Sorry Bus driver is Sorry


Sorry Bus driver is Sorry

This was one of the hilarious images attached to the "Laptop Steering Wheel Desk" product page on Amazon. The concept of a laptop desk for your steering wheel (it took me a while to parse what the product was actually about!) is hilariously mockable, but the customers at Amazon have done a fine job of that already.

I want to talk about Sorry Buses.

In Vancouver the buses flash "Sorry" and then "Not In Service" a fraction of a second later when they are not picking passengers up. I call them "Sorry Buses". Since I have good long-distance vision, I can spot them a long way away, much like larch trees.

So sometimes my wife will ask if our bus is coming and I can reply: "No, it's a Sorry Bus."

But not as sorry as this bus driver probably was!
