Stereotyping is so much fun

There are five types of people who sit at bus stops.

1. The ones who are blissfully unaware of anything happening outside of their own reality(fantasy).
These folks tend to be characterised as those who sit at bus stops, ignore the bus as it's approaching the stop, appear startled as the bus comes to a stop in front of them, and finally outraged when the driver opens the door and asks if they want a ride. "How dare you even ask if I want a ride? If I wanted the bus, I'd let you know. Now let me get back to shooting heroine into my veins."

2. The ones that are too cool for school.
These people either ignore the bus as it's approaching the stop, or back away and take a sudden interest in reading a poster on the bus stop wall. As you drive past them, you can see them waving frantically, quite often jumping up and down and finally flipping you the bird. "Why the hell didn't you stop? I'm waiting here. You're supposed to pick me up even though, I showed no intention whatsoever of wanting your bus."

3. The interested ones who definitely want the bus.
As you approach the stop, they stand up and start walking towards the I.D. post. If it's a stop where multiple buses stop, they'll usually accompany this behavior with a wave to let you know that yes, this is the bus they want.

4. The polite wavers who are not interested in taking the bus.
It could be that they had a rock in their shoe that they had to remove or their trick knee was acting up, or a bug stuck in their eye, or that they're official bus stop bench testers. The reason doesn't really matter. They're sitting at the stop, they don't want your bus and they wave you by. I love this type. I wish there were more of them.

5. The overly hyper, had ADD as a child, and speaks a mile a minute with hand gestures to match and DOES NOT want the bus in any way, shape or form.
As you're coming into the stop, they wave you by. Unfortunately you have people to drop off so you continue pulling into the stop. By this time the person has stood up, arms and legs thrashing wildly (looks as though they are directing an airplane to land or having a seizure), flecks of spittle flying wildly throughout the air and as you open the doors they state "I don't want the bus". Usually I'll reply with "I got that, but is it okay if I let these people off?"
