MOVE DOWN THE F**KING BUS. We know your stop is coming up in 8 stops, you special snowflake, but MOVE DOWN THE BUS.
2. If you’ve nothing left on your Leap card and you know you have nothing left on your Leap card, don’t knowingly hold it up to the machine and then feebly wave it at the driver when the machine rats you out
Your pitiful shrug means nothing. You know there’s no money on it. We know there’s no money on it. The driver knows there’s no money on it. STOP HOLDING US UP.
3. Take your turn at the Leap machine
It can only scan one at a time. No amount of impatient huffing and pushing is going to change that, you important b***ox.
4. But don’t take too long at the Leap machine
Whoops!

5. Close your effing legs
I think @dublinbusnews should consider some PSA posters about bus etiquette and manspreading
12. If you drop a bottle on the floor of the bus, pick it up, you animal
Nobody wants to listen to it rattling around for the next seven hours
13. Always push the button. Always wave frantically for the bus to stop
Dublin Bus drivers are among the most unpredictable creatures known to man. If they want to sail on past your stop, by God they will. Don’t leave any margin for error.
So apparently in Dublin you have to wave down your bus. They don't just stop for you if you're standing right beside the bus stop with bags

Nobody wants to spend their journey home hearing about what COLLETTE DID AT THE WEEKEND NO SHE DID AISLING I SWEAR TO GOD SHE’S SOME CARD.
