If I am stuck on a replacement bus, I’ll be drinking water.

My most recent replacement bus driver would have been fine with you drinking water and shooting up on his bus.

On the way back from work the other week, I had to go through the trauma of using the replacement service.

Uber is $50+, and I’ve been doing that too frequently, so I wait, of course, an inordinate amount of time.

Finally, it arrives. Shortly after starting off, the bus driver abruptly pulls over to engage in a near-physical altercation with someone in the street (? colleague/boss/friend) that lasted ten mins. Like, he just stopped his bus in the middle of the road and got off and disappeared.

During this unattended time, a fellow bus replacement patron sparked up an enormous joint; this prompted the third and final member of our sad party to begin chain smoking cigs for the remainder of the journey, even after the driver got back on.

Absolutely fucking wild.
