And then there's this

Note: there's a shorter version on youtube if you don't want to spend 9 minutes of your life on it -- look for "Japanese Precision"...

Thanks to SI for this :-)

Weird. I was just doing this same thing with my friends yesterday...

For some reason I find this funny

So then this happened...

My motorcycle broke down today, so I walked a quarter mile or so to the bus stop. As I was waiting for the pedestrian signal to let me cross, I saw my bus, which was the last one of the day going to my town. I ran across the street (in front of the bus) and came panting up to the closed door. The driver was apparently mad that I'd made him wait by running across the street in front of him, so he looked right at me, scowled, and drove away.

I expressed my displeasure by waving my finger at him. Seriously, it would have taken him 4 seconds, no exaggeration, to open the door and let me on.

I got on the next bus, which caught up to the first one at a central bus stop/park-n-ride. I got off bus #2, and got on the original bus I'd wanted. As I got on, I said to the driver "Are you going to let me on this time?" He completely ignored the question, told me information about the fare, and pretended like nothing had happened. Then he was really nice to me for the rest of the trip.

Was it the finger that showed him the error of his ways? Probably not, but it kind of makes you think...
