Because they have a right to!

At least they didn't ride down the gangway on a scooter and carelessly bump into you before taking their seat.

Sadly it seems like it was my fault for existing (as it always is!) from his facial expressions even though he was depriving me of legroom by spreading his legs right out like in the photo below and if you do this, expect some unamused facial expressions back. Considering how many were boarding at Darlington Rail Station, I was pretty likely to get someone sit in those seats BUT did they have to do the other things though?


This was kinda intended as a bit of a joke but things got worse as the journey went on and I became angry to the point I wanted to take action, especially as I was in not in the best mood to begin with. Sadly as ever, my joke has backfired and is now coming back to haunt me, annoying thing is, I thought that this hadn't posted as I had poor signal but sadly I was wrong!

I will shut up now as every time I seem to say something lately, it gets people annoyed with me and has been leaving me feeling depressed as a result. Sorry for the reply to take this turn but I am really annoyed with myself at the moment.

30th April.

SmartZone (North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Newcastle and Sunderland) tickets all went up, as did the Network One Explorer Tickets (adult, child and family).

Ok, not complaining now as the child ticket is cheaper and older!

Second day in a row where I've gone somewhere, arrived and then realised that I have left something at home and have had to go home and get it, was a set of keys today!

I just got called by a random number and the person accused me of hacking into his wifi??? Apparently, he traced my IP address to find my phone number, and just completely had a go at me for hacking into his wifi?

Because a 14 year old is gonna hack into someone's wifi in a place hes never been before.. definitely...  



And now another number just called me saying that I was with someone's girlfriend who is from Liverpool????? What the heck is happening???

Internet down

The whole Internet?

It's the wireless. Only thing that was working was the house phone.

I sat watching daytime TV today. I hate "celeb's gossip" even more than I did before, if that's even possible. I want those 4 hours back...

Forgetting to note the fleet number and reg of a Transdev Keighley President I had on the 760, wouldn't bother me if it weren't for the fact that I recorded a video for my YouTube and knowing which bus it is, sort of is important.

Keep unintentionally falling out with people I know and I have only myself to blame for being a socially awkward muppet [emoji20]

Another day, another plank on a bike for me to shout at! [emoji19]

Don't care if I offend anyone, because I am pig sick of the ignorance of some people on bikes, at least once a fortnight I have one narrowly miss me and I even had one woman get cross with me because I was walking on a footpath which I have every right to do but she seemingly disagrees with this. Always my as well!

It was in Darlington, so highly unlikely!

Was trying to walk through the town centre, there was woman coming in the opposite direction to my right, so I walk to her right (my left) and there was little space between us and at this point the cyclist decides to cut through the very limited space between me and the woman, luckily I stopped despite having almost zero time to react, annoyed me even more as further to my left, there was a road which is mostly pedestrianised.

Fed up with this, happens to me all the time, a few months back I had one clown who managed to go straight into the back of me on the main street in Preston where the shops are, at 7pm on a Sunday night when I was the only other person around! That's the standard I'm dealing with at times.

The people who have been members of this forum for longer already know I have had this issue for a while now.

YouTube

Every time I go to upload a video to my channel, it will do it fine for so long but then it just stops and won't progress any further and you have to start again. This keeps happening and it is really beginning to annoy the hell out of me, if it keeps happening, I'm just going to say "to hell with this!" got better things to do then shout at a laptop several times a week attempting to upload videos

Also, every time I've been on there on my laptop and a advert plays before a video and it has the option to skip after 5 seconds, instead to skipping the remainder of the ad, it instead plays the remainder and of course it always happens when a 3 minute long ad pops up.

Just gotten off 4960, I've owned sieves that leak less!

I had the same problem with 4958 this morning. Might as well have been out in it.......

Had a happy chappy driving this yesterday - Stopped dead in the middle of the road, opened the doors and told me I had no right to take his photo. This was after he took his earphones out....... I simply told him that he had the wrong destination screen on

Funnily enough, I got on this same bus (with a different driver) on the 101 last Friday, waited for it at the stop by Bishop Auckland Rail Station, as this bus normally only operates in Nexus land, I decided to get a photo of it as it approached the bus stop, I then boarded the bus and the driver said "I better not be in those photos" so, being the shy awkward anxious person that I am, I nervously replied "umm... it should be fine... "

It's moments like that which make you think that something dodgy might be going on!

Or more likely, we are just unlucky with drivers. Virtually every time I photograph a Dales & District bus, it's always that one driver who flicks the V's at you [emoji19]

Mind I've not had any problems before with Weardale drivers and I have taken photos of their buses a few times and then boarded.

4956 is giving it it's best shot in the Waggonway sieve impersonation competition......

It'll be "downgraded" if rumours are true that the service is getting 5 of the Simpicity Versa's.......

That should be fun, out of the blue versa's that have been on already, I've not seen one on time.
