i always root for people who run for the bus. i cheer for them out loud while in my car or in my head when walking down the street. and it always makes me smile when i see the bus driver stop a little longer for them to get on the bus. it's a small triumph but it makes your day. i do this because i've been in that situation and i know how it feels to run after a bus and catch it. and also know how disappointing and embarrassing it is to miss it. it's one of those things i can personally relate to with complete strangers.
