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

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.

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

12th January 2014 at Middlesbrough Bus Station. Me and a mate were taking pics of this Olympian and I glimpsed this cheery fella on the top deck...

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 .

I see what you mean, he is not even looking at the camera for starters

It would be hilarious if he had a huge grin on his face and both fingers sticking up

He was doing it to my mate, who was also taking pictures of the same bus.

Oh - was he by chance on the other side of the road?

Standing a few feet away from me

Ah - the fog rises

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)

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...!

(19 Jun 2014, 9:13 pm)AIG20 wrote The passenger on the bottom looks as if he is picking his nose to me!

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.

I think this driver may be sticking two fingers up at me in Bishop Auckland a few weeks back.

Has anyone caught anyone getting there arse out or anything stupid along those lines

Going camping one year, a group of us set off in a few cars.

One lad in my car, decided to get his arse out and wapped it out of the window, as we overtook a mates car on the A690.

The best one I did, coming back from a Darlo in Nottingham in 2006 with my ex, we overtook a coachload of Hartlepool fans on the A19 near Billingham, they spotted the Darlo scarf on the back shelf and me with my top on, the usual sign language was exchanged, before my ex said 'I dare, you to pull a moonie' which I did, I have always liked to bare my arse for a laugh, on this occasion, I have never put my arse away so quick as I saw blue lights in the distance...

Dont know why, even though I am in my 30's I am still very childish and find it funny to bare my arse

I stripped down to my boxers whilst on a school trip (by coach) to Spain in 2009 for a dare...

I've had an Arriva Blyth driver give the V in a photo. It might mean "Fuck Off" or "Victory! Last day of 4068 at Blyth!". What do yous think? lol

I've had drivers pulling them blinds down in front of their faces as well

Here we see a driver who doesn't want the picture of his eyes.

Anyone who has tried to get a photo of Hunters of Tantobie service 713 will have had this plus the V's flicked at them.

Should have gone the whole hog and let it all hang out I have done stuff like that before, I would always go skinny dipping in hotel pools on the last night of a holiday and used to skinny dip at Murtons open air swimming pool when I was 7/8 years old...One of the funniest things I done was run round Asda Car Park naked for a prize in 2000, all I won was a box PG Tips teabags, I did it because my pal thought I would not dare, so I did...In 2005 I applied to go on Big Brother, and stripped off in the queue for photo, I thought the guy was a tabloid photographer and 2 days later I was in the paper...Not a national tabloid, but the Northern Echo.

In my last year at school, my French teacher pissed me off, so I walked out the class and building and set fire to my School Uniform, luckily I had PE that day, so had a change of clothes

Probably telling you to Fuck Off...very unprofessional, as I have posted before, I have had finger salutes in the past, on one occasion by the same driver in the space of 5 minutes, flipped me off coming into Park Lane, then again 5 minutes later when he went back out

That is downright dangerous, was he moving or stationary
