Jesus, don't get me started on bus drivers! In my experience they are (mainly - not all of them) rude and unhelpful. You're lucky if they give you change and if they do they do it begrudgingly. They're surly, grumpy, unhelpful and generally don't give a toss about the passengers or what they think of them.
In fact, once when I was at college (long time ago) I had a bus pass to get there and back. I was late for the bus so my dad dropped me off 2 stops down the road so I'd be able to catch the bus up and get to college. The driver flat refused to let me on because the pass stated I shud've got on 2 stops earlier (despite it being on the route). So I got pissed off and had a moan, the driver got pissed off and started shouting at me so I got very angry, shouted back and called him a c**t. Then, as I've got off the bus and am walking back to my dads car, the bus driver comes chasing after me! It ended up with us having a brawl on the pavement in front of all the other college students watching on from the bus!! Then my dad waded in and the driver then did a runner back to his bus and drove off. How's that for a tosser bus driver?!
Funnily enough, about 5 years after this had happened, I was on holiday in Tenerife. It was about 5 in the morning and I was lying wasted on the pavement having drank too much and taken too much coke. Then I hear this voice saying "No way, aint you the guy who had a fight with that bus driver years ago? Me and my mates think you're a legend, we've often laughed about that!". And yes, it was indeed me.
So there you go - end of story. Crazy but true...
