11:38 PM
Tiring day...... was out of house since 7am..... and only got back home at 9pm....
Was really unlucky today..... was taking 103 home.... and there is this bus driver who was driving the bus in a very jerky way until I felt like puking..... so I walked forward and asked this driver.....if there was something wrong with the bus.... To my dismay... this bus driver... shouted to me.... ''The bus is very old.... so it was like this....''
Well.... I tried not to have any argument with the driver... so I sat back to my seat..... but this driver.... continued this conversation with the rest of the passengers in the bus... He spoken in Hokkien.... that no one ever said this to him before..... and said that if I couldn't tahan an old bus... I can go and take a cab....
10 mins later in the bus.... this driver was still talking away about me with the rest of the passengers.... I was getting more and more irritated..... and just 1 stop before my bus stop... I went forward to this driver... and spoke to him nicely.... telling him.... there was no need for him to be so upset just because I asked him about the bus.... He stopped his bus at stood up telling me.... no one ever said that to him.... and told me off... I really doesn't want to argue with him... so I told him... please drive the bus... don't stop the bus for this kind of argument.... The next station was actually my bus stop... just prior alighting... the bus driver stood up again.... telling me off... I was really pissed off by then....
I told the driver.... I'm not here to find fault with him.... I only asked him if there was something wrong with the bus for going so slow and jerking badly... and there was really no need for him to be that upset.... I told him... I'm a nurse... I'm in a serivce line too... I'm not here to pick on him... He said... Nurse so what..... My daughters are all in Universities also.... and told me off again... Goodness.... Generation gap man!!!
It was really my luck.... I really have problems communicating with him..... I told him.... He is in a service line... He shouldn't talk to him passenger in such a way.... and I told him.... I'll write in to lodge a complaint on him.... He told me... Go ahead to complain.... He got the whole bus passengers' FRIENDS to be his witnesses....
Isn't it Frustrating?? I was so tired after a long day.....and yet.... met this kind of stubborn bus driver....
Just my luck.......
Well just online to vent my frustrations...... As I said... I won't online in MSN as often.... So it's time to sleep.....!!!
