Awful bus ride

I ran to the bus stop to catch an approaching shuttle, but the bus just rolled on past it. I had to run after it and wave the driver down. WTH? He opens the door, I board and he's on the cell phone. I keep quiet for 13 blocks, savoring the warmth until we get close to Chinatown. I tell him to let me off at the metro. We get to the metro and he keeps rolling. I'm like, "hello?!?!" I pointed to the metro, and the bus stop we just passed and said stop, stop! He stops a block past it. Still on his cell phone. Ugh! I'm so reporting him tomorrow.

Apparently he missed the memo that cell phone + driving + dc= illegal.

Wish they'd enforce that more.

Good for you for reporting it! That's absurd.

He most definitely missed the memo, because I don't think he understood a word of English.

I will. If DH had been there, he probably would've shut his cell phone and told him to drive! haha! I don't have the nerve though.

I can't wait until they build the trolley!

He probably also missed the memo about getting caught on the phone and being automatically fired.

Agree it's unnecessary, but I'm glad that you're reporting him. If he got in an accident with a huge bus many could get hurt.

PP here. (I meant he could get in an accident because of being on the cell phone.)

I don't understand why saying someone does not understand English is offensive.

It sounds like a fact to me. Sounds a hell of a lot ruder to look so down on someone who doesn't speak English that you see it as an insult.

Assuming that someone doesn't speak a word of english because you didn't hear them speak any english is the insanely offensive part.

I HIGHLY doubt that this person doesn't speak a word of English - it is racist and offensive to insinuate otherwise.
