Rant number 228
I really really don't need to talk about how much I miss my car. I hate buses and their crap timetables and the waiting around and the getting rained on and all the rest of it. I'm also really starting to realise just how many comforts being a driver allows you.
Temperature for instance, is something that it easy to take for granted. In my car, there is fair enough - no air conditioning however, I can open a window, put on a fan or turn up the heat. The bus on the other hand, has a temperature controlled by the bus driver and by other people. This then, is why this week alone, I have spent one whole journey almost freezing cold - and one journey boiling hot.
Then there is the radio - a much underrated device. I can listen to a CD (if my radio actually decides to work,) or flick the stations or use my iPod. On the bus, I'd have to use my earphones for this - and I just don't like doing that early in the morning (in fact, I generally don't like earbuds very much - but you cannot wear proper headphones in public without looking like a douche!)
I also like to listen to the news on the way home for work - a practice that has inspired more than one rant.
Then there is having to listen to rude people and their inane conversations. I'm sure they find me just as irritating of course, but at least my conversations raise eyebrows.
Still, car coming soon - I really hope. Please. God please!
Rant over.
