I would have become a homicidal maniac.

Today was an alright day. I woke up promptly at 9 am in the morning and after making and eating breakfast, checking my email, and various other morning things, I leave my house at 10:15 AM. Considering how I borrowed my dad’s laptop for the day to write a reference letter and it is raining out, I decided to take the bus to my Skytrain connection instead of doing my usual 20 minute walk to Commercial Skytrain Station.

Getting to my stop in a very short amount of time, I expected to see a bus there in a few minutes time. Ten minutes roll by with no bus in sight. Mind you, the bus route in question does have a bus come by once every 12 minutes at this time. Twenty minutes go by and I heard one of the old ladies at the stop say that she had been waiting at the stop for 35 minutes.

THIRTY FIVE?!?! What the hell is wrong with you? It’s a light shower on a bus route that’s predominantly on a straight line and it’s two to three buses behind schedule?

Thanks a lot Translink. Because of you, I end up walking to the Skytrain station and end up being late for my CMPT 307 class by at least 25 minutes and after that class, I am confused as hell as to what the prof was talking about.

Thanks so fucking much.
