Got attacked today...

So I finally got "attacked" today for the first time in two years of driving.

I stopped at the bus stop, opened the doors and sat waiting for everyone to get off. Everyone got off and I waited 5 more seconds because people are usually slow and no one was moving.

Anyway, I closed the doors, put my right signal on and started to depart and as I was departing the bell goes and a lady shouts... I know what's happened, she was probably too busy on her phone etc.

So I keep driving to the next stop, she's screaming etc and then another guy comes to my cab smacking the cab door but I ignore and carry on because I've already joined traffic and onto the next stop. The next stop is literally a 2 min walk away as it's in London.

I finally stop, open all doors and a Somalia man in his early 20s chucks a drink through the cab hole and all over the wheel and electronics and slightly me.

Turns out it's a Somali family, push chair, 5 young kids and her belligerent son, the attacker.

Will I report it? No. Why? Nothing will happen.

That's my attack for the day. Might have another tomorrow.

Goodnight.

79 hours over the last 7 days.

London, UK bus driver here.

What's everyone's record for working straight over 7 days? I know we can do what is it, 13 days straight and a rest day but damn, I'm knackered.
