  • What is this I don't even...

    Hi! I'm Aaron - long time lurker, first time poster.

    This happened about eight months ago, when I was a bus driver. Just taking the normal route, when BAM, I get my first SC.

    Me:
    AH: Arsehole

    AH: Single ticket to ____, please.
    Me: £1.70, please.
    -AH hands me a pound coin; I sit there waiting-
    AH: Well? Are you going to give me my ticket?
    Me: You've still got 70p to pay.
    AH: No, you said £1.
    Me: Nope, £1.70.
    AH: Well you told me £1! I DEMAND A DISCOUNT >=[
    Me: Sorry mate, £1.70 or no ticket.

    This is where it gets interesting. AH hands me 30 pence, reaches in, grabs his ticket and tries to get on the bus.

    Me: What do you think you're doing? Get back here!
    AH: NO, I AM THE CUSTOMER, AND ANYWAY, YOU JUST GAVE ME A DISCOUNT!
    -One or two passengers start to yell at AH; I climb out and get him-
    AH: WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING?
    Me: Sir, please get off of this bus.
    AH: FINE! **** YOU, I'M NEVER TAKING THE BUS AGAIN!

    He left with his ticket. He also didn't take the £1.30 back

      Another one who hears only what he wants to hear. What a jerk. I'm glad you booted him off.
      I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

        Excuse me, but would you put that in writing, please? We have a notary public standing by.

        Le sigh. If only it was this easy.

          Welcome to the board!

          One of my best friends is a bus driver in the UK, and he has told me many stories of what it is like. It seems that 99% of his customers are old people or ex-cons with passes, who act extremelly grumpy and entitled, even though they are getting the transport for free!

            I'm sorry about that walking dragon. On the other hand, terrific for those passengers that began to stand up to him.
            Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.
