    I think other Scottish users may be embarrassed by the fact you are one of them.

    Anyway have the school holidays started in Scotland yet, it seems a bit early but they do often have different holidays to England and Wales.

    you replied to most peoples posts but not mine, guessing I was right that you called the driver a thief.


    I hope they ban you from all their buses.

    Hi. Sorry I left my laptop at my mum and dads. I am using my mobile phone just now. I will check back and reply to you. The way the forum shows is a bit different on my telephone.
  • So I am seeing this from you.....

    "What did you expect after that Rant. You want £15 because you shouted at a bus driver, no doubt calling him a thief. Rather than just asking for your change and even when offered it you declined.
    Unbelievable!"

    What I would say to that is pipe down and do one. I have nothing else to say to you really. Good morning.

    Hello.

    I was wondering if I could run something past you. I have seen questions here before and the advice is sound.

    I caught a bus today to my mum and dads. You know when someone looks at you a few seconds longer than is normal you notice it? Well that is what happened as I was waiting to get on. The driver was doing that. I asked the fare - it was £2.15 and gave him £3. He printed the ticket and no change was given to me so I sat down.

    At another stop, someone got on and he gave her change. When this women got off, he looked in his mirror at me and said she had paid £1.70 to go 2 stops. I says to him, how come she gets change and I dont.

    He said he was going to give me change but I walked away. Now this is not true. I said I am litterally sitting beside you, what are you on about.

    So at the traffic lights I stand up and he puts 5p in his tray and said that is my change 'cause I have him £2.20. I told him it was £3 and to keep it.

    To cut a short bus journey and a story shorter, he then tried to give me 85p and I told him to keep it as he had the chance to give me the change earlier. That I would be calling his head offices.

    So when I did, she took the details and said he would be interviewd. I told her I want £15 as this is the price I put on having an argument on a public bus. He caused this. He is a thief and if he wants to steal, then steal off the employer not the passenger.

    She told me there is no way I will be getting any money off them. She seems to know this before they have investigated.

    My question after all that is can I take them to court? I want £15. It's not about the £15, it's about being messed with. Nobody messes with me.

    Thanks a lot for any advice.



    You aren't entitled to £15.


    You should've asked for your change.


    YOU caused this.

    You are quite the character. Hopefully, as most buses have numerous CCTV cameras, they report you to the police and ban you from all their services.


    You caused this. The driver probably looked at you for longer than usual because of the aura you give off
  • I shouldnt need to ask for change, this should be automatic from him. HELLO? Am i speaking french or something?

    Well you're definitely not making any sense regardless of what language you're speaking. Any sensible person would've just stood there and politely ask for change if none was forthcoming, not sit down then jump into a full blown argument later on in the journey.
