Yet again my trip to work provides evidence of the ridiculousness that this blog just stamps its feet and rolls around on the ground in a tantrum in an effort to get. Oh the morning bus ride, how fun you always are.
This morning the bus I caught was packed, and I ended up standing right the front of the bus holding on for dear life which isn't always that fun, but looking straight out the front window of the bus in its entirety is a different experience. Now mr scooter man of ridiculousness, is not only ridiculous but also lucky. Lucky not to be dead, as in NOT alive anymore.. I don't know if you've noticed Mr scooter man, but buses are quite big, like bigger than cars and certainly much bigger than your meagre frame of flesh and bone, and your little scooter.. Buses are big, heavy and made of metal which is hard, really really hard.
What happened this morning was this.
The bus pulled up at a T intersection in the leftmost lane turning right. So there is 2 lanes both turning right.
The light goes green the bus pulls out commencing the right turn. Little scooter comes up beside the bus on the right hand side.
Just as the scooter noses in front of the us, ridiculous little scooter man pulls in font of the bus and turns left!!! Bus driver man, hits the brakes and somehow manages to not hit ridiculous little scooter man, and having the vantage point I had during the whole thing I have no idea how ridiculous little scooter man didn't become the ridiculously injured or dead guy formerly known as ridiculous little scooter man.
One thing that made me smile was that once it was realised that we wouldn't be seeing the aftermath of bus vs scooter I immediately looked at the driver, his face was a brilliant combination of, anger, relief, fear, and frustration. Then I realised he was trying to turn the corner, glare at ridiculous little scooter man, and find the button for the horn at the same time which he couldn't because it's one of those horns that has 2 little buttons on the steering wheel, and by the time he found it, it was way to late.
Congratulations, ridiculous little scooter man, I estimate your ridiculousness to be within the range of 9 - 9.9 out of 10
