So, I'm peacefully taking the 49 Western bus back toward home this evening. When the time came, I pressed the little button for my stop. Below is what happened immediately after:
Just before the stop, the driver pulls over and picks up a fellow CTA bus driver. They begin chatting.
Bus rolls past the bus stop.
I press the button again, at the same time saying, "Foster, please"
Bus driver: "Y'all gotta press the button before I get past the stop!"
Me: "I did"
Bus driver: "No you didn't, you just pressed it."
Me: "No, I pressed it before you stopped at the light back there."
Bus driver: "No you didn't"
Me: "Yes, I certainly did, maybe you should pay more attention to your customers than your buddies"
I then got off the bus at the back (where I was yelling from), stomped off the bus, and tried to shut the automatic doors.
I feel like I won.
