I'm a bus driver (trust me it's relevant) and the other week a passenger (lady in her early 60's) boarded the bus and started balling (as usual, she's a regular)about how I was 5 minutes late and it was cold etc etc etc. Silly wench tried to get away with not paying the proper fare. Point one for me. When she gets comes to get off the bus she started again (I'll point out here that this a bus service that runs every 7 minutes at peak times) about poor timekeeping and reliability etc etc etc. While she's muttering summats under her breath about how I have sex by myself she turns and steps off the bus. Landing on the biggest dog turd I've ever seen. I'm not an aggressive person by nature but when i got round the corner I had to stop the bus and just laugh for a few seconds.
Not quite as trivial as some other posts but it did raise a giggle in the canteen after Friday rush hour. Cheered me up no end anyway.The only disability in life is a poor attitude.0 -

I also quite like a nice clean shave with no cuts. Nothing better than looking in the mirror and having something resembling a baby's bum shine back.The only disability in life is a poor attitude.0
