I took an Ambien once and tried to stay up. This thread is exactly what that was like.

Lucid, **IF** what you have related is accurate or even true, the only real complaint you have is the competence level of the driver. I can understand the bus driver not remembering if her bus happens to stop on the corner where Joe’s Variety Store is located, but an airport?! When I go down Cicero Ave., I tend to notice that I’m passing Midway Airport. It’s not exactly an obscure entity! LOL So, a complaint about that, and only THAT seems to be warranted along with a reprimand from her superior.

Actually, had it been me, I would have just raised my voice and asked, “Does anyone here know if this bus goes to the airport?!” I’m confident that at least one passenger, anxious for me to produce my ticket and get the hell out of the way, would have given me an answer forthwith. Had you done that, you could have either presented your tickets and taken your seats, or left the bus to wait for the correct bus to arrive.

I’m afraid that I have to agree with the others here in saying you have managed to make Mount Everest out of a molehill.

I, for one, did not know a BUSWRECK could be as entertaining as a TRAINWRECK. That’s what I learned in this thread.

You sober today Lucid-lunatic?

I am convinced this is an alternate universe and I was uninvited. Am I real? I will go look in the mirror.

Oh, wait, maybe I AM real, and there really is dog on the bus? No one sees it but me.  
Everyone else is crazy, I am the only sane person. Why am I misunderstood? I am gonna cry now.

I find I’m starting to sympathize with the female bus driver character. Anyone else?

Who wants to start a kickstarter for her? Maybe we raise enough to buy her a pair of noise-canceling headphones.

Have you ever seen the episode of Spongebob on the bus to Nowhere.  
I think the OP may encountered that bus driver.  
Seriously, Spongebob Squarepants is dark comedy.

My theory - **Lucid** was kicked off the bus for talking to his imaginary girlfriend instead of giving the **male** driver his ticket.

"You’re all being really weird about this "  
When the whole world seems weird it’s usually a pretty good sign that, well, you’re the one that is weird.

I wonder why he needs a printer?  
It’s that manifesto, It’s just begging to be printed, right?  
I hope he doesn’t lose that document. He went psycho over a lost post. I’d hate that to happen, on the heels of all the other wrongs committed to his person. It might send him right over the edge, oh wait, he’s already hanging off the edge.

CEASE YOUR CHITTERING, VERMIN!

What are you jokers doing to my beloved pit thread!? I leave for a few hours and the vermin comes crawling out of the woodwork! Where the fuck do you think you are, vermin!? This is MY Pit thread. I DO decide what it’s about. Read the thread title! Read the OP! Read my last post, vermin! Answer me!

In case you’re wondering, I call you vermin because you all squirm like maggots. Answer the questions!

My new automated post is me reading the thread title and the OP to you in a sing-song voice.

Bye!
