This is a question Buses

We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.

Thanks to glued eel for the suggestion

School bus
There is always someone at school who got remorselessly (spelling?!?!?!) bullied, at our school it was William Treadwell. William was a fart of a man, in that he hung around longer than expected and smelt awful. He was the target of the bullying. Even I bullied him and I know that makes me a cunt and is something I have apologised to him about several years later.

Any way on with the bus related anecdote. The 839 West Midlands Travel School Service transferred pupils from leafy Sutton Coldfield to the slightly less leafy (i.e. Beirut on a bad day)Pype Hayes estate.

Being in year 11 we exercised our rights as oldest/hardest/fattest to the upstairs back seat and proceeded with the obligatory food fight. I should point that these inevitably ran out of food quite quickly as we were unable to conserve our ammo and often ate it at lunchtime. So bad was it we often resorted to throwing empty sandwich boxes and still full and sealed cans of pop at each other. These battles were so intense they would give Harry Patch PTSD and resulted in broken noses and on two occasions a broken upstairs windscreen,.

It is during a particularly heated one of these confrontations that William disembarked the bus in what has in later years regarded as about the most legendary thing any of us has ever seen.

As Will stands at the top of the stairs a particularly large year 7 hurls a Transformers lunchbox (the ones that also had a flask in them) at him cracking him right between the eyes. In shock he steps back falling down the stairs looking like a Charlie Chaplin tribute act. He proceeds to gambol backwards down the stairs. The bottom of the stairs is right opposite the doors of the bus as Will falls he promptly flies through the now open doors and lands in a dazed heap in the gutter at the bus top.

Length??

The lunchbox flew about six feet with pinpoint accuracy.
