Not in London then where you get ****s ringing the bell 0.1sec after
the bus has left the previous stop.

Better than ringing it too late IMO. Or ringing it when someone else
has already done it - why does the device not suppress that - or at
the terminus (if you know that it is). Shows a lack of awareness of
surroundings and fellow humans I think.

The lack of awareness manifests itself when those folk just get up off
their seat to walk down the aisle without checking if someone else is
already there. Always makes me wonder if they just pull out without
looking in their cars.

I was driving down a fairly narrow residential street the other week and
a car backed out of their drive right across my path. The whole time
they were staring straight ahead (maybe looking in the mirror to make
sue they didn't hit the opposite kerb). At no point did they look either
side to see if there was any cross-traffic.
