A couple weeks back we had a wee Hurricane here in Bonnie Scotland. We named it Bawbag. It wasn't that bad to be honest. We've have blowier days.
I am waiting at the bus depot for a bus. (as you do)
It is dark, pishing down with icy rain and snow and very, very windy. There are a few others also waiting and many buses parked up who are refusing to drive anywhere due to safety concerns.
I am in the middle island. Therefore I can clearly see who is waiting at the island before and behind me. In total, maybe 6-7 folks. ALL folks waiting have been doing so for 30+ mins when we see a bus come chugging in and queue up for it. We all get on. Bus Driver (made of awesome) waits another minute of so and then pulls away. He gets around the corner and pulls up to the bus stop just on the outside of the depot. Another 2 folks get on here. Bus driver shuts the door, checks his mirror and then someone starts banging on the closed door. He opens up and lets the new guy on.
Here is what followed-
SC: You drove away while I was waiting! WTF is your problem? You are supposed to let passengers on the bus!
Driver: *just stares at the plonker* Aye, whatever.
SC: Yell ranty whinge ( it was nonstop gibberish about how he was there, waiting to just step onto the bus when teh driver closed his doors and drove off forcing him to run after him) This delayed the bus from leaving by a good 5mins.
Driver: I didn't see you! You weren't in the queue and if you were running for me, I couldnt see you in this weather.
SC: You did! You drove off on purpose! Im reporting you!
Driver: Sure. Go sit down. (pulls away from stop and starts driving)
SC does so, muttering and saying to anyone who looks at him that he was mistreated, driver drove off blah blah.
Now EVERYONE on the bus knows this fannybag is lying through his arse. He was NOT at the depot. He may have been waiting at the train station which is right next to the depot, seen the bus and ran for it but he the bus was parked for a good minute before pulling away and the bus is the ONLY one running! Cut the driver some slack FFS!
To make it worse, I had to sit behind a Jakey man with the stolen wheelchair and the bottle of American Cream Soda that prolly had something not American Cream Soda in it. He was smoking an empty pipe and reeked of kitty pee pee. It was not nice. He was singing Moves Like Jagger under his breath and I had that song stuck in my heid for hours!
On a wee side note, the bus driver got us to Glasgow in record time through pelting rain and sleet with the bus rocking back and forth all the way. He was amazing and brave and as we got off, we all thanked him. The liar slunk off the bus last. No one talked to him. Not even the Jakey.
