That's called Murphy's law
There must be a Murphy's Law that covers that situation. But the sure cure for a late bus is to light up a cigarette. Bus is guaranteed to come before you get the first puff and have to discard the cigarette.
It's the law!
Dana
oh yes, every time. Doesn't work for me any more though, as I have given up smoking. Over 6 months now since I last lit up.
tee hee puff the maaagic draagon lived by the seeea
Congratulations!
I gave up smoking too, about 15 years ago. Consequently I had to give up buses too, couldn't put up with the delays!
...with four sets of counter rotating propellers that are shin and thigh high which have no safeguards around them, it's more like a flying Cuisinart™.
So it's another "blender". Can we assume that there's a slight learning curve on that one too.
Perhaps to help pay for the thing it could be used to harvest grain, or trim hedges?
...that's just a Natural Law of transit.
Even GPS tracking doesn't help. I've often watched as the waiting time seemed to stand still for several minutes or sometimes grow longer instead of shorter as time passed.
At times I considered taking up smoking because usually just a minute or two after you light up, the bus arrives. Used to happen to my mum all the time.

I must admit last couple of trips out I used Taxis. Problem with our bus service is that once it gets to the villages it is one way, does a round trip around Dowlais Penywern and Pant y Scallog before heading down the main road to the shops and then back to Merthyr Town. It takes me 20+ minutes to get to the shops and 5 minutes to get back home if I use the bus in both directions. I get the number 35 bus, that's the one right up the top right of this map, you can see the loop it makes. I get on (and off) about where the P for Penywern is. the local shops are just before where it goes back to being two way.

I never tried to smoke as my OCD thinks it is too dirty
30 years for me in August.
for you. And I am sure your feline friends are breathing better too. 
I admit that my comment about buses was just a joke. I've had a car or motorcycle since forever and haven't taken a bus since the last time I was in London (but that's a tale of misadventure for another day). Here in the US in this little town we do have a bus for the rural area into the big city (*snicker*) thankfully it is intended for people of ancient persuasion and makes a once a day trip to the places that old people gather like the the grocery store, the pharmacy, doctor's row, the hospital, and the crematorium. You plan your day (the whole day) around their schedule. Up before dawn to wait in front of the closed post office, to get dropped off in front of your first stop hours before your appointment. And then there is the two hour wait for the next bus to get you to the next place. If you've planned the day out correctly you can get back just after dark, with an arm full of melted ice cream and limp veggies, your prescription, an appointment for another doctor visit, and the cast taken off your leg. Thankfully you just pay once to get access to the bus all day. Which, now that I think of it, is a waste when you make that trip to the crematorium.
You'all think I'm joking about the stop at the crematorium. It's a block away from the pharmacy and right behind the Burger King. One can sit in BK eating and watch the smoke from the furnace curl lazily into the air. Some days it's black, some days it's white. One wonders if there's a new Pope in town. One also wonders if BK doesn't take advantage of such a nearby source of heat.
Thanks to Storm Doris, I need a new fence.
Bother. (or similar words)
I have a severly wounded Wheelie bin. It is limping along on one and a half wheels, oh and one broken bird feeder, the meal worms one. I am absolutely amazed it wasn't worse, cos it sounded horrendous last night.
My two wheelie bins were embedded in next door's berberis. Haven't seen any birdies today - exspect they're clinging on to something for dear life!

How about flying motorcycles? http://www.nbcnews.com/mach/technology/watch-futuristic-hoverbike-ace-its-test-flight-n724626
And flying people! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZRp6iRjnhQ
Morning. Day breaking somewhere above thick grey tropical overcast while city towers sleep on in a kinda uncertain twilight gloom waiting for the inevitablly few raindrops before sun's heat boils the clouds away :)
I would think a render would be preferable.

...well for the hover bike, I get a perpetual swirly (happens on some sites with embedded videos). From what I see just in the single frame, one bad leg move and your "throw a shoe" with foot inside. I know the designers want to cut down on weight as much as possible, but if it means losing a limb (or your life), it is sort of counter productive.
There's a reason a lot of us used what was known as a "Chicken Stick" in the old days of gas powered radio control aeroplanes. Even a wood propeller could lop a finger off.
Feel sick so sick I went home early from work. Hope I feel better by tomorrow.
I hope so too.
Have a good night's sleep! I hope you feel better in the morning!
Dana
feel better soonest!
...probably too late now for your time zone, but take it easy and get a good night's rest.
...really cannot wait until my Social Security case is finalised. In talking with my advocate, I have definitely made it past the really tough part as the second evaluation involves my income which should not even be so much as a speed bump considering I haven't worked a steady job for the last couple years.
Not so much impatient for the benefits as I am to qualify for Section 8 and get my own place again. Tired of waiting for other people in the dunny (often taking a shower when I need to get in there), the dogs yapping and barking (sometimes before I get up in the morning or after I turn in for the evening), and having to plan my cooking around others.
Tonight when I got home the kitchen was a total disaster, both sinks full, and there was pretty much no counter space to work in. Was planning to do my special Cajun Dirty Rice, but ended up baking the pizza I got for tomorrow night instead as the only uncluttered part of the kitchen was the oven. There is an automatic dishwasher but I use so few items some of which (like my cast iron skillets, Carbon Steel wok, wood handled kitchen knives, and enamelled French saucepans) need to be washed by hand so I just wash everything I use like I did at my old place. I feel havong hte dishwasher is part of the cause, as people just let things stack up without even soaking or rinsing them for a day or so. Sometimes I find bowls & plates with food left in them as well as eggshells, produce trimmings, dried on spills, and empty packaging left on the counters. I cannot help but feel part of the ant issue we have here at times is aggravated by the mess the kitchen is often in.
There are times I just take a deep breath and go out to get something to eat which I really cannot afford to do (crikey just a bagel and cup of tea at a coffee shop costs nearly 7$, for less than that, I could get a half dozen bagels, a tub of creme cheese, and enough tea which would last the week).
Speaking of bagels, I came home one evening to find the toaster gone. When I asked about it, I was told the toaster broke and they were going to get a new one (five, going on days later nothing has been done about it). I had just purchased a pack of bagels which I had to put in the freezer to keep them form going bad. Now I normally like a simple breakfast most of the time like Tea and a toasted Bagel or Crumpet as heavier breakkies tend to make me feel sluggish and tired. I am almost to the point of going to the storage unit and digging around for the toaster I have.
As this is not my place (two of the people here own the house) I feel I have don't have the right to speak up on these issues.
I really, really, really want my own place, one single floor, with my own bathroom, my own kitchen, a porch I can sit on during nice days, as few steps as possible (way too many stairs here for me to deal with every day, the cellar stairs to get to the laundry are so rickety and scary, I've considered just packing things up and heading to the laundromat up the hill)...
...oh, and maybe one cat, preferably a bit older and already housebroken.
[apologies for the lengthy rant]
@KK: No worries, complaint is in the title.
