I was waiting for the bus at the station with my double buggy. I thought the driver saw me waiting so felt safe to board through the back as usual as the buggy doesn't fit through the front.
The door closed on the buggy, but then opened again and I got on.
The bus driver started to shout at at me that I must wait for him to tell me I could get on the back and that it was dangerous for the children.
In fact, I completely agreed with this and realised that although I thought he saw me, I hadn't waited for him to indicate that I should get on the back. So I apologised.
He then continued to glare at me belligerently for some time, so I asked if he wanted me to get off the bus. Whereupon he continued with the shouting.
I then asked him for his name and said I would be complaining about him. I was quite upset by this time. He refused to give me his name.
Since he was apparently not going to move the bus if I was on it, we got off. I tried to take a photo of the license plate but my phone failed me.
We then had a bit of a shouting match with me in the bus shelter and him on the bus. Very childish I know. (I've had a bad day overall and this is the second thread I've posted about my day)
I'm really not sure what he wanted me to do after I had apologised. Get on my knees and grovel??
AIBU to complain about him? Or do you think I was more to blame?
Surely once I'd apologised, he should have just moved on?

AIBU?
To think the bus driver was at fault? (Although I was at fault to begin with)
