Crazy guy on bus
I forgot to blog about the crazy guy on the bus the other day TY was here. We were on our way to watch Billy Elliot and we were pushing for time really. Well we missed our first bus and then had to go to the other bus stop to wait for another one. And on the way, this crazy guy came out from another stopped bus at this bus stop, and popped onto ours. He was real dodgy. In fact, he was swearing, kept talking gibberish about his family, how his dad died at a certain area. Plus he was foaming at the mouth and has cerebral palsy. The bus driver I must say acted very calm and professional, and tried to coax him off the bus. He kept hesitating and kept coming off and on the bus... Two young girls were actually finding it quite hysterical and took a video of him on their phone... they might put it on YouTube. But he was going on for at least 20 minutes to half an hour and he was starting to get real edgy, so some people called the cops. The cops came and finally got him to sit on the ground where according to TY, he started crying. Anyway, we still couldn't leave because our bus driver had to make a statement, as well as a few other people around the neighbourhood (yeah, the neighbours came out to see what the commotion was all about). We were there for quite a while at this particular bus stop that another bus had arrived and we wanted to get on it, but by the time we came off the bus and wanted it, it just left. That was frustrating. So we went back to our old bus and continued waiting till our bus driver was allowed to leave. Fortunately we weren't late for our play, and were quite good for time and still managed our initial dinner plan at Pepper Lunch. I think if people didn't call the police, we'd probably be stuck there for hours. It was scary though and if the crazy guy got quite aggressive, it wouldn't go down too well either. So we're glad it turned out alright in the end and we're ok.
