In my driving days I was plagued by people who would lurk somewhere behind the cab and expect me to "sense" they were there. I vividly remember one guy, quite well dressed in a business suit and carrying a briefcase, who, when I had missed the stop that he'd wanted (not deliberately by any means, I assure you) got very vocal and started questioning my parentage in very colourful language. I said to him very politely, why didn't you ring the bell..? He replied that he never did. I said that if he didn't, it was quite possible that he might miss his stop. He then stamped his foot like a petulant 5 year old and shouted at the top of his voice, making the entire bus sit up and take notice, "I *WON'T* ring the bell..!" I just said "Ok, I won't stop the bus" to which he didn't say a word and got off (at the next stop 100 yards down the road) very quietly. I find this very hard to believe. I like to read the tales of customer idiocy on https://notalwaysright.com and as a result I find the tale about very easy to believe Anna Noyd-Dryver |
