Blurry img because I was trying to be incognito about taking it.

This girl in my English class this morning was asleep. And snoring. Loudly.
If I were a prof I would have stopped and said something; I mean really? Texting is one thing, but falling asleep and snoring?
Eesh.

Had another terrible encounter on the transit bus this morning on the way to the dentist's office which re-affirmed that bus drivers must really hate their lives if they have to pick on people:

I was in a rush and counted what I thought was exact change... so I pop my fare in and the bus driver calls me back and points it out that apparently I was .35 cents short (fare here is $2.35)... even though I don't think he could have known because there was a ton of change in there already?

Well it was the last of my change. Literally. I asked nicely if he could just let me on because I had a dentist appt to get to. He repeats that I am .35 cents short.

Repeat that convo 4-5 times... he finally just gives up and lets me on.

I go to sit down and he calls me back and refuses to move the bus
(now other passengers are giving me cut-eye...)
until I fill out a "Transit Delinquency Form" which is apparently where you put your name, address and phone number so Transit can call you to collect the fare you're missing?

Honestly, isn't the envelope and postage worth more than the supposed .35 cents?

I clearly didn't put my real name/address on it (eff that noise) because... you know what? I'm a good person, I'm a student, and I made a mistake and this dude decided to take his frustrations on the world out on me in front of a busload of people.

Honestly sometimes I think the majority of bus drivers are only in it so they can get their jollies by hassling people who seriously just need to get where they're going.

Geez.
