I hate it when the bus is supposed to come but the doesn't so you decide to wait a little longer.....but it still isn't there and then you realize that you are very hungry and you have no food so you wait and are starting to get annoyed when its 1/2 hour late but you keep waiting and then you realize that its not coming so you try to get a ride from a friend but he isn't going home...he is going to a dentist appointment so then you try to get a ride with other people and the last resort is going to have a detour so you get in their car anyway and wait 1 hour while they do something in some office and then you get home and your dad gets angry at you for being late when it is not your fault.

this was after school (high school) and the bus (the only bus) that takes me 10 miles home didn't show. Now my wrist hurts from typing because i am tired anyway.

Yeah.

I catch the bus to college most days. The bus stop I get on at is on a main road, so there's usually a bus every ~5 minutes. Sometimes, if I'm unlucky, 3 busses will all show up at once really early, and then just as the crossing turns green they all drive off.. And then the next 3 busses are all running late, so overall, there's a 30+ minute wait, and 4 busses all show at once!

Yes, this is a true story and it does happen occasionally

Ok, listen to this then.
Once i had a job working from 2pm - 10pm and i had a long way home from work. No matter, the bus was usually on time.

So i waited for the bus, and when it came it stopped, very quickly setting one passenger off, not giving me the possibility tog get on, both because of the short time the bus stopped, but allso because the driver refrained from opening the from doors. I know he saw me, because i looked him right in the eyes.

Thats life for ya.

Maybe we should all catch the train instead. I think their doors run on timers.

If you consider the london underground yes - I regularly have large delays due to the national railways doing maintenance (every weekend there's at least one piece of track that's out of service, and then there's everything that happens unplanned, like 4:00 to cover 120km instead of the normal 1:10 when one of the power cables broke)

Suffice to say, I'm lucky if the train runs on schedule for more than 4 times in a row...

I use to ride the school bus...to school, and there were some mornings where my bus driver just decided he didn't want to pick me up that day...yea, very annoying, especially when I live about 10 miles out of town, and my parents usually leave early....now all my friends have cars(I have yet to, but soon!) so I just get a ride everyday...

Busses can get annoying huh?
A lot of the time when there is a new driver, (s)he doesn't stop at my stop. Then every yells and they stop in the middle of an intersection to let us off so we can dodge cars.
