Considerate Bus Driver
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...A woman carrying a baby got on a bus and after paying the fare, took a seat behind the bus driver. Later on, a drunken man got on the same bus and after paying his fare, took a seat beside the woman carrying a baby.
Since they were the only passengers on the bus, the drunk tried to strike up a conversation with the woman who tried her best to ignore him. Then the drunk took one look at the baby the woman was carrying and commented tactlessly, “Man, that is the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen.” This upset the woman so much that she screamed at the drunk, “Get away from us, you filthy drunk!” Then she started crying loudly.
Alerted by the commotion behind him, the bus driver pulled the bus over to the side of the road. Seeing the woman in tears, the bus driver grabbed the drunk by the collar and tossed him out of the bus. After closing the door, the bus driver consoled the woman, “Cheer up, lady. I don’t know what that drunk had said to make you upset but I won’t tolerate passengers getting harassed on my bus especially by drunks.” He then took out his handkerchief and offered it to the woman. “Here’s my hanky to wipe away your tears.” The woman took the handerchief to wipe away her tears saying “Thank you.”
“Feeling better now?” asked the bus driver solicitously.
The woman nodded. Then the bus driver reached under his seat to get his lunch box. He said to the woman, “Here’s a banana for that cute little monkey you got there.”
