# I get the bus twice daily, every day of the worknig week, and I have nothing but respect for the drivers.
The amount of crap they put up with is unbelievable sometimes. Sure you get the occasional time when someone's clearly on a bad day, but that happens to everyone. Nah - hats off to bus drivers.

# Thank you - often we feel really unappreciated
and I think after the millionth cut-up by inconsiderate road-users and being sworn at by a 7 year old chav you tend to get a little raggy by the end of the shift.

# My wife has a funny bus story
After having our second baby she was unable to drive for a few weeks, so one day tried to catch the bus. Not knowing fares or anything, she asked the driver how much she should have to pay.

The driver looked at my daughter and said "How old is she?", to which my wife replied "3 and a half", and the driver said "You don't have to pay for her".

Then he looked in the baby-carrier and said "and how old is that one?"

My wife checked to see if he was joking, but he wasn't.

"Well, she's 2 weeks old".

"Oh right, well you don't have to pay for her either".

I kid you not. That is what happened.

# He will have been joking - we have a wicked sense of humour
that most people simply don't relate too when it comes from a busdriver.

The fact that he didn't smile was a bit mean of him.
