The Uh-Oh Bus Story

This story actually happened a few weeks ago but I wanted to tell it because it is funny. First off, I should tell you that we have quite an array of bus drivers here. Some dont talk at all, some are super nice, some tell you every single stop(even though its an automated thing), and then there are the older, Black women who have been driving the bus for years.

I was riding to work one morning when a guy (who was a little wierd & may have had something wrong with him & may have been homeless) got on the bus. I heard him up front saying 'Uh-Oh' a few times but didn't pay attention to him. Suddenly, our driver who was one of those older Black Women, stopped the bus. She stood up and yelled at him "That's it, GET OFF MY BUS"

The guy kept saying 'Uh Oh, Uh Oh' and she kept telling him to get off. Then she said she was going to get the cops and so that made him 'uh-oh' even more.

Finally, she was like 'That's right, Uh-Oh!, GET OFF MY BUS NOW" and finally - after 10 more uh-ohs, he got off. I still dont know if he was bothering someone, or bothering her but something had to occur for her to erupt like that. It was pretty funny though.
