Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

The cigarette trickonly seems to work if you have been umming and ahhhing about having one, then finally decide you'll have time for it.
If you don't smoke, may I suggest having something in your bag...(A book, or a tasty cake perhaps?) That would be slightly inconvenient to remove. Sods law has often proved that as soon as you've removed everything else from your bag to reach the chosen item, that's when the bus will show up.
Alternatively, if there is a shop near by, saunter over in a nonchalant fashion to buy a drink or some gum and then prepare to run back as the bus will do doubt be waiting at the bus stop.
Number one rule though, don't let the bus know you want it to be there. It can sense your longing and likes to wind you up by making you wait.
