Those people who forget they've driven into work and go home on the bus,
well, I've done similar. Used to cycle into town with a toddler on the kiddy seat, or more rarely take the bus. Sometimes, seeing a bus arrive at the usual stop for going home I'd rush the kid and shopping onto it, congratulating myself on catching it in good time.

I'd then occasionally notice my pushbike, chained to a post beside the bus stop, receding into the distance. Damn! I'd have to run back later for it. It was always there, intact, when I arrived.

It has only just occurred to me that if I had a toddler with me, and no pushbike, I'd also have a buggy. You'd really think the absence of it would be a hint that I shouldn't be catching the bus. Durr.
