Many years ago I was having dinner with my Aunt in a hotel in Cobh, Ireland. She was facing the entrance and suddenly had the strangest look. I said what's wrong? She proceeds to tell me that many years before a trolley driver in Westchester County, N.Y. made a very insulting remark to her. She reported him and was threatened with the loss of his job.He was made to apologize to her face. I had never heard the story, and as he passed by our table I recognized him as the bus driver who would not believe I was entitled to students half fare. I was 11 yrs. old and very tall. I wrote a letter, and again he was made to apologize for harressing me for 16 blocks.

So this crabby bastard must have spent his career driving the passengers nuts. Today they probably would pay no mind to our complaints.
