Sorry! I'm not in service!
Why the blithering fuck do the bus company cunts feel the need to put mindless shit like that on their buses?

A simple "Not In Service" will do thanks.

Or perhaps
"Ha ha, I'm not stopping, so you'll get rained on, ya bastard"

I don't get that at all
They're going my way, the least they could do is give me a fucking lift to the station

Buses round my way
simply say "OXOO OOOOOO" when they're not in service.

Any inanimate object should not talk as if it's a person,
whether it's a bus, food ("I'm delicious and packed with nutrients!"), or a mailer daemon ("Sorry I couldn't deliver your message"), or whatever. You are a MINDLESS ENTITY. You are NOT MY EQUAL, so don't dare to speak to me as if you are.

"You are NOT MY EQUAL, so don't dare to speak to me as if you are."
The same could very easily be said about most people with whom it is my displeasure to interact.

ah yes
I was in a rage yesterday and couldn't articulate. You've hit the nail on the head.

Especially not when
they not only "talk" as if they are people, but as if I am severely developmentally impaired (or just four years old) like the cartons for smoothies do. Not just Innocent ones, but the supermarket own brands as well.

Indeed lots of other faux organic, "natural" brands (e.g. Higgedy pies, Ben & Jerry's ice cream) seem to treat their customer base like they are indulgent parents and we are small spoiled children.

I did a clicky
because I liked the story but I loved 'blithering fuck' and will unashamedly steal that phrase and use it at work.
