[nagdu] Odd encounter

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Sean,

It does help when the driver has his/her eye on the ball.  /smile/  Still,
it can be very disconcerting in the short time before things get sorted out.
/smile/

One thing I have learned is to wait in the back of the line to get on if
things are crowded, so that I don't get all confused by the people moving
around where I'm trying to sit down.  It used to be that when people would
play the "after you" game, I would thank them politely and get on, which
would work fine unless there was something strange going on at the front of
the bus that I had to deal with -- like somebody trying to pet my dog or
getting down in her face to see if she would shake hands...  Good grief!

So now, I smile swweetly and say, Thanks, you go ahead please.  /lol/  This
doesn't stop surprising things from happening when it's time to sit down,
but it does give me a better chance of not being entirely baffled and
confuddled.  Just mostly.  /grin/

Most of our bus drivers here do a pretty good job of watching what's going
on, so when it's just obnoxious conversation, I get the impression they make
sure this innocent little lamb doesn't get off the bus and go home with the
drunk guy.  In fact, with one, the driver advised me to go to a different
stop, which I was happy to do as my new best friend staggered off all by his
lonesome.  Sheesh!  I agreed with the bus driver wholeheartedly, and she was
great about telling me how the next stop related to the stop I had planned
to get off on and how the streets between were laid out.  I thought that was
really great of her and told her so!

Anyway, glad your oddness was short and that Franklin was untroubled by the
crazy man.  /smile/  I love how you describe the look on his face.

The driver saw that guy was a little off. That and he was hitting on one 
lady who lives in my apartment complex, with her husband right there. THough

I think he didn't pay attention at all or he was asleep.

But the drunk was kicked off the bus after like 3 stops.

Yours,
