I always seem to run into the nutters or the SCs when I am out anywhere. Grab a snack cos this is a long one!
Diagonal Yellow Lines Mean NO PARKING!
Me and my dad went shopping on Saturday, and parked in a free car park. We came back to drop some stuff off, and saw an oldish woman parking on the diagonal yellow lines opposite us, effectively blocking us in.
Dad: Excuse me but you've blocked me in, and you can't park on diagonal yellows anyway.
OW: Oh, I know.
She LOCKED the car and walked off!
Dad: Some people are SO selfish!
So, he went to find a traffic warden, who told him that because it was technically private property and a weekend, there was nothing he could do about the woman. Luckily, when we got back, the person parked behind us had moved, so we could move out that way, but not before my dad left a note on the woman's windscreen saying "NICE PARKING, IDIOT!"
I Don't Have A Pass, But I'm Not Paying!
For those not in the UK, this is some b/g information. People aged 18 and under are entitled to a "Mii" card which allows them to ride the bus or train for 50p...on production of the pass. This is because the Mii card is not issued automatically, it must be applied for.
Child: *Gets on bus* XXXX please. *puts 50p down*
Driver: Have you got your pass with you?
Parent: NO I never got him one but I want you to let him on for 50p.
Driver: I can't do that without him producing a pass.
Parent: DISGRACEFUL! He is a child! I will only pay 50p!
Driver: I can't let him on for 50p without seeing his pass!
This went on for about 5 minutes and then the mother said:
"WHAT IF I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY MORE THAN 50p?!"
Awesome Passenger: Correct me if I'm wrong love, but aren't you paying £2 for your ticket alone...and isn't that a lot of shopping for someone who can only afford 50p?!
The mother looked very embarrassed, and grudgingly coughed up the rest of the fare.
You've Taken Me There Before!
This is another bus story. I get on a bus that stops at a limited amount of stops...and it is wonderful
A woman gets on at the bus station, and the following ensues:
Woman: Do you go to X street?
Driver: No, this is the XXX not the XXX bus. I bypass it completely, but the XXX bus will be here in about 15 minutes.
Woman: You have taken me there before!
Driver: I may have on a different bus, but I can assure you this bus does not go to X street.
Woman: Yes you have! Are you thick or what?
Driver: I think I know my own routes, madam. Kindly vacate now please so I can take these passengers to where they need to be.
Woman: Disgraceful service!
Let's Go And Complain...Wait Is That The Bus?
This one is donated by my fiance. The bus he catches to my house every Friday leaves his local bus station at 3:15, and the bus is often 5 minutes or so late around that time due to school traffic. 5 minutes isn't a problem, right? Wrong...
Old Women: The bus is late! It's not good enough! Look there's a man there we'll go and ask!
My fiance could hear them shouting at this poor customer services employee behind a desk, saying how disgusting the whole thing was. While they were doing that, the bus turned up, everyone got on, and it departed, without the old women! 
My fiance says the look on their faces was priceless!
From Bad To Worse...
The bus I was on about a month ago was being driven by a driver who was having his annual supervision. The driver in question was in his early twenties, and very nervous. Trust all the nasty passengers to get on his bus that day
people who couldn't grasp that the bus was a limited stop one, people who were generally rude...you get the picture. That was bad enough for him, but when he got into the interchange where my fiance lives, he accidentally bumped the bus against another. It was only a tiny bump and you only felt it if you were sat at the back. Well, he was upset enough about that, and became even more so when this screaming hag started yelling that she had whiplash and she was going to sue him! I felt so sorry for the driver.
I've got loads more stories, but I don't have the energy to post any more for now.
