Bus Queuing Etiquette


Is it just me or are the people who are lining up along the foot path for the bus actually doing the right thing. Why do people who see people waiting in line congregate around the top of the line to get onto the bus first? Do these people carry VIP passes? I would imagine not otherwise they wouldn’t be catching the bus. Several times I have pulled people back by saying “excuse me but I think the end of the line is that way”. Not sure why they look at me with a dishpan face and reply “Oh”. After speaking with my colleagues about this they couldn’t believe the difference in bus etiquette between the Northside and Inner City/West. Northside this is some sort of line formula with decorum where Inner City has the European method. Gather in a huddle and where the bus stops determine who gets on first. What are your experiences and is it just me but why cant people line up and just be patient?

  8. OK, we've given this blog a chance.
    Six hours and no one here but me and some c*nt called David.
    It was a good try, Frogger...but it's time to roll it up, put it away and get back to packing fudge down at your old man's fudge factory...

  9. And BTW, that photo looks suspiciously like your family re-union in Beirut rather than the Mosman rush hour...

  11. You must learn to ask Google the right questions, Grasshopper.
    Think of it as a delicate instrument on which to play; the keys must be caressed as a harpist might pluck his strings...not like you jerking off under the desk at work...

  13. Hey saw you at fingers blog and he said to be nice to you.

    Waiting in line...have you ever been in LA traffic? It's the shits.

    I don't like lines. Especially when it's a line waiting to get into a club. We usually by-pass the line and go right in. There's a trick to it.

    I haven't been on a bus since I was in high school.

    Ciao.

    See fingers, I was nice. :D

  16. So Spiky what’s your trick to getting straight in?
    Would imagine having more assets than liabilities would always help!

    Yes virgin blogger. Well you never want to be the first or the last but you have to start somewhere.

    I never knew Fingers knew how to do it until I red his blog ;)

  17. Hi sweetie...okay it's like this. When we go clubing, we just show up and walk slowly to the front nonchalantly...it's importance to show indifference. Then those in line start to notice you and your group are someone. It's important to look like celebs...I've been asked for my autograph several times. My friend and her b/f too and he is gorgeous. He's from the mid-west and thought it was wonderful. Nothing like this ever happens in Kansas Dorthy. So the security guys at the door walk to us and lead us in...and once they even bought all of our drinks. Woo.

    But I don't think this would work on a bus.

    Fingers, hehehe. He is the MAN honey. A wonderful man. I can't say enough wonderful things about him to do him justice...but don't tell him that.

    I love him hard.

    Have a wonderful day sweetie.

  18. The old celeb trick. One of my favourites. Well where I live (Manly, Sydney) and go clubing/bars wearing anything more than a pair of thongs and jeans or shorts if over dressing.

    Have a good weekend.

  19. When the next post mister...come on lets get cracking.

    Blogging is a big responsibility.

    Come on tell me a story about you, like something that you consider funny in your childhood...

    I'll go get a cube of butter and a pizza slice at Fingers' and grab a Diet Dr. Pepper. I'll be right back, Okay?.

    Ciao.
