A lesson in catching busses from someone who should know better

There are a few things you should and should not do when you are attempting to catch a bus home after a long day of work. For easier digestion, I shall present them here in point form.

1. Leave work with enough time to get to the bus stop without rushing.
2. If you bump into a friend on your way to the stop, keep your conversation brief, even if she is cute.
3. When your bus arrives, even if you're rushed, take a few seconds to check whether it is the right bus.
4. If you happen to get on the wrong bus, get off as soon as possible instead of waiting on board "just in case" it gets closer to your destination instead of dumping you in the middle of bloody nowhere.

By following these simple rules, as I usually do, you can avoid the embarrassment of calling home and trying not to use the words "wrong bus" within earshot of the other passengers.

PS - No matter how often we do something right, we just might do it wrong next time.
PPS - I dub this "Mokalus's Rule of Practiced Idiocy".
