Crazy Bus People

Why do all normal people drive cars, and all crazy people ride buses?

Strange thing on the bus this morning:

This older guy was sitting in the row just in front of this woman, and without turning around, he quietly said “Have I ever apologized to you?”

From my vantage point just ahead and across the aisle, when I turned back slightly and glanced at the woman sitting behind him, there seemed to be a tightening of her facial expression.  It made me think that he was talking to her.

A moment of silence ensued, leaving only the noisy sound of the bus and the hubbub of the other passengers.

Then he said “I don’t think I should be taking this bus any more”. When I glanced back again to see what she was doing, she was gone.

At first I thought she had maybe bent down to pick something up, but her feet were no longer visible either, so she’d obviously got up and moved.

Moved away from him.
