Hmmm that last paragraph made me think of that song that goes: "My baby takes the mornin' train/He works from 9 to 5 and then/He takes another home again/To find me waiting for him." I used to love that song after I heard it on a rerun of American Bandstand when I was 9 or 10, until I figured out what the words were implying... I mean, you take the morning train with your "baby." Nevermind.

I used to have favorites on the bus, too! There was a teacher (I think) who was very cute and one time I fell into him when the bus lurched forward, and it could have been something out of a romantic comedy if it hadn't been 8:30 in the morning on a crowded bus in the real world.

When I lived in FL, every time I rode the bus, I sat behind a man with a sneezing problem. He would say "Cuse me," after each one. It was so annoying that I never once said "Bless you." He also called Krispy Kreme donuts "Christmas Tree donuts," which made me hate him even more.
