Fun Start to the Day; Bus

I showed up on time with a pre-purchased ticket... And am told that the bus is oversold.

Interesting.

This is new to me. I'm trying to look at it as exciting and new: like The Love Boat ... Only it appears that they *aren't* expecting [me].

Who knows what amazing adventure is in store, now, that I would have missed otherwise?!?

EDIT: well I'll be darned. 10 minutes later and I'm seated on a fresh bus. I barely even lost faith.

EDIT 2: there's someone else arguing with the driver because they want him to wait for someone who is arriving "now".... 17 minutes late for the original bus departure time... And despite his overwhelming reluctance and frustration, the driver waits. It takes about 90 seconds. The late people arrive.

Humanity prevails.

Sure.... 14 people lost 90 seconds. But the two who made the bus instead of not making it surely benefit more than the rest of us lose.

I know that if the tables were turned, I'd be mighty glad that the bus waited 90 seconds.

EDIT 3: I've got 2 seats all to myself, up front. Which I enjoy. This is going very well, so far.Les mer
