L'autobus

A letter to the crazy Roman bus drivers:

Dear Bus Drivers,

You know what is frustrating? Waiting for one of your buses for half an hour only to see two of you in a row. Although once on your bus, I do appreciate your need for speed (thank God Dennis Hopper is never involved) because it gets me where I need to go, unfortunately there is a downside. This is where the other passengers come in, there are usually so many people on your bus that I inevitably lose my balance and embarrassingly, without any grace whatsoever, fall into them. This quickly becomes a very uncomfortable situation. So may I politely suggest slowing down while turning, putting up some protective cushioning, and would it hurt to hang a few air fresheners?

Best Regards,
Clara

P.S. To the bus driver who stopped the bus to curse out that middle aged woman until she got off (probably to go cry herself to sleep, that is what I would do), you are mean, and I'm 73% sure that the Pope heard you.

  2. Why thank you Gwendolyn, your comment has been read and considered a compliment. Gremlin is not exactly what I was going for, but maybe it works for me?
