My Girlfriends Bus Trip To Work

Trip in was ok, yeah it was a bit quieter.

Had the usual annoying elbowing for about 5 minutes when someone sat down next to me.

As we were getting close to my stop, the bus went past some workmen. One of them was digging the road up just at the edge of the pavement. The bus didn’t give him any space at all and almost took his head off with the wing mirror!!
He leap back enormously when he noticed (cos he had ear mufflers on and didn’t hear the bus) and jumped on top of this bloke walking to work.
It was quite funny in a sitcom kind of way but I bet the workman (and the other bloke!) was a bit shaken.

It was ok but the bus got in a bit later than usual though.

The driver did that thing you hate where he was stopped behind a parked car to let someone off then indicated and moved out…just as a car was overtaking. So the car braked and beeped and the bus driver (foreign, so do the accent) goes, ‘I am giving the indicators! I cannot see that!’ and beeped back at the car as it went past. COMPLETELY in the wrong. I mean, what was the car supposed to do? Let the bus just cut him up?! The bus driver should’ve waited a few seconds if he couldn’t see to give people time to pass.

The woman sat next to me kept nudging with her elbows aswell which was irritating. Dunno why people can’t just keep their arms still instead of fidgeting all the time – fiddling in her bag, glasses off, flicking hair, glasses back on, putting bag down, flicking hair again, scratching nose, folding arms, etc, etc. None stop. Oh and whiney kid was on too being a brat.

So, usual kind of trip in.

My girlfriend uses several local Reading buses during the week, different ones each day depending whether she gets on near home, or closer to where I work.  This blog is going to describe some of the fun stuff that appears to happen on these trips.. The morning trips are usually the strangest – please read .. you’ll be amazed or amused
