Busdrivers


Stolen from issy XD 
Bus drivers can make me =D :) :S :/ D= :( >=(

There is the mean type:- Grunts for answers, doesn't look at you, waves you away, shouts at the students.
There is the annoying type:- Like today an Indian (nothing against indians..) busdriver in a turban, who actually takes a student's buspass holds it up to his face, bends it, holds it up to the light and continues to inspect it for a couple of minutes, as the line becomes longer and longer. Then if he is not satisfied/ dislikes the student, he waves them away by making some lame excuse as "this pass is not valid", "this pass doesn't say that you can use it at blacktown station", "send it back to the company, for now you have to pay".
There is the mean looking but infact quite nice type:- Today i took out money for the bus fare, expecting him to give me change, but instead he just waves me on.
There is the nice type:- A bit chubby and talkative.
There is the eager type (obviously new to the job):- Asks people on the bus about their lives/ where they live/ what grade he/she is in a bit too much.

Today the busdriver didn't stop when I pressed the STOP button and went straight past my stop. So i had to walk down the road and almost got hit by a car as I attempted to j-walk in a difficult to see car stretch of the road.

It's hard not to talk when your friend gives someone something and that someone asks you what the something is a week or two beforehand.
