TTC Tales - The Crazy Bus Driver
He looked nice with his goatee and bald head. You don't see many asian drivers on my route, but there he was. A nice looking bus driver, or "operator" as they preferred to be called.
He really did look nice. That is, until, he tried to kill me. I don't hold it as a personal offense, mind you. I was, afterall, just one person in a busload of people. But I was on the side of the bus that would have bourn all of the impact.
Pulling out of the station in a rush, the bus turned left, narrowly avoiding another bus and almost smacking its right side--my side--into an 18-wheeler.
But that's not all. Imagine this: bus is on the left lane, truck is on the right. Bus driver wants to turn right. He was really crazy. The truck driver had no choice but to let us turn or risk killing people, most of all, me.
The rest of the ride was just as smooth: go up to 60 km/h, brake suddenly, rinse, lather, repeat. Gotta say, I still fell asleep though.

The awkwardness of being invited into a party where all the guests are no one you know is so wonderful. Damn, this thing doesn't have a sarcasm font. Suffice it to say, the food was good, the company was okay. Not great food, but what can you really expect from a bar? The company is probably worth getting to know.
Should have had the nachos. Ah, the nachos that got away... I'll miss you forever. *tear*
