RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - NK53 TKT - 22 Aug 2015 (22 Aug 2015, 4:05 pm)mb134 wrote Chances are they'll be slowing down incase there are people at the stop, or to avoid running early. They actually slow down after the stop. Once the bus stopped and the drivers had a conversation; thus, I missed my X10 connection RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Malarkey - 22 Aug 2015 Seeing Bazza photographing the Sunderland Team coach as walked into work at 10:50am, endlessly waving trying to get my attention. And having to half hour in this minging weather for the 56 as the 21:11pm from SOL done a flyer. RE: What's annoying you today?

V3 - BusLoverMum - 22 Aug 2015 I like the air clearing effects of a good thunderstorm, but after 3 hours of it, I'd like this one to just STFU, now. RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - NK53 TKT - 22 Aug 2015 I have developed a hatred for 618 Just got home from a trip on the Q3. NSAs are silent and still have screens saying next stop Great Park Park and Ride and this confused the driver who drove into SAGE, attempted to get the Q3 that leaves at 09:33 from Brunton Lane. Turns out it runs light to Great Park so the bus does not exist. RE: What's annoying you today?

Miffed ain't the word citaro5284 and I beat you by half an hour - 6:30pm to 3:30am..! Had to take off my hoodie at midnight because it was that wet - was making me cold and weighing me down. Weather was alright from then onwards. RE: What's annoying you today?

I love a good thunderstorm. Well, when I'm not out in it at least. I find it quite relaxing actually! RE: What's annoying you today?

The lamp-post outside wasn't working so it was pitch black, with the occasional flash and thunder. Got no sleep until after 12. RE: What's annoying you today?

I was out driving in it last night. Saw loads of flashes but had my music blasting so I couldn't hear the thunder. It wasn't until the rain came down heavily I twigged what was going on.

Quite different when you have been on your constantly feet for more than 10 Hours and your absolutely knackered though, didnt mind the rain, I just didnt like the thought of waiting 25 Minutes for the 56, having finished work slightly later than planned due other members of staff finishing at 7pm or before leaving us short staffed, and then leaving us tidy everything up etc which again took even longer than was originally thought.

I walked 15,000 steps from 18:30 (when citaro5284 picked me up) to 03:30 and half of that was in a thunder storm - you're getting no pity from me..! Given that I'd woken up early doors the day before, I was up for a good 20-21 hours before actually getting three hours sleep. I too was constantly on my feet - climbing on and off buses and up and down stairs on 16 Fab56 Volvo B9s to check Next Stop Announcement screens and audio volume at midnight was perhaps the most difficult part!

V3 - Jimmi - 24 Aug 2015 One thing that annoys me slightly by having this hobby is some people seem to think I know every bus timetable inside out even though I don't, was asked what time a 5A ran to Bishop Auckland this morning but I didn't know and the response was "you should know" well I don't! The one that really annoys me is when I get asked stuff like "what time is the last 56 from Ferryhill?" how am I supposed to know that? so I'm left to viewing the timetable to get the answer to their question, why they couldn't do that is beyond me. Someone also got annoyed because I didn't know what times the train runs, although in my defence they gave me no idea of what sort of time they'd like to travel so I couldn't be bothered finding the timetable online then reading out the whole bleeding thing.

What does annoy me is when people who dont talk to me from one week to the next ask me to find bus times for them, I do it because the being the person I am I find it hard to tell people to 'fuck off' One request made me laugh one day, lady asked the driver what time a bus came and where from, bus driver said 'I dont know, why dont you ask him' pointing to me [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] RE: What's annoying you today? V3 - Jimmi - 24 Aug 2015 (24 Aug 2015, 8:35 am)MrFozz wrote Does not bother me, as I know the buses around here... The thing that irritates me about it is when I get asked and I don't know and people expect me to know when the buses should come. I don't really know what times buses run on mornings and evenings, I only really know the times during the daytime. RE: What's annoying you today?

Once had a teacher ask if I could help her find rail fares online, she had found £XX on 'the trainline' while she had found £XX on East Coast, she wanted me to try and find a cheaper fare...! I hated her so I went "TRAVEL IN FIVE MONTHS TIME! Oh, and book with East Coast". |
