[nagdu] guide dog school problem

It is annoying because you have to constantly say the same things over and over and over again. Of course they aren’t to the same people, but they get tiring. People ought to leave it all alone.

While we are stopped he is watching the folks coming up the stairs to make sure there is clearance and everything passes the super strict Monty safety standards.  all of this happens in about one second, but one of the people on the stairs apologizes for being in our way.  I responded with something to the effect of, "your fine.  He's supposed to stop at the top of the stairs so I can be sure to find the first step."  She made some comment of amazement and how that was such a good idea.
