Because I would not.
The AATA bus drivers are 85% rude, 5% boring, and 10% good I guess (and I only say this because I have had a few sweet old men that I would never ever want to offend because they are so lovely- but I actually mean that).
But the younger bitches, now they're a problem. When I pay my (ever so increasing) bus fare as I board the headache-inducing bus, I am not only paying for transportation but service as well. I do not receive the service, unfortunately.
Most times when I get on, the younger drivers especially give me a half nod as I deposit the $1.50 (SERIOUSLY?!) and then fail to acknowledge my presence ever again. So lovely.
Yesterday, as I boarded a certain bus number which I will not reveal (and early, may I add? Had I come at the real time the bus was supposed to leave, I would have missed it. Listen bus drivers, being early is cool to like a standardized test or something, but not to the bus stop), I deposited my mom's money (I had to borrow it; $1.50 is way too steep for a jobless chick) and did not even get ONE look from the sassyass bus driver-- not even a mean one! Just none, whatsoever. So I went and sat down, rode the bumpy route, and pulled that little laminated string when I wanted to get off. The driver screeched the bus to a halt and looked up impatiently waiting for me to get off. As I chose the farther exit, only so I could walk past her, I gave her the sweetest smile I could must and said "thank you very VERY much!" She snarled and said nothing. Charming woman.
So like, why are these fussy humans being paid BY ME to be rude? I could stand to save the money that I pay for the bus and use it toward my unemployed fund. But alas, I have people to see so I must use their transportation.
If all bus drivers were as friendly as the few nice older gentlemen that drive, or had social skills even, I would not be so bitter that they are making money that I could make. I would also not mind riding the bumpy and nauseating bus. But they are not. So I do.

ReplyDeleteGiven your horrible attitude, its no wonder you are jobless. The job of a bus driver is not to entertain snotty little college students, our job is to get you to your destination safely and ontime.
ReplyDeleteYou should consider yourself lucky to live in Ann Arbor where you have a good bus system available to you.
Talk about younger bitches, you snot nosed UM students know nothing of what its like to work for a living. Its a wonder that you've ever taken the bus. Is the car your daddy gave you broken?

Dan - I'm with you dude! Don't you hate these ignorant UM students who think they own the world? Too bad this chick didn't walk in front of your bus. I bet this jobless chick is as skanky as she is dumb.
