Did I tell you about the "runaway bus driver"?

[Haley Whippet]

If I did, you can smack me
Here goes..

I was waiting for a bus to Epcot at ASM on Saturday while at Mousefest. The bus arrives but he can't seem to get it parked right to load a ECV. After 4 tries he gets just close enough for the ramp to reach the curb.(He has had the ramp down each time to see if he could reach & doesn't seem to get the fact that he must put it back before moving the bus again)
I foolishly get on that bus because I was running late.. Takes him a while to figure out hot to strap down the ECV (well, he only straps down the front)The people on the bus (about 10) tell me they have been on board a hour & the driver seems very lost. They got on at Blizzard Beach heading to French Quarter, They never made it.
Now I am getting worried.. Where will we end up? Passengers are freaking out asking the driver to please let them out.. He keeps driving, He's on the radio, He looks very confused..
We end up at Epcot & now we are circling the parking lot... He passes every stop & keeps going & going..
Around we go again...
We now see many drivers running out & flagging him down to stop...
At last we stop, I get out, He is removed from the bus. I hope the other passengers get to French Quarter..
Poor guy was mumbling "I am in big trouble" I think it was his first day as he kept looking through a note pad..
Wonder if he still has a job?

I do not recall hearing you tell that story and my throbbing nose is from wheat reaction and not because it is growing. My hips grow when I lie.

I would not ride with that guy in a car let alone a bus. All you do is pull up to the curb and park within a certain distance then lower the ramp, board the wheelchair guest. How hard is that? My father said that I had brakes, clutch, steering wheel, reverse gear, and mirrors so I better learn how to use them or lose the car.

This sounds like a version of life after death. You were a sinner so now you will spend eternity riding around WDW on a bus that never gets you anywhere. That or a new comedy where a couple spends their vacation on the WDW buses, lol. Great story though I would not stay on a bus for an hour. I hope the dude finds a job soon.
