I'd do something like that but I can't drive and probably couldn't pull that off using the bus i didn't learn to drive until... 3 years ago? Got the job doing delivery right away. I'm still in the honeymoon period with driving, so I love it. Relying on the bus seems so daunting to me now. Everything requires a minimum of an hour and a half planning going by bus, and i can do the same things in a 15 minute window by car. It'll change your life man. Granted, this attitude guarantees environmental calamity when adopted by everybody, but that's already kind of the case. My one decision to drive isn't going to affect any of that.

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I had to take one a couple times last night, since I was drinking. I actually forgot my mask in my van, and the driver was going to let me on anyway, but I wasn't going to do that. Luckily he was so nice that he let me run half a block to my van and back to grab it. Only took me maybe 30 seconds, so it was very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yesterday I missed my bus by seconds and it was stopped at a red light and the driver wouldn't let me on, in fact he didn't even turn to acknowledge me. Fuck that guy. There's good and bad bus drivers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Maybe he didn't notice you? Only because he had one bad day doesn't mean he is a bad bus driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 He should have let you on then. Is there no honour amongst bus drivers anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I’ve had that happen before and I honestly think it’s some sort of rule that they aren’t allowed to let people in at a crossroad. I’ve seen elderly people getting denied access as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 None of us really knows what it means to be a bus driver in this day and age. There is a lot of traffic to navigate and a schedule to stick to. It's a demanding job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Someone bought my album for $100 today. This occurred shortly after someone else bought it for $1.50. So today marks the day of both least and most amounts of money anyone has paid for my music, freeloaders aside. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian trageskin Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 so i'm renting this place for the next few weeks via airbnb, only been here 3 days and i'm pissed, and i've just had a long argument with the cretinous landlord among many other inconveniences, the very 1st one was when i realized there was no modem, no internet, contrary to what was advertised. the host had zero clue as to how the internet works, i had to tell her if she didn't fix the problem immediately i'd ask for a refund. so she went to the shop, i waited for an hour and that was fixed, thank god but then i text her the next morning to ask for an extra blanket and sheets, to which the idiot replies she will provide them the next day when she lives 10 minutes from the flat but whatever, and today, she brings me a sheet but no blanket, and that's when i started having an argument with her. i told her about everything that was wrong with her and the service she provides, then she went to get the blanket, which took long despite the short distance to her home but whatever. then i continued arguing with her, which nearly made her cry i could see she was acting in good faith and wanted to deliver but i've had to battle with her to obtain the very basic stuff so i'm super pissed. fucking clueless idiots who take your money and fail to understand what they're supposed to deliver in return oh and last but not least, the very 1st thing she did when we met was removing her mask, so every interaction i've had with her she wasn't wearing one. so today before she left, i told her why i had a problem with this and explained the purpose of wearing a mask. you fucking idiot 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I hope you were polite about it but since you made her almost cry I think you weren't. Maybe she didn't provide an as high quality service as you demanded, but that doesn't mean you need to be a total cunt. Very Karen behaviour on your side imo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingformung Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Nah, that's exaggerated. You don't need to force yourself to "be the light that radiates unconditional love & have fun" at all times.

brian trageskin Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 oh i wasn't a cunt to her, she was one for trying to justify every single one of her faults (which i didn't list here) and blaming me for being too demanding, when all i asked for was the bare minimum and common sense stuff. she's a complete idiot and a complete failure when it comes to providing a service in exchange of money, that's what forgivehealandhavefun and shit i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) By the sound of it she was in the right. More appropriate response would have been to kick you out and leave you homeless for the night, so you can learn from your mistakes.
