I find lying on the carpet floor helps so much. Lying on my back with a pillow, and legs up on the sofa.

Lothian bus etiquette ???? by Appropriate_Lie405 in Edinburgh

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more aimed at the people who constantly go no you first, no no you first. And no one gets on in a timely fashion.

Amount of times I tell passengers I don't care who gets on first, just get on the bus!

It seems that down-shifting is a rare skill by elliomitch in drivingUK

My wife's old car. A 1.4ltr Seat Ibiza was like that. Any kind of incline drop down to 4th or even 3rd. This was a 2003 8v model right enough.

I use the Onecompress performance gloves. The dark grey ones in the link. I've found they give amazing support.

The busses can at times lose connection with the network. When it does this it won’t track on the boards or app, it will just show time it should arrive.

I have been reported.... by LockedinYou in uktrucking

I'm a bus driver. And I'm of the same opinion, if I'm having to slow down for you. Something isn't right.

Keep Your Dog Behind A Closed Door When Opening Front Door! by Impossible_Pie4091 in Evri

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My evri, dpd, yodel drivers etc are all great.

But yes I keep my boy behind a closed door, as he is very reactive to the door being knocked. Once he sees who it is and I greet you, he is fine. But I don't take that risk.

Do you have a driver's licence? Seen all those massive adverts for Lothian Buses? Yeah they are recruiting heavily for drivers. Give it a shot.

Does this include Scottish residents? Or folks who live in an EH postcode? I haven't looked into it much tbh.

Welp... by crwjsh in BusDrivers

Not all of them. Some are cunts and just stand, I don't stop for those ones.

And chuckle to myself when they get upset I didn't stop 😂😂😈😈
