so i had to get the bus to the surgery yesterday cause ds was being horrendously sick. the exchange with the bus driver went something like this:
Me: £1.40 fare to xxxxx Rd please
BD: It's £1.50 now, the fares went up on the 18th
Me: Are you sure? I took this journey last week and it was still £1.40 [some of the other fares have gone up though]
BD: Oh no, you're right, it's £1.40
I gave him a £1 coin, a 20p piece and 4 5p pieces, and he said "i need another one of these" pointing at the 20p piece. and i said, "but that would make it £1.60!" and so he just repeated what he said! by this time i'm getting all prickly under my armpits and embarassed cause everyone was staring at me, and panickin about missing ds's appointment, so i counted out the 5p's for him in a really slow and loud voice, and the driver just grunted at me and shut the doors and drove off without even waiting for me to sit down! luckliy i had ds in the sling, because if i'd had him in the buggy it would have flown backwards and i'd've been squished up against the front window!
am i being unreasonable??!
