People who put their arm out for the bus a ridicolously long time before the bus will actually arrive at the stop

ryanwilson [Edit] [Delete] 23 replies 16:53, 8 October '12

they should be taken out and shot, i've often wanted to stop at the bus stop when i am driving past these twats and be all like "yes what do you want? I'm not a fucking taxi".

Glad I shared that with you

  • i was going to suggest you give them a high-five

    but this would only work if you have a left-hand drive (or you're Mr Tickle)

  • when i first moved to that london

    i used to put my arm out for the buses

    took me a week to realise nobody else was doing that, and the buses always stop. i nearly killed myself in shame.

    • well, no, they don't always stop

      • i was waiting for somebody to say that

        but in my experience, they always do

        • if you're the only person waiting they won't always stop

          then the arm out for ages is perfectly acceptable.

      • see also:

        when you get up when your stop is coming and stand by the exit but they don't stop because nobody pushed the button or hailed the bus

        • well we only have ourselves to blame then

  • I always used to think this

    But then twice the bus just plain sailed past me and so now I put my arm out in advance. Better to be safe than sorry.

  • Probably time for you to stop being a bus driver

    Balonz | 8 Oct '12, 17:01 | X
  • people who stand near where the bus will stop right by the curb in prime arm holding out position

    but aren't waiting for the bus thats due next and will let the bus pass while all the other people in the queue who were waiting are left bus-less because that pillock was in the arm position and they assumed the no one would stand at the flagging down spot if they weren't going to flag a bus down.

    There are some stops near where I live where this always happens

  • buses who if another bus - even of a different number - has pulled up at a stop will overtake and drive passed

    even if there are people waiting for that bus

      • argh absolute worst scum move from a driver.

        sexy_girl @soapy | 8 Oct '12, 17:09 | X
        • this

          is in the wrong place.

          Fuck.

          Gashwrecker @Gashwrecker | 8 Oct '12, 17:10 | X
      • or when a bus is already at the stop

        and your bus is coming in, so you walk ahead to put your arm out and make sure it doesn't just drive ahead, and then the bus that was already there leaves and your bus pulls in, and you have to do the walk of shame back to the people that just stood waiting.

      • i like this new user

      • I think shooting them is a bit extreme.

        Perhaps just cut off their arms.

      • I really like it when people do this!

        I don't know why. Preferably it's raining, and they're wearing a hat and scarf.
