Today I had a bit of a frustrating day. This morning I ran the run for a cure (It was supposed to be 5 km, but was more like 4... and SO many people it was insane). That was cool. Laura and I had taken a bus there, so we hopped on a bus on the way home.
Well, at the end of last month my student picture ID expired, so I got a new adult pass. I was going to get a new adult picture ID, but it wasn't really high on my priority list. So, I got on the bus to go home from the run, and the driver stopped me. He took my pass, invalidated my 63 $ monthly pass (telling me that I would get a new one when I got a new picture), and gave me a day pass. He wanted me to pay on the spot (!?!), but I didn't have any money. Hell, I still had my race number pined to my shirt. Grrrr...
So, I went home, got cleaned up, (took a nap), and went back to Rideau where the only place that was doing picture ID's today was open. The line was loooong. It took me 45-50 minutes to get my new picture. Not that I am annoyed. Oh no. Not that it was a big pain in the ass. Oh no. Oh wait, I am and it was. :-|
Still, even with all that, it was my own fault. But I'm still pissed off.
you'll be happy to notice that your adult pass doesn't have an expiry date. The only reason that your student one did is because they don't want people who aren't students only paying student fare.
ReplyDeleteIf your careful and hold on to your pass, you could still have the same picture ID when you're 60
