Don\u2019t misunderstand \u2013 I love my job, I\u2019m easy going as it gets and I get along with almost everyone, but like most of you reading this I can\u2019t help but see red when the stereotype \u2018Brits Abroad\u2019 attitude crops up on the way to where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n

So for anyone looking for the very best way to rub your driver up the wrong way or worried they might already be guilty, here\u2019s a few of my biggest pet-peeves that you really can\u2019t argue as unreasonable\u2026I hope!<\/p>\n

Questions at the Wrong Time<\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m always happy to answer passenger questions and help out when I can. However, this doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ll take kindly to being asked about the political situation in Korea when I\u2019m trying to navigate a blizzard and sheet ice on the roads. It might be a testament to my driving that everyone manages to stay so calm and relaxed, but seriously \u2013 a bit of common sense at the right time makes my life so much more pleasurable!<\/p>\n

Boozed up Bussers<\/b><\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many that enjoy the smell of second-hand booze from a few meters back and I\u2019d like to bet this counts for double for those that are at work at the time. It might not bother you, but it winds me up when folks get on the bus half-cooked already and then proceed to continue drinking for the whole ride, leaving me with a stink to remind me of them for my next five or six journeys. So please, do me the kindness if you can bear to do so!<\/p>\n

Chaotic Kids<\/b><\/p>\n

\"A2A-kids

Smokers<\/b><\/p>\n

Seriously \u2013 you don\u2019t think I\u2019m going to know you\u2019re smoking in the toilet when it stinks to high heaven and has an alarm fitted? It\u2019s unreal \u2013 100% illegal and as rude as it gets, but something that still happens on way too many journeys I\u2019m piloting. It\u2019s a good way of earning a one-way ticket off the bus and unsurprisingly is something most don\u2019t respond to kindly!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s really no better way on Earth to see a full cross-section of society that by running coach transfer services for holidaymakers \u2013 of at least that\u2019s my experience of things. Allow me to explain; I\u2019m a coach driver currently working with\u00a0Alps2Alps airport transfers and spend most of my working life getting folk from the arrivals hall at Geneva Airport to where they need to be and then back again at the end. Sounds easy I know, but I\u2019d like…<\/p>\n
