I'm going to have to give this week's award to my bus driver. We're cruising through downtown on the way to the office, making all the regular stops, with a slightly crowded bus, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Then we pull up at the Pike St. stop (as in Pike Place Market, as in heart of downtown) and people get off, people get on, I assume we'll be on our merry way shortly. Wrong. The bus rolls forward a few feet, then stops again (despite the green light and moving traffic) and the door re-opens. I assume there's someone running to catch the bus. Wrong. The bus driver starts hollering out the door at a man on the sidewalk.
"HEY! Hey man! HEY!"
Young guy looks around confused, trying to see who the driver is yelling at.
"Hey you! Yeah you! Hey buddy...do you have another one of them cigarettes? Can I get one of them?"
Yes, my bus driver held up traffic and our bus route to scream out the bus at a stranger on the sidewalk to beg for a cigarette that he apparently was planning to smoke while driving my bus.
More bizarre than truly douche, but still.
