Is it normal that for a moment i wanted to kill the bus driver

I drive a bus on Saturdays (weekend job) and you are the type of passenger I absolutely hate!
I love the driving aspect of my bus driver job, but hate the people part of it... Sometimes there are passengers I want to forcefully throw off the bus...

You do realize traffic jams exist, right? Stuff out of you, or anyone else's control. Buses go on a set route. If there is a crash, or a delay on that specific route, the bus still has to wait and finish it's route. Sometimes other buses come to aid, but that only happens in very dire situations on the most critical city routes.

Stuff like this happens, it's a part of city life.
This summer, driving home to my parents, I spent 6 hours at a border crossing. Who's gonna give me back my wasted time? Nobody, I can only accept some things in life suck and move on.

Also nobody is gonna comp your ticket. If your bus driver gave you a free transfer, someone has to pay for that. Once the ticket is printed, somebody has to pay for it, cause it's in the system.
Bus lines are not airlines! They do not give you refunds on your 3-5 buck ticket.

Is the bus driver supposed to pay for your transfer ticket out of their own money?!

For some ungodly reason, whenever a bus is late, passengers immediately start hurling abuse at the driver. It's not my fault there was a delay because of a crash in a tunnel caused by (95% probability) a woman in her late 30s, staring at her phone, driving a Peugeot, cutting off a truck, getting startled, losing control, smashing into 2 cars and into the wall. But nah, it's the idiot bus driver's fault! He is late, cause he is a lazy scumbag! He should comp all of our tickets from his own pocket! That will learn 'em!

Fuck that! Pay for your own damn ticket and try to be more understanding and treat people the way you want to be treated.

Seriously, we've all had bad days, but that's no reason to take out your anger on others for no reason. You think bus drivers enjoy annoyed passengers and (often) unpaid extra hours? No, we want to finish our routes as quickly and efficiently as possible and go home.

ever see them stories in the news like 'man shoots burger flipper over extra onions'?

theres usually more to the story and theres usually people under a great deala stress from other sources in life but the media plays it up to seem arbitrary and outrageous

unless its florida the melitin pota lunatics

I think most people have times when life seems like it's just a shit-storm of one fucking annoying thing after another, it all gets to be too much and we're filled with sudden, all-consuming rage.

The most important thing is that you had those feelings but you didn't act on them.

I'm not clear on the rules of bus transfers, but if the driver was being a dick and exercising her petty power to the maximum extent possible in an attempt to make your life almost as miserable as hers, then you lashing out would have just made her sad little day. So I think you should see how you exercised your self-restraint in the face of provocation as a win for you.

It's ok to vent n all, but......

Complaining about a bus driver doing her job is childish. She can't give you an extra transfer because you gotta eventually pay for a bus ride. Sometimes days are frackin frustrating, I know! Hell, three days ago I felt like I was getting used and tossed up. However instead of wanting revenge, I simply mumbled "Today is just not my day"; That's it! I always say "Who needs to find the light when the darkness can embrace you". Basically it means embrace your bad days; maybe the next one will be a surprise
