Bus travel


Recommended Posts

I don't, it is an irrational response to the fact that 99% of people don't get thanks for doing their job, so why should bus drivers.

 

However, having read this thread I will now start thanking more people for doing their jobs, including bus drivers.

I thank them if they were on time.

Immaterial, isn't it. I apologise if I'm late to something, but I've never had a driver apologise to me for being late. Courtesy goes both ways.

 

Mind you, I have more trouble with buses being early. They love that shit here.

Haha. You’re such an asshole. You’re going to make an incredible cantankerous old bastard.

Absolute banker Stronts has an encyclopaedic memory of all the times the bus has been late and who was driving.

 

”You may very well be on time today but in 2006 you were late by 93.7 seconds when it was raining cats and dogs, so if you think I’m thanking you now you’re as cretinous as you look. Which is very, very cretinous indeed, in case you were wondering. You’re welcome.”

 

”One pound thirty please mate.”

Out of rep but I'm in fucking tears here. The last line has killed me off

"Right you are. Do you have change for a fifty pound note? It'll be a justice neg for you if you don't."

I haven’t got a bus for about a decade. Growing up in Netherley before I passed my driving test I had no choice but to get one for years and fucking hated it. 

 

Moving near a train route is much better. Well quicker just jumping the train to town. 

 

And of course I used to thank them. Except for one driver a couple of years older than me who used to live in my street because I shagged his sister so he used to ignore me for some reason. Plus he was ginger.

Do you thank the driver when you get off the bus or is it a generation thing? I'm 62 now and always do it because when I was a kid my mum always did.

Is right mate, always. As lifey said, manners don’t cost a thing. A smile and a thank you always has a positive impact.
