as the driver pulled over around 60th street, a woman let out a horrific scream. everyone turned to stare. in a sad, sappy voice, she muttered about "cheap plastic bags" as she was surrounded by newspapers, magazines and toiletries.
best: the bus driver got out of his seat and offered to help her. the man behind her also gathered things. within 30 seconds, she had collected her belongings and exited.
worst: a group of UMN-adorned sophomores burst out laughing for the next 3 blocks--commenting loudly on her clothing, appearance, baggage, character, etc.
they were the only ones who didn't understand that her primordial scream was the fear of losing everything or missing her stop.... and thanks to our bus driving hero, she didn't have to make that choice.
