Transportation: Asshat bus drivers, with their "rules"

Asshat bus drivers, with their "rules"

Today, as I tried to get off the bus, my bag and the hand holding it got stuck between the exit doors. I dropped the bag in panic, but the driver wouldn't let me off until we got to the next stop. I had to walk all the way back to get my bag. FML

Today, I was on a very crowded bus, standing near the back door. People had to get off at the stop, and being near the door, I had to step off the bus, allowing the people to exit. I was about to enter back into the bus, the door closed and the bus driver took off, leaving me stranded. FML

Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML

Today, I was walking towards the bus. The bus was scheduled to leave at 3:20, and it was 3:19 so I decided to run for it. As the doors were closing, I managed to just slip my hand into the door, so it didn't fully close. The bus driver saw this, looked at my face, and then drove away. FML

Today, as I was about to get onto the bus, my bus pass fell out of my hands. Being in a rush, I barely picked it up from the street not having a good grasp of it, just to have it fall again as I was about to swipe it. It felt like the whole bus was staring at me. FML

Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML

Today, I temporarily got off the bus for the other students to get off, because they push and shove along their way. Then the bus driver closed the door on me and drove off. My laptop was on that bus. FML

Today, I was on a tram and I noticed an older lady having trouble getting down the stairs. I immediately got up to help her, dropping my bag on the seat accidentally. As I went to get back on the tram, the doors closed. FML

Today, I took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML

Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML

Today, at the train station a woman's baggage had gotten stuck in the ticket barriers, so I used my ticket to unlock the barriers for her but told her to wait so I could get through too. She didn't wait. And I got painfully stuck in the barriers whilst I watched my train go by. FML

Most bus drivers do this, it's a really stupid rule. FYL, it was probably cold out.

I really can't understand this, your bag got stuck and you had to drop it but then you couldn't have gotten off? Like, were you leaving backwards? And also you should keep the bag on next time and just jolt when they have to open the door, because you're "stuck" Have fun dealing with that terrible person. Also the bag was holding your hand?

I can't believe how few people noticed that it should be "My bag and the hand holding it", not "My hand and the bag holding it".

That's awful. A couple people are actually saying this is like a thing in other places, where the driver would get in trouble for stopping. I don't want to live where you live, that's ridiculous. Our drivers would get in trouble for not stopping and making sure the person was okay and then letting them off if they were (or getting assistance if they weren't). Honestly I'd rather my bus be delayed for a couple minutes to make sure somebody was okay. Those doors can injure people, I know somebody who got their hand caught and ended up with broken fingers. Sorry OP, that sucks. I hope you're okay, though I assume since this doesn't include anything about injuries you are.
