Hey, folks, I was searching the web for specifics on how tall the average bus was for a story I'm doing… and I stumbled onto this:

"Woman Denied Entry to Bus Because of Her Height"

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world we live in…  ::)

So do I – my height, in height-clearance terms, is dependant on how high I set the seat on my rise-and-fall wheelchair! ;D  In all seriousness, though, this does sound typical of bus drivers in the UK – the job seems to attract what we tend to call "jobsworths" or "little Hitlers" – those people who love to use what little authority they might have in order to make the biggest impact on people's lives. 🙁

True that it's offensive, but take a step back and look at it from a different perspective. You have to admit that having these people with their hand inside their coat front does add a little bit of hilarity to life, dark though it may be.

And Refaal, that's not short. My brother, 5 foot nothing at age 17, that's short (He's projected to get to be about 5'2", or something like that).
