To find it satisfying when busses get stuck in the bus lane?

I just find it really satisfying when you whiz past a bus which has become stuck in the bus lane and all the selfish bus goers (which are used to getting priority) sit there gawping out of the window bemused at all the cars flying past! Karma!

He must have been on something. Grin Sadly I bet that story is true.

I bow to your greater knowledge, Saggy. I'm quite keen on etymology, too, actually.

And re your brand names, in Australia, a felt tipped colouring pen is called a Texta. I dont even know if it's still an actual brand. Also, sticky tape is called Durex, which is a Different Thing in the U.K.!

I love sailing down the bus/bike lane passing all the stationary cars. I'm almost tempted to ring my bell as I go by as everyone knows how irritating a bike bell is!

SaggyNaggy"Busses was once the one people used, as enfglosh evolved though it got replaced by buses."

"enfglosh" has amused me, but it doesn't take much. Grin

I'll tell you what I find satisfying though: being the only car driver daring to use a bus lane, when it is allowed!
Am baffled by the number of people that stay out of bus lanes when they are allowed to use them at certain times.

There's always a crawling bottleneck on my route to work, where people try to merge into the non-bus lane even at times where they are allowed to use the bus lane. I properly grin as I sail down it then.

Yep, I 'm a car driver and astounded at the amount of cars that don't use the bus lane if they should be doing.

Not that it applies to passed drivers, bit for anyone sitting a test etc, if you don't use the bus lane when you're supposed to, you will fail your test.
