Oh dear!  I don't want to be the top poster in this thread as well, so if the rest of you could regularly voice your annoyances, that would be great.

Annoyingly this reply adds another post which will put me closer to the top.

I couldn't search for photos on the app or on the main site earlier tonight which annoyed me, especially as I'm now trying to not upload too many photos of the bus and instead get as many different buses as possible although I am not taking it too seriously and not being able to search meant I was unable to check if I had a photo of a bus or not.

Yeah, that's my problem.

And now, I'm stood waiting at Portrack Asda for the 0943 13 because I just missed the previous one.
I'm stating to come down with a cold

The toilets behind the Gates shopping centre in Durham also often has pervs in there, went in there once and I'm sure some middle aged guy was looking down.

The toilets behind the Gates need firebombing. They are utterly revolting. I used them once in an emergency (pouring with rain, I was busting and didn't have time to get up to the marketplace and back before an optician's appointment) and another woman went into the cubicle next to mine, did the most explosive squit and walked out again without even going near the sinks.

I opened the door to get out again with my foot!
I tried to photograph 5170 on the Q2 but some fat arsehole walked right in front of me, by the time he'd moved, the bus had gone.

The public have all the right to walk in front of you, if you are taking up the footpath.

I personally wouldn't, but most people couldn't care less whether your taking a photo or not.

He must have been very large if the bus disappeared in the time it took for the man to walk past you. Smile

Yes, but he could have easily walked behind me.

The traffic light was on green, but the driver was letting traffic coming off Springwell road go past, by the time he'd walked past the last car had gone and I didn't have enough time to get a rear shot.

How was he to know that you were wanting a photograph of the bus going past? He has a right to walk on the public footpath just as much as you or I. You can't try and suggest that he should walk behind you just to suit you.

I think he may have known, why else would I have the camera on my phone aimed at a bus?

How many people walk past you and notice that you're photographing something? Most people don't even notice you're there, let alone what you're doing. He could have easily mistaken you aiming your phone as something else.
People do it to me, and I'm pointing a DSLR...

It's just one of those things. People will just go about their business, and not even realise they've walked in front of you. However, i do find it happens less, if you stand closer to the kerb.

I was quite close to the kerb, I was about 1 &1/2 foot away from it!
