All types of people

This week is a little better than last mainly because I haven't had to go through Keynsham with its seemingly non stop roadworks. I don't know if it is the councils intention to kill the town off but that seems to be the result. Anyway, back to the title. I have been keeping a mental note of all the different types of people I have had on the bus this week. here are some of them.

• The lady who had no idea where she was
• The gent in the wheelchair who was profoundly disabled.
• The woman who despite me leaving from the correct bay at the correct time still shouted and chased me down the bus station for leaving from the wrong bay.
• The rather drunk man who asked, nicely, if he could bring his can on the bus.
• The rather sad man who spent the journey telling me how his life had fallen apart.
• The school child who suddenly remembered she had forgotten her bag.
• The deaf gent.
• The gent who stormed off the bus after a poor lady had a coughing fit complaining about the germs.

I could go on but this is just a snap shot of the types of people I interacted with every day. they all need to be treated in a different manner. So the next time you get on a bus spaare a thought for the driver and think of the skills they need and use every day. And that is before they drive the bus.
