Last time I ordered a bus pass, it took them almost a full month to get it to me, for some reason. Well, I ordered a new 3-month Apr-Jun bus pass on Sunday night from the Metro website. In the mail yesterday was a form from the post office saying that... something was waiting for me to sign for and pick up. There were none of the usual identifying marks on the post office form that would indicate what it was. Just a string of cryptic numbers. I went to the post office this morning and picked it up, and it turned out to be the new bus pass.
In other related news, the bus driver today was an ass. The bus arrived at the park and ride about five minutes early. However, he pulled over on the side of the road and let the bus behind him (which was on time) go past. I had no problem with that, really. The other bus pulled into the park and ride and started letting people on, and the bus I was waiting for then also pulled into the park and ride. Instead of walking back to the bus I decided to wait for him to pull up normally. Well, the other bus left and he just... kept sitting there. This I had a slight problem with, but I just shrugged and walked out to the bus anyway and got on. Then the guy pulled up and was apparently NOT going to stop and let anyone else on, because when some old guy started walking toward the bus at this point, the driver said, quite loudly, "You dumb fart!" and then had to stop and let the guy on. Had he just pulled up to begin with, this wouldn't have been a problem. So, yeah, the bus driver was an ass today.
