If you ever thought to yourself, "I wonder what the most awkward bus ride ever was...", I'm about to answer your question. Because I know. How do I know?
Because it was the bus ride that I experienced yesterday.
{yes, i actually made this. i wouldn't worry about it.}
We were about to get on the bus when Josh told me that I should pay because it would be easier since he was holding Tatum. Okay, no big. I've totally got this! Right? WRONG. (Oh. So. Wrong.)
We climb aboard.
I put the $5 in the money slot, but it's being difficult and won't take it. So, I mean, I obviously start getting flustered. I'm holding up the line!
Finally, it goes in.
The bus driver is holding up two tickets. I go to grab them, but then do that awkward back away thing, because I realize he's holding them pretty close to himself...He must be waiting for the money to process or something.
But then, he doesn't do anything. So I go to grab them again, but I back away again. (WHY, LYDIA? Why did you back away a second time?!)
Then. He gives me a look as if to say, "Just take the dang tickets!"
I take them.
I take my seat.
I start to tell Josh the story. Then, I hear, "Ma'am? MA'AM."
The bus driver is calling me out. "Ma'am, come up here."
"Yes?"
"Just stand right here." He sounded oddly stern...
"Oookaaayyy..." I sounded sort of rude.
A minute passes.
"I just wanted to get you your change, but I can't handle cash, so I had to wait for a passenger with it."
Aww. So nice!
After I get my change, I go back to my seat.
I finish telling Josh the story.
And then, I tell him that I thought I was in trouble with the bus driver. Like, he was going to make me stand at the front of the bus for the whole ride or something, for not being a more efficient bus rider.
What the heck do I think this is, elementary school?
Oh, Lyds. Sigh.
**You're so welcome for this super unnecessarily lengthy and pointless story.**
