REUBS VS. AN OBSTINATE BUS DRIVER

Reubs, my former flatmate, posted an account of his annoying battle with an obstinate bus driver:

The other day I got off the MRT (the subway) and ran to the bus stop. I was in luck, because the bus that comes once every 15 minutes was right there, waiting for me. The bus door was closed so I politely knocked on the glass to ask the bus driver to open it. And you know what happened? He kept looking straight ahead. Maybe he didn't hear me, so I pounded the glass harder. Now people started staring and my hands would soon be bleeding from punching the glass. Either the guy was deaf or he was one of those crazy bus drivers who don't let people on the bus. I totally don't understand that. IT'S THEIR FRIGGIN' JOB TO LET PEOPLE ON THE BUS.

Read the outcome of this tragic battle! Link

Maybe becoz you were pounding on the glass panel and you looked like the guy from chainsaw massacre.

I wouldn't let someone into my car if he was pounding on my window (like you mentioned.. near to bleeding??)

i was politely knocking for the first minute or so. It wasn't till I realized he was ignoring me when I started slamming my fists into the bus.
Did I mention this went on for at least 3 minutes? That may seem like a short time but it's an eternity when you're reenacting the car-bashing scene from Final Fight
