You start brooding over how close you\u2019ve come to catching it. Stomping over to the bus schedule furiously, you check it You plop yourself down to the nearest seat, trying and failing to look busy as strangers rush by you with concerned looks.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0According to the schedule, the bus was due to arrive in 5 minutes, so you get up and walk to the terminal. No buses showed up. You wait for another 5 minutes, and again no vehicle welcomed you inside. Debating whether or not to go back and sit, you decided to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0A few seconds later, you end up next to a person who smelled as if they\u2019ve never been in a tub. Reminding yourself to be polite, you don\u2019t get up to leave.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0As you glance at your watch, you realize you\u2019ve been waiting for 40 minutes. On cue, <em>three<\/em> buses arrive at the same time. This is where it gets crazy. Barely five people were waiting and the drivers decided to make us wait 40 minutes and then come to the station all at once. Even kindergarteners know that it doesn\u2019t take <em>three<\/em> big empty buses to fill <em>five<\/em> people. That\u2019s just insane!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0So that\u2019s about it.
