There's only one time I've ever been rude to a driver, and that's only because he called me either a fat f**k or a fat c**t under his breath (I can't remember) for asking him to actually do his job and drive to the last stop on the route. I mean, he wasn't exactly Twiggy himself!

Had he been nice and said he needed to get back to the depot I would have got off the bus and went on my merry way, but he lied and said that the bus was supposed to terminate there. After disputing the fact, he showed me either his running board or the timetable, which clearly showed that it was supposed to go an extra stop.

Obviously I reported him to GNE, and got the usual "we'll pass it onto the depot". Not sure if they ever did anything, but even a few years later he still looks away when I board his bus, which I find rather amusing!
