There are a few things that passengers do that bemuse me. As 'avids' will know by now, I come across some right thickos in my job. I can try and fathom why they act as they do, but sometimes there is no explanation. One such example is when a passenger is stood at a bus stop in the correct place - just where you'll pull up - but upon you indication and pulling up to the stop, the put their head down and walk towards you, leaving the place they were stood which happens to be the place you'd geared yourself up to stop at.
They start walking towards you, remaining on the path.
Why?
Just stay where you are! You may have (or may not have, in so many cases) hailed the bus to stop and seen the driver apply the left indicator, so guess what? He's pulling over to allow you to board.
Why then walk towards the bus that's heading at you at speed?
STAY WHERE YOU ARE!
I wonder what a psychologist would make of this?
Common-Sense Solution: Just pull up where you'd originally budgeted to. Don't brake any harder to stop sooner as this will detract comfort for your existing passengers. Go past the person walking towards your headlights like a lemming and pull up precisely where they were standing. Make them walk back to you. They might learn.
