    People ask me all the time if taking the bus is stressful but like. bruh I’m zoned out scrolling social media the entire time at the bus stop and on the bus. Or I’m just straight up zoned out. I don’t have to pay attention even to my own driving let alone the rest of these people. And also once in a blue moon the bus driver does something utterly wild like execute a perfect K-turn on a crowded city street in the ice without touching a single car to route around a detour (my mind was blown).

      Bus drivers are magicians, I always think “where is he even going to go there’s not even close to enough space” and they just magic the bus smaller to fit while I’m panicking the whole time thinking we’re about to crash.

        The world would be a better place if people spent more time recognizing and admiring skilled labor. Like even people who mostly just move and make things. The level of dexterity alone is just 👨‍🍳🤌💋

        Literally the only people in vietnam who use their indicators and take care to avoid bikes. I’m more comfortable lane-splitting between 2 buses than being within 100 feet of a construction vehicle.
