Update: My bus breaking down changed how I see delays | Bad Day Turnarounds

I was having a awful day because my bus got stuck on a rural road for hours. Everyone was grumpy and I just wanted to be at my hotel. Then this nice lady next to me offered me some chips and we talked about her home town. We ended up sharing pictures and stories until help arrived! It turned a frustrating wait into a fun memory about meeting people.

Remember getting stuck in a MASSIVE traffic jam last summer. This truck driver next to me rolled down his window and we ended up sharing stories about road trips for like an hour. Made what could have been a horrible day into a pretty cool highlight. Definitely changed how I see boring waits now.

So do you find yourself getting less annoyed now when other things run late, like a slow grocery line or a delayed package, after seeing how that bus stop could turn into something good?

Totally get that feeling. Had a similar thing happen when my train got stuck once. Makes you see those little delays differently.
