One afternoon, I was riding a Metro fishbowl on my way home from work. We had just made the right turn from Kenmore onto Walter Reed and were stopped mostly into the left lane on Walter Reed while waiting to turn left onto Glebe.
Dunno why but I looked up from my Washington City Paper and glanced over my left shoulder. There was a little, brown Japanese sedan behind the bus. Shortly after I went back to reading my paper, there was this godawful grinding noise. I looked up again and that little, brown Japanese sedan was now in front of the bus! The sedan had literally squeezed by the bus! And was now pinned between the bus and the curb!
Yep, you guessed it: the driver of the sedan claimed the bus had hit her! Fortunately for the bus driver, I came forward with what I had seen and heard.
