BusesWe'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

Paint VaultingMany years ago, I was on the 49 bus from Broadmead (Bristol shopping centre) back out to Staple Hill (the boondocks)where I then lived.
I was on the top deck about half-way back and the bus was packed.
A few stops into the journey a young couple get up to disembark carrying many bags of shopping and a big tin of magnolia Dulux paint... which they dropped down the stairs...
The lid came off and the contents globbed out covering the entire staircase except the top 1 or 2 steps and filling the bus with the heady smell of fresh paint.
After a brief conflab with the driver it was decided that the journey should continue.
Those wishing to disembark from upstairs therefore had to jump/vault across the lake of paint which covered the stairs.
