’m pretty sure that actually owning up to a mistake gets you kicked out of the union.

What? I isn’t near the end of motorcycle season, ya wuss!
Sucks that you had to walk that extra ten feet.
Bus drivers can be assholes or make mistakes; and so can we commuters… and then there’s YOU, God!
