Bus driver watched me sprint for the bus and closed the doors in my face, even though it only meant stopping at a red light a few yards later

I used to typically finish work at 10pm (retail) when I was in my teens and had this happen several times.

Also had a driver refuse to let me off at my stop (which was at the top of my road) because it was ‘closed’ (it was not!) and said I could get off at the next stop instead - which was a 25 minute walk through woodland and unlit rural roads back home. Also had a male manager refuse to let me leave on time after a midnight finish and I had to walk over an hour home from one rural village to the next. Also had a bus driver call the police and threaten to have me arrested because I paid the full fare for two teen girls whose student passes he wouldn’t accept. They either don’t care or don’t understand how dangerous it is to be a teen girl who has no choice but to rely on public transport.

When your dream home is now a regular sized 2/3 bed with a garden for the dog There’s a new guy in the office - it’s his second day and we’ve just found out we have identical commutes Shops charging customers to collect items from their premises Collecting a parcel delivered to the neighbour only for them to say "I never took for that" then threatening to punch you Trying to transfer money on a bank phone line, and being asked to input the figure in pence. Finally trying Tony's Chocolate despite the £3 price tag to find it's utterly disappointing Those people who decide its perfectly acceptable to make themselves a coffee and then proceed to make somebody a cup of tea using the same spoon. I've seen folk jailed for less! I'm at the point in the family BBQ where my dad is complaining about the amount of black people appearing in adverts, send help Absolutely loathing the song "Sweet Caroline" Can't sit even in my own garden without smelling weed smoke! Realising that I never got to finish my glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton in the 90s after dutifully buying the magazine every week. Having to sit through a 1.5 hour presentation about the company making record sales and profits, then being told no pay rises this year due to "the financial situation" During a casual chat with a German superior I off handedly mentioned English village life "can be a bit like Royston Vasey" and now I'm afraid she will judge me based on my taste in 90s bizarist television Having a degree, a masters, volunteered/worked consistently throughout my studies and still getting rejected by entery level (19k starting salary) jobs. This is the norm for graduates but its still gutting. BBC coverage of the Olympics is a disgrace.
