On The Bus... #6 or The Bastard Man

The scenario was just another bus trip back home. A man walks to the door and presses the bell for the stop which I am getting off as well.

Bus pulls into bus stop, and lets us off the bus. Man gets off first, but refuses to step up to the pavement, because he wants to cross the road.

It just so happened that another bus pulled up behind the bus which we (me and the man) just got off. It was a bus which I wanted to transfer to.

Man stands in the bus-stop bay, and I'm standing on the pavement. It looked like the man wanted to board the bus, from the way he walked to the back of the bus we just dropped off, towards the other bus that just pulled in.

The bus behind pulls in only metres away from the man standing down there in the bus-stop bay. The man is motionless, waiting for the bus to stop before he attempts to squeeze past the buses to cross the road.

Bus driver thinks he wants to board the bus, but realises after a few seconds that he's been fooled when he sees the man motionless.

I walk up to the entrance of the bus, and the driver looks at me, but refuses to open the door, thinking that I am another joker. I raise my hand and wave at him, and he opens the door reluctantly.

Remind me to shoot the man next time I see him again.
