I literally right side walked around a left stander on the metro escalator just now. We were both dressed for the office.

And yesterday someone asked the bus driver to open the door instead of pressing the stop request button exactly an inch from her hand.

Common sense does not seem to transplant easily. [/quote]

My hometown didn't really have a bus system, so I'd never ridden a bus of any kind, even a school bus. The first time I tried to take the the circulator bus in college, I circled the campus twice before I finally got off at some random stop and walked. I didn't think to ask anyone why it didn't stop at my stop, just figured I'd read the map wrong or something.

I was venting to a friend about the stupid bus that didn't stop where it was supposed to, and she said, "You pulled the cord to signal for the stop, and they still didn't stop?" I'm sure the look on my face was priceless.[/quote]
