True story: When I was young I was taking the bus with (apparently) a new driver and he took a wrong turn. He didn't know how to get back on the route, so I said that I would tell him how to get back if he would go down my street (which was on the way). So I told him and he let me off at my house.
😂😂 lol Willie. My dad was a bus driver in the mid 60's and on his route along the main roads, going from one part of town to another, my nan was always at the bus stop with everyone else who we're going shopping into town. The mad thing is, if she wasn't there? He'd go totally off route and drive to her house to pick her up! A nice but illegal gesture that caused panicked residents to phone up the bus station to ask why the hell there was a double decker bus reversing out of their quiet, remote cul-de-sac. Dad would get suspended for a while but they'd always have him back. I was shocked when he told me that he and other drivers were often still pissed from the night before, and used to race each other back to the depot. I can only imagine the passenger's terror as they were launched through town at Mach 3 lol. How they got away with it I'll never know hehe.....oh those were the days.
