Who loves a bit of karma, btw?
I wandered down to the bus station today to catch my bus home. I got there just as it was accepting passengers and because i'd come from the wrong direction i waited at the head of the line for either the line to finish or some nice person to let me in - you know, like i always do when someone is waiting.
In the queue of 10 people, not one arsehole lets me in. Sure, you don't have to, but it's polite.
Just before i step onto the bus the driver says there's another bus coming and to get on that one.
I think that's cool, the first bus will pass all the really heavy pick up points before we do so i'll get a nice quiet bus.
Sure enough, this happens and we overtake the bus outside my uni, which is after the first uni. Their bus is packed. Mine is damn near empty.
The first bus overtakes us again, but always stays really close ahead and even skips stops to let us pick up the passengers.
Eventually we overtake the bus again - packed to the brim, people almost pushed up against the windows type of packed.
We have a really clear run home, and when i get off the bus there is zero sign of the other bus.
Just think, if those people in the queue had let me in they might have been on the nice empty bus instead of me.
