I'm inspired. I remember when we were working at Springload and we were talking about bus drivers and how I never thank the driver when I jump off the bus. You were genuinely surprised and I felt a little bad. I will always remember to thank the bus driver now, Alan.

Thanks for the shout out Alan! On the subject of thanks, I'm curious about "thanks driver". I've always found the use of "driver" a bit, I dunno, condescending. It's like saying "thanks, supermarket checkout operator", or "superb consultation, medical professional". Perhaps I've heard too many surly Wellington College kids saying it.

I just tend to say "thank you". Admittedly this is more ambiguous, esp when I'm fighting my way down a crowded bus to get to the door and have to thank multiple people for getting out of my way.

Hmm.

Get over yourself Stuart 🤣

You could say "Thanks, Mass-transit facilitator" ??

Yeah fair enough... tell you what, I'll say "thank you driver" to you at least, Alan 😃
