I was on the bus today ….minding my own business ….
A lady of about 65 got on, there was some discussion with the driver about the fare , I didn’t hear what it was but it took a couple of minutes to sort.
Another two or three passengers got on, showed their bus pass and went to sit down.
Then …..a female got on….she tried to give the driver a certain amount of money …..he was not happy. She said “I’m 16 “…..she was 35 if she was a day !
The driver said something …I didn’t hear ….then she repeated “ I only ever pay this much …. I’m 16 ( I looked at her and thought ‘ what in, dog years ‘! ).
She then looked at the back of the bus and called “ Mom, come here “…..
Who went to her ….but the lady who had the discussion with the driver earlier !
By no stretch of the imagination was she 16 and I don’t know why she tried to pass herself off as having to pay child fare.
She then said to the driver “ you are a miserable b*gger, I can see it in your face. “ ….they both left the bus.
*** just for the record …..as I got off the bus I thanked the driver, who smiled….so I don’t think he was a miserable b*gger at all…. !
Hope it gave you a laugh …it certainly made me chuckle this morning.

I don’t think what she was planning on spending her money on was exactly healthy…..not judging , but it looked like she was either going to drink it or smoke it ….

She would have been better off claiming she had been mugged and got no money ….the driver may have been sympathetic to that.

I know people will say or do anything to get out of paying full price.

She chose the one thing that was unbelievable ….she was way older than 16 ….

There are people always trying to get things cheap no matter where you are.

@traceyjayne Let us not be surprised at this!!! I have decided to stop aging myself. I’m currently 67 and 14 months and shall henceforth just add months, not years, so that I’ll be perpetually 67.

And how much difference is the child fare? Was it even worth her trying to scam the bus driver?

Some people will put it over others at the drop of a hat. I'm glad the driver stood/sat his ground.

Bus drivers,
Tell you what, one on the Stagecoach bus here needs a good slap.
He made a disabled woman get off a bus because her ticket only lasted to the stop before she wanted to get off
About 400 yards
Must have been more like 4 miles for the poor woman
I complained about him
Bus company said they would send him for re- education
