Oops I did it again, I broke a new bus.

Making a right hand turn, I end up losing my poles. I hop off the bus and head to the rear of the coach to put them back up. I look up at them and notice that the wire that holds the shoe (the part that runs along the wire) in place is broken, leaving the shoe dangling from the end of the pole. There is absolutely no way I can drive the bus in this state. I get back in the seat and park it on the side of the road. "Sorry, folks. The pole is actually broken, so this bus will not being going to the university. If you wouldn't mind taking the bus behind me; it should be arriving in approximately ten minutes. Thank you for your patience and understanding" I announce. To my surprise my passengers are incredibly understanding and all get off the bus without grumbling. "Don't you worry dear, these things happen" one old lady comments.



I sit back in my seat and start working on a sudoku puzzle while I wait for the mechanics to show up. Hearing a horn sound, I look up and notice a really cute guy in a truck waving at me. I open my window and he shouts across the street to me "I just had to tell you this. You are the hottest bus driver I've ever seen in my entire life" "Thanks" I reply. "We need more chicks like you driving buses, it'll entice everyone to ride transit! Have a good night" he says. "You too" I respond. With that he drives away, and I'm left with a warm fuzzy feeling.
