whacky shuttle drivers...
So I had to get a shuttle from one building to another today. Why isn't important, in fact it was terribly dull but that is such an aside and a dull one I won't go into it.
On the shuttle I've encountered some crazy drivers... They all were driving too. Strange that. Some highlights include the one driver who was incredulus over the fact that given her charge (to transport unsuspecting passengers from point a to point b for money) she was expected to drive accident free. This was years ago and she was pissed that if she were to get into a wreck (any wreck) she would get an 8 day suspension even if it wasn't her fault. I'm smiling and nodding because it's my unsuspecting life in her hands but I was happy to get off that bus.
Another guy had driving gloves on and spent the whole time telling me why he prefers a small shuttle over a large shuttle. He had driving gloves on driving a dodge caravan... i really can't remember his reasoning for wanting to drive the dodge caravan over the short bus like bigger thing, he had gloves on. he scared me.
Or the old friendly talkative man who's shuttle broke down and would only go in reverse and had to kick us off of his shuttle. He was nice. He called us another shuttle.
They have candy in the shuttles... I could with my braces actually eat some, but alas they kinds I like are all sticky and taffy like.
Today was a ride... i mentioned the candy and how I used to always get a piece of taffy and now I can't. She was a little talkative. she went on and on about her son's dental care (we went like 4 blocks total and it seemed like an eternity). She found out he needed his jaw broken and... and... she wasn't going to pay... long story (literally) short here.... she ... it was expensive... oh fuck who cares.
Then she asks me if I still have six employees working for me. (in fact I have none) and I tell her no trying to get her to figure out that she has me mixed up with somone else... no luck... She asked me about if I was hiring... aha... we have motivation. I think she was trying to get her son a job.... oh look my stop... so someone else could pay to have his jaw broken maybe? oh look my stop... ... bye
Thats the good thing about shuttle drivers... you rarely see one twice. Let's hope?
