so, here it is. last saturday, i got on the community circulator. so the bus is running late, like it always is, and i, being the lazy piece of crap that i am, decide to wait for it anyway. mind you, i got out of karate at 1:20, and the thespian induction was at 2:00. That's fourty minutes. so the bus gets there at 1:30 which isn't bad, considering. Now, the dumb thing on my part was that i got on the bus in lakewood, on a saturday. Now if you've never ridden a bus in lakewood on a saturday, let me explain. first of all, traffic is awful, people are suddenly dumber on saturday, and finally, the bus goes places that it shouldn't, on saturday's. so we finally crawl to a strightaway at bunts. no traffic in sight. just as i feel we're about to get to my stop, the stupid bus turns north on bunts! now see, i'm no expert on the bus route, but i know that the bus never went that way on bunts before. so i'm like "excuse me, but doesn't the bus drive on detroit?" now of course, this smart ass remark got me a cold look from the driver in the rearview mirror, and this crotchety woman (as most bus drivers are...crotchety, not neccessarily women) said "tops" yeah, tops, that's it. and i'm like "what", the woman across the aisle from me is like "what?" so we figure we just have to wait it out. then, the bus pulls into, you guessed it...tops. the freakin circulator goes to tops on saturday. and that isn't ven what pisses me off, it's that there was no one there. just the little round sign on the side of the building. so we got the oppurtunity to stop at the traffic light at bunts again. and finally, i got to my stop. but it doesn't end there. i think out of spite, even though i pulled the little cord, and the little light that said "stop requested" turned on, the driver drove past clarence and stops at cohassett. jerk. so i walk back home, with just enough time to grab my pickle platter and drive over to the induction. so the moral of the story is....don't ride the bus on saturday, you'd be better off riding on a pair of elton john's sunglasses.
