Everyone has been annoyed by some thimgs when they ride buses. What bothers me the most is when people crowd the middle of the bus and the rear has plenty of room and when you wait at the bus stop, the bus operator just passes you.



If Anyone else has bus peeves, please support my argument. I woud love some feedback. oh and for those who don't what peeves means, it means things that annoy you.

Here is a list of some of the things that annoy me while on the bus.

1. People who get on through the back door and get a seat while the people that pay the fare have to stand.

2. People who talk loudly on their cell phones.

3. When you wait for a long time and 5 buses show up at once.

1 - People that litter on buses (then complain about filth) and refuse to control unruly children (then they want to complain if the child gets hurt).

2 - People who get on the bus and ask for change.

3 - People who board the bus and not have their fare/MetroCard ready.

4 - Passengers whgo ring the bell as the bus is 50 feet from their stop.

Many, many more.

I agree. I also hate when people ring the bell, but they don't get off. one other thing I hate is when wheelchair people get on the bus during rush hour. To be honest with you guys, I hate wheelchair people.

Being I"m an OTR driver I don't deal with bell ringing or back doors, but I do occasionally get passenger who tries to tell me which way I should go.

{look lady.. go and read a book or something} God I feel like saying This ain't team work lady. I work alone. SHEESH!

Being I am the proffesional, I just ignore people like that.
