This is the reason I'm doing this AMA. I of course saw that post and replied. People requested an AMA so why not.

I have been punched once in my 9 years, however, it wasn't nearly as harmful as what happened to that driver. I was hit from a mentally handicapped individual. He is in his 60's and I'm 29 and in fairly good shape, but regardless it was unwarranted. He was probably off his medication and miserable because it was raining. He came up behind me and started bitching saying I wasn't on time blah blah. I ignored him, which as a driver you get very good at doing. During his rant he told me that he wanted off at the next stop, as in "let me off here now". I don't take kindly to rude people so, because he didn't ring the bell, I didn't stop. That's what set him off and he kind of short jabbed me in the jaw. I was lucky enough that I saw it coming and managed to turn my head and take the punch. Now he was 280lbs of scared mentally handicapped man who was trapped on the bus. I wasn't opening the doors for anyone except the police. When they did show up he didn't want off the bus, but they didn't give him the chance. His bouncing off the pavement as they removed him forcefully was enough for me. I didn't press charges and I still let him ride my bus today. He knows who I am and what he did. He doesn't say anything to me and always gets off the back door.

Yes! An old drunk heading home for the end of the night decided he couldn't wait to get off the bus to number 2. He dropped trou and grabbed on to the seats on both sides, stood in the middle of the isle and started pitching loaf. I noticed when it was already too late... I stopped the bus fairly quickly and of course he fell over, stepping into his freshly made pie. Off the bus he went, and I sure as hell wasn't chasing him. I had to radio in for a bus change, and thankfully I just drive them and don't clean them.

No, but I think I'm going to start.

It'll be here any minute.

We were up until recently. They put a policy into effect that we can't have headphones in, even if it's just one ear. We are allowed to have a radio on the dash, but I don't agree with that. If I don't want to listen to some kids shitty rap music through is phone speaker what makes you think grandma wants to listen to my European Power Metal?
