To the pathetically desperate girl in the red coat standing two inches away from the bus driver on the #14, telling him stories about your affection for lavender-coconut rooibos tea… I’m pretty sure he doesn’t give a fuck about anything you are saying—as do all of us who had to be subjected to your insipidly flirty banter. You should be terribly embarrassed with yourself, I know I was embarrassed for you. Sit down and stop bothering the bus driver. He has a job to do, and that does not include being your therapist. —Laughing at You, Not With You

leave her alone, she’s trying to get fucked. you would too if a female driver showed you some attention. and by the by, everyone should have a groupie of some sort, after all, we have m.m., right?
The important thing is: Did she get a date?
Bet she did, & you’re a bit jealous ;P
Was she cute OP, because most guys will toerate surprising amounts of insipid banter under the right conditions.
Most busses I ride come replete with middle-age Jesse Venturas telling the driver how they can prove there was a third, fourth and fifth gunman at Dealey plaza, just from examining a poor copy of a 2 dimensional photograph reprinted in a bargain bin coffee-table book of Unforgettable Moments of the 20th Century.
I’m sure any bus driver appreciates the occaisional awkward flirt over the unwarranted verbal/physical abuse they receive daily.
Op, shut the fuck up. At least you got a laugh out of it.
OP you sound like a complete bitch. Why don’t you mind your own business and stop caring what others are talking about.
I agree with RC. I’ll bet the driver was flattered (if he wasn’t interested), at least. It’s nice to know someone’s sweet on us, for whatever reason. 🙂
(though I’m suuuuure glad I didn’t tell mr 7:35 35 he was cute when I was stunned by his handsomeness when he first started driving that bus — I gave him one of those ‘whoa’ looks and almost blurted out “wow. you’re hot” or something, but the look probably said it all. But anyway he drives the bus almost every day and puts a smile on my face oh so early in the mornin’ and it may’ve been awkward if I had’ve just blurted out my affection for his hotness :P)
?, I couldn’t pick a metro transit driver out of a line-up if my life depended on it…..sometimes I think they are remote controlled as I never take note of the blob at the wheel……..but the route-whores who chat with the driver are real loozerz and if the guy could get up and walk away I am sure he would.
YEAH! Having a friendly conversation with a male bus driver while being female is completely inappropriate! Everyone knows that if you have a vagina and you talk friendly to a man you’re actually flirting! And flirting with bus-drivers is so out of line! No more flirting with bus-drivers, girls! It’s off limits because… um… because it might annoy some random stranger sitting on the bus! Yeah! And then they might write an incredibly stupid bitch about how horrible you are to have had a conversation with a bus-driver, I mean, how DARE you?
You’re a nasty person, OP.
The driver should kick the bitch to the curb. She’s a distraction.
right you are snoop baby, she should be a miserable fucking old hag, like most people bitch about on here, o.p., included.
PK drinks whatever-the-fuck tea?
Rooibos tea sucks.
Whatever’s in that passion tea… dammmnnnn. I’m not even a real big tea drinker and I usually hate iced tea, but I love this stuff. A packet and a half of splenda for a grande and you’re good to go 🙂
