Not Me But a Friend
Got onto a bus and apparently put the wrong amount of cash into the box before getting his ticket - a whole 10p short. Bus driver suddenly pulls out one of those instant cameras where you get your pic right away and takes a pic of said friend, before accusing him of theft.

Said friend, in front of 20 passengers - one of whom happens to be a jounalist - then loudly accuses the sod of being all of the following:

"paedo" (he was 14 at the time),
"fat" (well he was a bus driver after all),
"cunt" (because he clearly was),
and many many more...

Driver doesnt particularly appreciate this, but of course can't get into a fight with a 14 year old so instead phones the police, who arrive to find everyone on the bus telling the driver what a worthless shit he was.

The driver was arrested (apparently - it may in fact be that he was replaced so police could have a little chat in the back of their car) for taking pictures of little boys but presumably got away with a warning. Friend ends up in paper with a big grin beside a bus, holding a full letter of apology from the bus company and a free travel pass for the rest of the summer.
