When it comes to disembarking from the bus, it seems there are 3 different kinds of people.

Type One – The Mute

Do you get off the bus without acknowledging the driver? You’re an asshole. Don’t get me wrong, being a bit of an introvert myself, I can respect quiet people. But there is no reason to not acknowledge the driver as you walk past. I know it’s their job. I don’t care if the fee was extortionate, the driver didn’t set it. It’s irrelevant if the bus is an hour late, they’re probably as pissed off as you about that. The bus driver was just a bit of an asshole himself? Then a “fuck you very much” is a perfectly acceptable form of acknowledgement too. So quit being such an ignorant prick and acknowledge their existence already.

Type Two – The Long Lost Friend

If the bus is late, there’s somebody behind you or somebody waiting to get on and you say something more than ‘Thank You’ or ‘Happy New Year’ as you alight, you’re an asshole. Yes, I’m sure that was some bad traffic. It is indeed getting dark earlier these days. Some people have shit to do, now get out the damn way.

Type Three – Normal People

Hell, you’re probably all assholes too. But at least you know how to get off a bus.
