Why would you do this on a bus?

Today I had a run in with the weirdest passenger ever...
Most of you know I drive a bus on Saturday as a second job.

Guy gets on my bus and sits on the first row of seats, right side of the driver, with a constant angry look. After about 3 minutes, he comes up to me and says "Why do you do that?"
I asked him what do I do and he asks why my seat goes up and down constantly.
I explained that's how an air-ride seat works. Buses and trucks have them, so drivers get an easier ride and less stress on their back and spine. The seat bounces up and down to absorb bumps and reduce the strain on your back, so most drivers set up their seats on the softest and bounciest settings.

Then he told me "Stop it, it's annoying and I'm getting very angry"...
I told him it's how I've set up my seat and I'm not gonna change it because of him. I have a job to do. If he doesn't want to look at me, he can move to the back of the bus, or catch the next bus.

He then started shouting "Stop the bus, I want to get out! Let me out of here!" and went as far as trying to pry the doors open.
I stopped as I didn't want to make a scene, or write annoying reports and let him out and as he was getting out, he told me he'd report me to the bus company...

What an asshole... Who does that?! I've had drunks, bachelor and hen parties, crazy footballers, but nobody has shouted at me for how I set up my damn seat... Why would anybody care about that?

    Some people are entitled cunts. What an idiotic thing to throw a dangerous tantrum over.

    Some assholes don't know how to control their problems when they're out in public. It's really no excuse for his behavior though. If he can't control himself, he shouldn't be out burdening others.

    Some people are dicks.
    You know this already.
    He's the same type that jumps his car in front of you in heavy traffic.
    You leave a safe stopping space in front.
    This type of shithead jumps in.
    If an emergency did happen.
    You would squish him like a bug.
    Big vehicles take longer to stop.
    So, don't worry about him.
    Just move on.

    That seat sounds cushiony.

      Actually the seat is almost completely silent. You can only hear it if the engine is off and you are right next to the driver.
      And I'd love to see the complaint. I hope it's a written one, so I can get a copy and laugh at it.
