MetroMogul Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Probably the only offense you had was probably being a jerk in making a comment loud enough for the driver to hear. Sorry, but that's just rude.If I'm on the phone and speaking at an appropriate volume why does it matter if he overhears me or not? The conversation is none of his concern until approached by a supervisor. I'm not going to whisper as not to hurt his feelings. I'm sure if I was calling in to compliment him every week this would not have occurred. Perhaps he was being a jerk for being 20 minutes late every trip. Because surprise, when they changed drivers, that trip ran on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is humiliating to the driver, and I think that call should have waited until you got off the bus. Is it REALLY that hard to have a LITTLE compassion or politeness? Some things are supposed to be done discretely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
