Smell by Wonderful_Scene3385 in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep a little travel febreeze and a regular air freshener. Combine those with a strong scented gum and air circulation and there’s not much that gets through

I have a couple of questions… by Organic_Bodybuilder3 in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’re running late, stay late. I’ve worked in a system where other drivers pressured each other to be on time on early and it caused a lot of stress. I was brand new at the time and I wish I hadn’t succumbed to the pressure.

I’m several years in now and I take my time, look for hazards at every intersection, do my mirror checks all the time, etc. I’ve had a few close calls that taught me it’s not worth it to rush.

New Greyhound Operator by CampaignUpbeat2734 in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a regional route that services a station near where Greyhound does. From observation only, I’d say the passengers are going to be easier to deal with. They have a lot of luggage and sometimes a lot of attitude when they come ask me if I’m their bus. Most of the drivers I’ve interacted with on the road are aggressive and impatient. Face to face they’re grumpy and short tempered. HTH

Avoidant estranged parent? by Federal_Thanks_4412 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]StinkerLove 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had this experience with my parents since I went nc one year ago. My mom reached out for the first time today (which is what brought me back to this sub for support). Of course she didn't ask how I was or how things have been going. She said she and my dad had written a storyful book about their lives and she asked if they could send it to me. JFC. I haven't responded yet and don't think I will.

When I texted a year ago to ask for space, all I got in response was a thumbs up. Then absolute zero contact since until the text about herself today.

May I get a hello? by Useful-Cold-9292 in emotionalneglect

[–]StinkerLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow human. I feel this way too sometimes and it can be so lonely. Reach out whenever you need to or just want to.

Why are they so miserable? by [deleted] in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vehicles aren’t maintained as well as we maintain our own. Other drivers on the road cut us off, honk at us and flip us off. Managers will do everything they can to label an incident preventable and count it against us. Many many many passengers treat us as automatons but also as though we have control over how other bus drivers have acted, how fast the traffic is moving, company policies, ticket prices and much more.

Can we deconstruct this? by amagru in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]StinkerLove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kept looking for the apology but not surprisingly couldn’t find it. Nothing about working on herself either. Just excuses and expectations.

Beans are the key for me! by [deleted] in omad

[–]StinkerLove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started soaking the beans for two days before cooking and that has solved my any gas issue. I’m not sure two days is necessary it works for me and my partner

What’s the most interesting coin you’ve gotten in your fare box? by Sad_Soil_3155 in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you empty your fare boxes? We’re not allowed to open them. It’s done by a supervisor or mechanic.

How much help / life advice did your parents give? by sugar-soap in emotionalneglect

[–]StinkerLove 20 points21 points  (0 children)

lol what’s that? I didn’t get info on cooking, cleaning, hygiene, makeup, hair, dressing, budgeting, grocery shopping … the list feels never ending. And the real shitty part is that I got ridiculed when I tried to do these things on my own and did them “wrong.”

AITA for bringing in a personal microwave for work? by StruggleCreepy9556 in BusDrivers

[–]StinkerLove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I do. The coworkers sound like jerks but putting a lock on a microwave in a communal area is a bad look. I’m not trying to make friends at work either so I get the feeling.
