Bus drivers are the most evil people on the planet

In my opinion bus drivers are the most evil people on the planet because:

1)They get kicks out of seeing people running for the bus, getting to the doors and then seeing them stand there gobsmacked as they drive off leaving them there in the rain.

2)They dont like giving change even if it is something as pathetic as 10p

3)They never believe how old you are and think your stupid so they try to charge you £1.50 (you dont pay £1.50 till after christmas)

4)They start driving really fast when you have an elderly person trying to get to a seat and trying not to fall over (on most occasions they fall over)

Im not saying all bus drivers are evil because I know some really nice ones but most of them are just plain evil. Im starting to think that when you for a job as a bus driver, at the interview they ask you if your evil and if you say yes then you automatically get the job.But thats just my opinion :p:

they really dont do any of that stuff.... if they drive away its cos u didnt get there on time, and not all of them do that!! they dont wana keep the bus waiting because people may be in a hurry and have already waited ages for the bus, and depending on how far away u are, its simply not fair.
They have to keep change otherwise if someone gets on witha ten pound note wont be able to get on, as there wont be any change. Everyone pays with pound coins so they end up giving out laods of 80p change, and its not as if they have a spare change safe somewhere, what they have with them is all they have. sometimes they have to give their own change iv seen it. If someone doesnt look old enough then its their job to ask them to provide id! its that simple, so many kids try to get away with trying to be younger than they are - me for one! its just their job, theyr really not that bad.. and if they do act a bit stressy, can u blame them? theyv been driving a bus all day, the same route for like 9 hours...its not exactly exciting.

The age thing is quite irrelevant. In London, if you appear to be under 16, you had to have a photocard. Otherwise you pay adult fare, no two ways about it.

Course, it's all free travel for the wee ones now...
