I also find it interesting that you used asshole correctly, but not with then. (nothing better to do then get a man down on his luck arrested.) Correct use (nothing better to do than get a man down on his luck arrested.)

To the point where the cops are called and the bus is actually stopped solely to kick the guy off? The difference between this route and city routes is people who live in the city are used to seeing poverty, and are often more compassionate towards- I can't count the number of times I've seen fellow bus riders dig into their own pockets to ante up for people who are truly destitute and can't pay their way. - that is when the people are most in need,and not some silly teenagers who apparently squandered their bus fare on soda or something stupid. I'm real glad you had an amusing "adventure" to tell your co-workers , but I feel sorry for the man in question. I feel sorrier for the petty uptight asshole who coerced the driver into calling the cops. This tale only serves to solidify my impression that the 'burbs are hellholes full of uptight, self centered white people who have nothing better to do then get a man down on his luck arrested.
