This still makes me laugh
On a bus down Camden Road in the morning rush hour. We crawl along and eventually the bus stop is in view. The Terminus. Cue jobsworth. A number of passengers ask him to open the door and he's having none of it because his bus isn't at the stop yet. More people join in and the atmosphere is getting tense. Jobsworth laps it up and the doors remain closed. We move a few more inches towards the stop and still we remain captive. I spot the emergency door release and make my bid for freedom. The doors open and the alarm sounds and there is a mass exodus. I can still see the driver's red face and hear his driver's muffled expletives as I walked by feeling like a hero.
