METRO Mayhem!! (Or, how Lupo almost got into a fight...)

[Chanlin]

Is there a more fitting description for laziness, than paying for a 20 foot bus ride?
(Yeah, I know. She probably got ridiculed off the bus... but still.)

Not paying for one?

Ok, so its not quite 20 feet but hey

[BlaqueKatt]

group hug!!!!!


....um nevermind...got caught up in the moment......

[smileyeagle1021]

smiley, don't! Flattering as it is, I MUCH prefer gay friends. So much more fun, plus it's kinda fun to weird out SCs by talking about guy preferences in front of them when they're being particularly assy. The look on their faces. Priceless.

Lupo, if you find yourself in Salt Lake I will buy you a UTA day pass and we can ride around town talking about men weirding out the locals
The University line has better eye candy, but the Sandy line will get better reactions, Frontrunner is too expensive for just messing with people... routes 217, 200, 205, 41, 29, and 47 also tend to work pretty well for both eye candy and people's reactions

Edit- Frontrunner now has group passes for $10 for the full day for up to 4 people... and is valid as a transfer for the full day onto all other services for one person... if you were to come up we may just have to find out how suitable the eye candy on Frontrunner is

Sounds like my idea of a fun day! You're on!

Incidentally, I've been running into the same driver the last couple of days. Apparently, he's been switched to that route. Rather amusing, all told. I wonder if last Saturday was his first day on the route? Hell of an intro, if it was. Hmm...

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that I spent 18 years as a bus driver. Then I would like to say this to Lupo:

[Talon]

It's time to play everyone's favourite action-RPG, Ultimate SC Pwnage Quest!

Bus Driver (Driver) appears!
Cranky Old Woman (COW) appears!

COW attacks Driver with Unreasonable Demands!
Driver was hit for 5 HP!

Driver uses Reasonable Explanation.
It had no effect on COW!

COW calls for help.
Lupo appears!
But Lupo takes Driver's side!

Lupo casts Aura of Awesomeness!
Driver was healed for 5 HP!
COW was hit for 5 HP!

Driver uses Warning.
It had no effect on COW!

COW casts Screaming Hissyfit!
Driver was hit for 5 HP!
Lupo was hit for 5 HP!

Driver equips Cellphone.

Lupo attacks COW with Pwnage!
COW was hit for 10 HP!

COW casts Frivolous Threat!
It had no effect on Driver!
It had no effect on Lupo!

Lupo attacks COW with Pwnage!
An Epic Pwnage!
COW was hit for 99 HP!

COW casts Parting Shot!
It had no effect on Lupo!
It had no effect on Driver!
COW was defeated!

Lupo earned 25 XP. (Excellent Pwnage points)
Lupo earned Free Bus Pass!
Driver earned Commendation!

(Props to HauntedheadNC for the idea)

In case I haven't made my point yet, Lupo you are made of win and awesomeness.

[smileyeagle1021]

Talon, for some reason I just pictured Lupo dressed up as Yuna, the driver dressed up as Tidus, and COW as Seymour

No, I don't believe I have plaid Final Fantasy 10 one too many times... why would you ever ask that

[lupo pazzesco]

Sparky: I have loads of empathy for the good bus drivers out there. With the crap they have to put up with, I'm truly amazed sometimes, really.

Talon: That gave me my first laugh of the morning, which I needed, as I have to go to work and am up at an ungodly hour (for me anyways...) and running on very little sleep! Thanks!

[technical.angel]

Lupo, you totally rock!!

I'd pay money to see that!

Actually, I'd be right there giving her a piece of my mind along with you.

Oooh, oooh! A tag team match! Awesome!!!

[MergedLoki]

I gotta go with popular opinion on this one. I don't think there was any suck on your part. I mean you wouldn't have gotten applause if others thought YOU were being rude or what you said was uncalled for etc.

At first I thought the SC might have a point in that the driver didn't stop. But you said there's signs AT the bus stops basically saying 'signal if you want a bus to stop'.

around here there is no sign @ the stops so the drivers stop at ANY stop there's someone waiting at (if it's a stop on their route of course).

That being said, signs or no, if its' the bus im waiting for i'll get up if im sitting or step closer to the curb so the bus driver knows 'yes this guys waiting to get on my bus'.

anyways congrats on putting that idiot in her place.

I will say two minor negatives here.

1. She may have had an invisible disability that precluded her from walking that distance. I do. So please can it with 'that's the definition of laziness' comments. Pwease? For me? <bambi-eyes>

2. Lupo reports that she threatened bodily harm. Unfortunately, that gives the undeniably sucky woman an opening to get Lupo hit with an assault charge.

Lupo: next time, do exactly the same, but without the threat of bodily harm. I'd hate for you to get in trouble for telling a sucky person what they need to hear!

[McGoddess09]

I have a girl crush on Lupo now.

Invisible disability, I'll grant you, and honestly, while I generally don't come down that hard on people unless I've got definitive proof otherwise, this one time, I think I snapped in regards to the overall suckiness of the situation. So, I do apologize.

Bambi.

in regards to the bodily harm, the woman was reaching for me, though I guess I left that out of the original telling, which is where the warning came from int he furst place. I see it more as warning her if she laid her hands on me, I'd retaliate in self-defense. Probably not the best way to word it, but she was physically reaching for me, her hand was about a foot away from my shoulder/neck area.

good points, both of them, however I think the warning could theoretically stand, as I stated she would only be harmed if she touched me, which in turn would be her committing assault first, wouldn't it? Wonder if I should go back and edit the OP...?

Way to go!
