However, it didn’t this time.

I asked my mom about it, and she said that it’s supposed to stop there without me ringing the bell.

He and the bus driver had a few words.

When the driver drove past it, I told him he missed my stop.

He raised his voice at me, saying I didn’t ring the bell, and I said it was supposed to stop here.

Thanks to him, I had to walk to the station and will likely be running late to work.

AITA?

Yikes! There must’ve been a better way to handle this.
