Vogue, I do the first thing you complain about, and I’d like to know how it’s skin off your nose. I don’t do it to look important, I do it to see if the bus is coming or not.

Yeah, but what if it’s not? Then you get back on the curb and wait like a normal person. I’ve never seen anyone look down the street, not see a bus, then get into a car and drive away. It’s not any skin off my nose, I just don’t understand why people do it.

On occasion if I don’t see a bus coming I’ll take a cab if one is going by.

I still want to know why you’ll wait 30 minutes for a damn bus and then there will be three of the damn things in a row. A friend of mine called them “banana buses” because they come in bunches.
