It sure doesn't sound like it's easy for that guy - the bus was running late as it was. Would it have killed him to take a thermos full of coffee along that morning, knowing the drive would be slow because of the roads and the increase in riders due to the storm? I once took a delivery to the Metro Transit garage - they wouldn't sign for it until after their break so I had to stand and wait 15 minutes... "union rules" state they are unable to sign for anything received while on a "break." There's no excuse for this guy's attitude. What's wrong with a polite statement that the driving is bad, everybody's going to be late and he needed a coffee? Sure, a lot of people would have been annoyed but to tell people to "sit down and shut up" doesn't work for me.
