Bus Driver Kicks Sleeping Man Out into the Cold, Gets Home and Sees Him Again — Story of the Day

A bus driver in a hurry to get home kicked a sleeping man out into the cold; imagine his dismay when he gets home and finds the same man there.

Larry, a bus driver, was running late. He needed to be home because his daughter Cindy was going to introduce him and his wife to her fiancé — his name was Justin.

Larry had always dreamed of his daughter getting married, but the girl had always been focused on getting good grades and reaching the height of her career as a ballerina.

“When will you bring me a man I can drink beer with?” Larry would often ask her.

“I’m creating one, don’t worry papa,” she would wittingly reply to him even though there was nobody.

Now that she had finally come forward with a man, Larry was running late. His bus, a long 24-seater, could not reach high speeds, and he still had two other stops to make.

“Shante is going to kill me,” Larry muttered as he stopped at a red light and checked his watch.

His wife Shante had advised him to take the day off, but he refused because he did not want to be cooped up doing nothing all day. He smiled to himself because he knew she had been right — again.

As he reached his last bus stop, the last of the passengers alighted except one. It was a man who looked to be in his late twenties; he was dressed expensively, and at first glance, seemed to be sleeping.

“We’ve reached the last bus stop, sir,” Larry said loudly.

When he got no reply, he stepped onto the bus and walked to where the man was slumped in his seat. A more careful inspection revealed a broken bottle of wine at his feet.

Larry scrunched up his nose at the sickly sweet smell of the wine. “Must have been good stuff,” he thought as he reached for the man.

“Wake up!” he exclaimed as he shook the man.
