This morning we (couple of fellow commuters and I) flag down the second bus of our commute, the very same bus we flag down almost every morning for the last leg (7 blocks) of our ride to work. We're above the actual bus stop (with covered shelter) and there are no buses so the bus drives past us (and past the bus shelter) and pulls up to a stop at the corner. We arrive at the door as several passengers are getting off, so I do the right thing and stand next to the door and let the passengers get off first.
As soon as the last passenger gets off I move towards the door. I reach for the handrail inside the bus and am about to step off the curb WHEN THE DOOR SLAMS CLOSED, ALMOST CATCHING MY HAND, AND FUCKING BUS DRIVER REVS THE HELL OUT OF THE ENGINE AS HE RUNS THE YELLOW LIGHT leaving us, metaphorically, in a cloud of dust.
I kid you not, as the door closed I had to pull my hand back, and the doors still brushed my knuckles.
I hate arrogant bus drivers.

jackass. you should have written down his bus' license number and report him.
Aye, it is america afterall, if you'd remembered in your rage to take down his reg, route and time of day you could have got him sacked and filed some sort of sexual molestation charge as well..
Or next time, wait till you get the same driver and puch him in the head when you get on the bus.. wear ski mask, dont want liz all over me ass in case you get nicked.
no wait.. next time you get him, acccidentally on purpose trip and as you fall connect some part of your body with his face... like your head or elbow.. obviously not your penis or something like that.
Right on, Ross. Definitely don't want to trip and head butt him in the groin...that would not present a good picture.
I actually emailed an account of the incident to one of our attorneys to see what it's worth ;) he was out of the office yesterday. I'll post an update when I hear back from him.
