- Unsupervised children lick windows.
- More than one fat person waddling up the aisle make the bus rock sufficiently to cause seasickness.
- The loudest person on the bus always sits next to me.
- There is always chewing-gum stuck to the seat I sit on.
- There is always one person on the bus that needs the toilet and lets everyone know what'll happen if they don't go soon.
- When two buses park opposite each other, someone always starts a silent conversation with a passenger they know on the other bus (mostly only women do this as 'womanly secrets' are quite often passed back and forth using the 'lip reading' method of conversation to avoid husbands from hearing anything).
- Bus drivers stop at least 3 metres past the point at which passengers are supposed to mount the bus.
- Bus drivers will quite often stop at the wrong side of the bus stop, thus causing the waiting passengers-to-be to troop to the other end, only to have the bus driver correct his error and move to the proper boarding point and, seeing no one waiting, he will promptly drive off before they can troop back.
- The weirdest passengers ALL know each other and hold conversations that are shouted, not spoken.
- If you don't shift your arse down that aisle when you reach your stop, don't expect the driver to react to your frantic cries for him to wait a moment.
* These observations were made over a number of weeks. I would hate to be responsible putting anyone off travelling
on one of our wonderful buses.
