SORT of tying into what Freebase is saying, but going off on a slight tangent, it bugs the hell out of me when I ring the bell on the bus, go up to the front door standing beside the driver (headphones on or not, makes no difference --- earbuds in I mean) and they'll go by my stop!
Me: "WTF?? I wanted to get off there!"
Driver: "Should have rung the bell."
Me: "I DID."
Driver: "Nah. Didn't hear it."
Usually, the next stop is like five minutes' drive away, so a long walk back. But what freaks the hell out of me is WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINK I WAS STANDING THERE FOR, THE ****ING COMPANY??? I mean, bit of logic here please! It's just a way for someone to assert their pathetic bit of control over you: oh I'll just fly past the stop, he can't say anything to me. ****ers.
