I thought that someone else was allowed to use your PAYG Oyster when
you weren't using it (unlike a travelcard)? Although, how you could
have stopped using it (ie finished your bus journey) in those few
seconds would take a bit of explaining.

The reader flags up a repeat use attempt "passback" on the same journey
only. Otherwise all sorts of problems would ensue!
