It took only a cup of coffee latte to decommission a bus. An old lady spilled it. There was nothing to mop it. The driver called command central, a spill…a spill…and herded the rest of us off the bus like a flock of sheep.
Sometimes I wonder why a bus doesn’t come and when it does, is so crowded. Now I know things like the spill and other mishaps may be the cause. Putting aside the blame, which in this case was clearly the passenger’s, I wonder why buses aren’t equipped with a little housekeeping compartment. A towel would have taken care of the matter. A dustpan for debris? And insist the guilty ones clean up after themselves. Yes it may still throw the timing off, but offenders won’t get to walk away from their mess like spoiled children.
