The problem with bus passengers...

Well I can hardly say it's a problem with buses because they aren't responsible for what people do inside them, being just the means to get from A to B.

No it's the people who travel in them that are a problem - and a few things are on my hate list right now:

1. Old ladies and their shopping trolleys - look dear, you got the trolley because you can't carry heavy loads, but why fill it so full you can't lift it on or off the bus, or manouvre it down the aisle to your seat.

2. Mothers and their buggies - why do you expect to get on the bus without folding it up? The buggy spot is already full so if you can't wait for the next bus where there may be space fold up the buggy (preferably with your screaming brat still in it) and stop blocking the aisle.

3. People with wet umbrellas - I know you don't want to get drips of rainwater on your clothes but neither do I.

4. Mobile phone users - "I'm on the bus" "We're not moving" "I'll be with you shortly". I'll strangle you shortly if you don't shut up bellowing into that contraption.

5. The moaning nutter - firstly, there are other seats, so you don't have to sit next to me (or even in my proximity). Secondly, I do not want to hear about your physical ailments, or where you are going, or what you are having for dinner tonight. Thirdly, have you thought about having a bath and/or washing your clothes?

Oh to hell with it - why not have a moan about buses whilst I'm in the mood. Get a move on - I'm late.
