Weirdo at the Bus Stop

And by that I mean ME. This morning, late to the bus as usual, I ran out the door with two bags and coat pockets full of stuff that could easily have been consolidated into one cute little purse, if I was the organized type. I proceeded to rifle through those bags and pockets in order to do the following while waiting for the (late) bus: brush hair, put on lipstick, put on earrings, eat breakfast, take a multi-vitamin, put on socks and, finally, consolidate bags/pockets. All while daydreaming up a story about why the dog at the neighboring house was howling when he is usually quiet. So my question, SacRaggers, is: am I the only one who functions at this level at a bus stop? What weird things do you do, or have you seen others doing, while waiting for RT?

  1. You put on socks at the bus stop?

    I can’t contribute to this discussion being one of the 81% of those who drive a single occupant vehicle (SOV) for commute purposes. To see where you fit in, peruse the document linked below. It’s the Household Travel Survey which is conducted every 10 years to help substantiate the figures in the Census, only it drills down to much more specific information:

  2. Yes, I totally threw socks in my purse on the way out the door and put them on at the bus stop. I was in such a rush! I’m beginning to think that my rushing makes the bus be late though, because when I’m late the bus is early and when I book it out there the bus takes its own sweet time. I don’t recomend putting on socks while driving though. šŸ™‚

  3. Yeah seriously, I’ve got to say I’m proud of you for taking the bus, Meg. You’re a class act.

    I used to bike to work almost every day until my work moved to West Sacramento. I still could make it but the trip would be a whole lot less fun. Let me tell you.

  4. What scares me is when you see one of the SOV people doing the same thing. Drinking Coffee – Makeup – Cell Phone – all at once. At least you are not going to run into anyone and cause a CHiP’s style pile up while you are at it at the bus stop.

  5. There’s lots of good reasons to drive to work instead of rt commute, but yeah, it’s a lot harder to put on your face and do a manicure while driving I bet! I like to use old lady phrases it appears.
