If you were a bus driver what kind of bus driver would you be?

Would you be the friendly, jovial type who talks and jokes with all the passengers? Or would you be the 'don't make me tap the (do not talk to the driver) sign' type? I don't know what made me think of this odd question. Something made me think about how some bus drivers are such people people and some are such grouches! So, which would you be? I think I would be a grumpy one, people kinda annoy me.

Oh, LittleStormy. I would make sure that I never ride on your bus. Or none of my kids either.

Ya, really! A bus load of eight year olds at 7 am would be a little much for me to handle!

I'm with you. I get annoyed easily, and I don't like noise when I'm driving. You should see me just trying to drive my kids around! I always have to crank the tunes while I drive and constantly tell them to be quiet, even if they're just talking in normal voices. So I definitly would not make a good bus driver!

I think that it would depend on what kind of bus I was driving. If I was driving a Deuce in Vegas or something, I think I would be pretty talkative. I would try to help people find their way around and such. For the most part, I have a hard time being rude. So even if I didn't like someone, I would probably just smile. And then I would be thankful they finally got off of my bus. LOL Thanks for starting this discussion and making my mind wonder a bit. Have a great day!

I wouldn't be able to be rude either, but I would definitely be frustrated!

Hi. jessp. I would be very quiet and polite. I would just do my job and respect the kids and the parents as well. I would not be nosy by trying to ask personal questions that does not concern me either. I would be very attentive to what takes place on my bus. I will drive smoothly without being a fast driver. I would never be grumpy towards my students or parents at all.
