The wheels on the bus go round and round. Except when Sarah’s on it, in which case the wheels on the bus go crash damn fuck.
Jesus, do people really not yield to the more enormous vehicle? Because that is totally what I do. (Even when I drove a minivan, as opposed to my current Corolla.)
I’m thinking I won’t take the Metro with you either, just to be safe. Yikes.
Maybe that was the last one–bad events come in threes…
I think this is why we don’t have flying cars yet–I’m sure the technology exists, but idiots in smart car sized flying cars would try to cut off the 747s…
Can you imagine the under or over version of a sideswipe?
But the ambulance chaser ads would be amusing…
Nothing much good comes from buses.
That’s so weird — whenever I’M on a bus, there’s always some crazy dude who plants a bomb on it that’s set to explode if the bus slows to below 55 mph.
Seriously. I can’t tell you how many times.
This happened to me. Yesterday. I missed my appointment because the transit people had to send out a replacement bus, in case the mini that hit us did irreparable damage. The bus was fine, as were we.
It did damage alright, to the stupid mini… Karma for not following the rule we have here that you YiELD to a bus- always!
I appreciate the tip! I’ll likely stay out of planes and trains with you inside as well, just to be safe.
Both good life lessons.
How does one not see a giant bus?
I simply cannot fathom how someone could miss seeing a bus. I used to joke that I had ‘Walk here’ tatooed on my forehead in UV but I think that you have me beat. You are the incarnation of Murphy’s Law for public transportation.
I received this letter in the mail today–I think it was supposed to be mailed to you instead, so I’ll just reiterate the contents here…
“Dear Sarah of the Goon Squad,
Enclosed you will find a check for $10,000. Consider it a lifetime stipend for public transportation, i.e. cabs, trolleys, trains, horse drawn carriages, rickshaws, etc. Anything but buses.
We repeat, anything but buses.
With love and respect and fear for our lives,
National Coalition of Bus Drivers”
Jesus, sarah!
That is kind of scary! There are seriously people out there that do not need to drive! Completely at a standstill and he still kept coming. AMAZING!
