...been given a one fingered salute by a bus driver and managed to catch the bugger?

This thread gives you the opportunity to share these photos... Just to get your own back.

I'll start off with one I took in Darlington of a National Holidays coach:

I don't own or camera, or take photos. I do intend to in the future though, and hopefully I'll be able to take photos as good as yours, Dan Smile

I have had a few drivers shake their heads at me, if I put my hand out at the stop and they're running a few minutes late. Happened once with 5296 on the 43; I got on, and after stating my destination, I asked the driver why he had shook his head, then told me I was only travelling two stops!! The cheek some of them make....

A lot of them also complain 'that I could just walk'. Anyone else ever had that?

I've had a few. Had an argument on Jackson Street with a driver of the Orbit once. Another with a Go Ahead driver near the Albert Hall in London, who got out his cab to start shouting at me. He dropped his arse when I shoved my camera in my bag and started going towards him though, quick to get back in his cab and shut the doors. Tongue

Had it once at Park Lane about 2 year ago, bus comes in, driver gives me a 1 fingered salute, about 5 minutes later, same driver does it again, I got pictures both times, but not at the he crucial moment.

I have even seen drivers cover there faces with the running board...Quite dangerous

As the bus turned round to exit the station, he did a 'V' sign at us - with his child sitting next to him still!

It almost seems on the photo that he isn't aiming his middle finger at you - more at someone on the other side of the road Tongue.

Ah - the fog rises Smile

I once saw an older man taking notes on a notepad while bus-spotting and while he was writing something down a passing driver on the 21 stuck his tongue out at him.

On Bazza's photo stream, there is a driver on 3819 covering his face with the running board.

Parked where he shouldn't be too.
Either that, or he is not in full control of his moving vehicle, due to the hand being off the wheel (coupled with his line of vision being obscured) Wink

I hit lucky today... Got a middle finger from a normal passenger and two fingers from another enthusiast - on the same bus, at the same time...

The normal passenger tried to disguise it as scratching his nose, but I'd be worried if he was scratching his nose with his middle finger whilst looking at me for over 30 seconds...!

Haha, I was taking the photos in paparazzi mode and his middle finger moved about around his face, but the middle finger was clearest on that one.
