Sometimes, starting and ending a trip on the employee bus requires great patience.
DCA:
1. The driver closed the door with my left leg stuck in mid-step. I screamed for at least five seconds before he put his newspaper down.
2. I love how they will allow 3 or 4 buses to line up at the stop, making everyone wait for the exact second to depart.
IAD:
1. Ground ops at this airport make third world countries look civilized and boarding the employee bus is like trying to get on the very last bus out of Kinsasha during an ebola outbreak. Let's make a really big funnel people, and shove, shove, shove! Don't try speaking any English, that is reserved for DCA hyper-civilized, Queen Mary operations. Spanish will not work either since it is the new English around here. You must learn several obscure African tribal dialects. Wear a rebreather mask. Do meditation on the ride and find your happy spot.
2. Why oh Why does the driver insist on driving 15 mph?
