03 July Bah! Poo! Bum! and other nicer expletives describing my week so far!I love my job but sometimes it's ruined by the fact that i have to open the doors to let people on and that i have to share the road with tossers!Don't know what it is about this week but all the twats seem to be bugging me. Yeah you do get the occasional awkward customer and road user but...........!!!!!!!!! Here's just a summary of some of the idiots that have made me grumpy this week:
As i was coming off a roundabout a taxi seemed to be drifting out in front of me without an indicator so i gave him a little beep to warn him i was there. Next minute he's up beside me screaming abuse at me. Ok mate next time i will just plough into the side of you and ruin your day big time!
I pulled in at a bus stop to let some kids on and a van came round the corner and blared his horn at me because i had stopped at a bus stop!!!! Was sure that's what my job entailed but who am i to argue with the wisdom of the white van man! Tosser!
Was parked in the bus unloading area at the hospital which is set out with bright yellow paint and the words, "Buses only". Indicated to pull out but as a car was at the side of me i waited for them to pass whilst moving down further into the bus area. Suddenly the car cut right across the front of me, into the bus area and went into a parking bay. I swore under my breath and the girl being picked up saw this. So i'm now at the bus stop further up picking up passengers and this aforementioned car pulls up alongside me. Big, shiny, silver BMW driven by a blonde barbie doll. She accuses me of pulling out on her! Huh! What planet did she learn to drive on!? I said that she cut across the front of a bus parking area and nearly hit the front of my bus. But obviously she's right as daddy does not buy BMW's for stupid girls!!!! She told me i should watch where i was going!!! So i smiled and replied, "And you should try not to be a stereotype". I would have not got a better reaction if i had actually got out and slapped her hehehe. She wanted to know what i meant by that and i said that i just had a feeling it would take to long to explain that to her and i didn't have all day as i had a job to do! hehehehe. She drove off in a strop hehehehe.
I've continually been cut up on roundabouts. It's like no one in this city knows you have to give way to the right!
The traffic was horrendous on Tuesday and trying to stay on time was like wading through treacle. A woman moaned i was late and a growl from me sent her scurrying to her seat. Actually i'm sure she was the same woman i had a run in with a while back and when i turned to glare i think she remembered the last time and was suddenly very nervous. Plus when you are running late it's always then that you get the idiots that hold you up like people with the wrong tickets who seem to be set on slow mo!
One of my buses had a dodgy seat which left me sat so low that i looked like a child in the big brother chair!
But a passenger today really took the biscuit! She got on in town and asked for a return (No please!) but never told me where she was going. I eventually worked out she wanted the hospital. So got to hospital, everybody got off (Or so i thought), loaded up more passengers and headed back as i was still the same number. Quite a way down the road this woman suddenly appeared, she had not got off. Apparently i was going the wrong way, which i wasn't. She wanted to go in the other direction and said my number bus always went that way. I explained loads of times that it only went that way if it changed numbers at the hospital but as i was staying the same number then i was going back the way i had just come. This was not an acceptable reason and i should take her to where she wanted to go as she would be late. It then dawned on me that she had only paid to the hospital but was staying on further than that and obviously made a habit of this, so this mixed with her previous rudeness in town and her current lack of not listening to me made me less happy to help her at all. So i said she'd have to get off and catch a bus back to the hospital and sort it out there. She then had a go because she'd have to pay. So i asked her to get off and said it was not my fault that she had got on the wrong bus and that she should stop having a go at me for her mistake, closed the doors and drove off leaving her steaming! Cow!!!
You really do get some idiots on the bus and also quite a few unsavoury characters and nutters, so i thought as i was talking about work, i would share them with you and call this section, "People are Strange". I have given them all names and normally groan if i see them waiting for my bus!
Mad Mary : She rushes around the town dragging a suitcase behind her and always wears a red coat. Apparently the case is full of bus timetables as she has a bus fetish!! She has even been known to take pictures of the drivers, one driver she took a liking to and started to stalk him. Unfortunately the police became involved and when they went to her house she had a wall full of pictures of the bus drivers!!!! Alrighty then!!!
Elvis : This old guy dresses up as a las vegas Elvis Presley and serenades people at the bus stops and then on the buses. Unfortunately he only seems to know one song!
Ashley : Our resident bus groupie and actually quite harmless. He just seems to ride around constantly on the buses whilst talking non stop to the drivers. He's quite amusing but he can get very boring as he's apparently done every job under the sun including such varieties as : security guard, reporter, ambulance driver, hospital care assistant, all in the space of a year! His life would be amazing if it were true but he lives in cloud cuckoo land! Heard recently that he had been locked up in a loony bin!
Smelly man : Awww this one is disgusting. He has long hair, a massive beard and always wears the same woolly jumper no matter what the weather. No matter where he sits on the bus you can smell his rancid BO and when he gets off all the drivers spray deodorant around where he was sat. Yuck!!!
Tony : Yeah, this one is a real headcase and quite dangerous! He's normally homeless and has a gammy leg which apparently he got by being run over by a bus, so needless to say, he does not like drivers too much. I was warned about him so i am always nice to him and this has so far saved me from any violent outbursts! Although i've seen him turn on one of the passengers and he can change just like that. He's always worse when he's not taken his medication!
But apart from that, my job is lovely!!!
