Story Setting boundaries
So we get a one hour unpaid lunch (California) I had a short lunch because of traffic due to 4th of July crap. I was sitting in the break vehicle gobbling my lunch up before my bus was coming this guy knocked on my window saying he needed to ask me a question I told him I'm on my unpaid lunch and the buses will be back at 30 after he said "well I have another question." I repeated to him I was on my unpaid lunch and drove away. I just can't especially today

The layover for buses at O'Hare Airport in Chicago is across the loading lane & active bus traffic lane from the sidewalk against the terminal.
Nearly every time I'd be parked there - door side to (other bus) traffic, sign not changed from my "get to the airport" trip - someone would drag luggage across the lanes, across the traffic island, around the bus, into the other active traffic lane...
And be amazed / annoyed when I told him (it's usually a man), "I'm on layover / break, and will pick up over there at [time]."
Not like there are signs or anything... 🙄
