i hate the bus. i hate it even more so as of today. you guys might start saying 'the bus driver was right though, you should've been on the other side' but i have perfectly good reasoning!
basically today i had an english class at TIPPS. yeah general shit, went to the bus stop, saw the bus coming so i basically ran across the street, nearly killing myself to make it. said bus had a sign saying 'somewhere via BANKSTOWN' and i even checked on the bloody timetable site! that bus goes to fucking bankstown!
then the dude was all like 'bankstown? other side.' and then i said 'what other side? your bus goes to bankstown.'
dude: 'no, other side'
me: 'your bus goes banksto-'
dude: 'other side.'
DUDE. YOU CUT ME OFF. YOUR BUS SAYS BANKSTOWN, IT GOES BANKSTOWN. IF IT DOESNT, ITS FALSE ADVERTISING. AND SERIOUSLY? I HAVE TO BE AT A SPECIFIC BUS STOP TO CATCH A BLOODY BUS? NO. FUCK YOU. LET ME ON DAMNIT. I DONT HAVE A STUDENT PASS, ITS STILL FREAKING MONEY.
thats basically what i wanted to say to him. cause his tone was directed to me as if i was an idiot. so i got off and started cursing under my breath when another bus came. also saying 'VIA BANKSTOWN' it was actually the bus i caught on monday when i had a class.
me: can i get a child ticket to bankstown?
dude: other side
me: your bus goes to bankstown does it not?
dude: no, other side.
me: what other side?
dude: *points across the street where there is no bloody stop anyway'
me: yeah okay.
and i got off again. by now i had already given up on stupid buses and contemplated getting a taxi. cause i wanted to make sure my mum pays me back for a taxi ride i called my mum and told her what happened.
me: 945 and 944 kicked me off saying they werent going btown.
mum: what? again? (this happened on monday and i ended up chasing a bus that ended up taking me to btown late anyway)
me: yeah. next bus doesnt come til 1.30 and my class is at 1.15
mum: try checking on the other side of the station?
me: i'm already there. can i take a taxi?
mum: don't want you taking a taxi by yourself, just go home. you left it too late.
me: well i didn't think buses would kick me off.
mum: yeah okay, just go home and do some work
me: kay bye
END.
motherfucking buses. if your thing says a certain stop, you go there. you pick up passengers at stops and you don't say 'other side' cause then that just makes an unnecessary stop. it's logic.
i've completely given up on buses. so i'm gonna go city and then transfer to the other line and go yagoona. maybe i'll actually be able to be at class. and this was an important class too. i had to go for information on a bloody test, and now i'm probably gonna fail unless someone tells me whats in it.
so yeah. as you can tell im incredibly frustrated and annoyed at the moment. and i hate buses. especially the ones that are rude to me because seriously? whats is with the tone! what the hell did i ever do?
-end rant-
