Take a Deep Breath
A lady boarding the bus in front of you
shows the bus driver a map and asks “Can you tell me if you are going to this
place please?”
He thinks about it and kindly gives a full
answer.
“OK, then can we have two tickets
please? Can I pay with a credit card?”
The driver says yes but the card doesn’t
work.
“Sorry, let’s try this other one” as she
fumbles in her purse.
This time it works.
“Can you tell us when to get off?”
“Sure” says the driver, smiling.
You are waiting behind these irritating
people. The bus is now late, which means
you will miss the start of your meeting.
How do you feel? Angry?
Agitated? What if this happens on
the next bus? It’s enough to make you
walk straight to a taxi rank, regardless of the additional expense.
