Yes - I have had multiple things happen after catching the wrong bus. Including an abusive driver and having to fork out for a replacement train ticket. Here it is:
This event occurred many years ago. To put it simply, I happened to catch the wrong bus with the intention of heading to Windsor. Instead, I ended up in a very bleak town called Slough.
Now, I'm not familiar with the areas of Windsor or Slough so in all honesty, it was quite stressful (especially after realising we were speeding along a road in the middle of nowhere heading towards Slough!)
I cannot remember the bus route, however I can remember that it was a First bus. We did pass through Windsor but we didn't pass the stop we intended to disembark at, thus we stayed on the bus and hoped we'd arrive there shortly. Bear in mind, that this journey was made at around 21:00 so it was terribly dark outside and we all had trouble seeing the surroundings.
Here, I should also add that 'we' is used as I was infact making my journey with a few other people (one of which was an elderly woman who is relatively close to me). A few people on the bus clearly had the same intentions as myself and my companions, because they too started questioning the driver as to where we were heading after we seemed to have left Windsor.
After about 5 minutes of being bombarded with questions about our destination and whether or not he could have stopped somewhere along the route close enough to our destination so that we could walk, he continually ignored us.
Soon, we were speeding along a desolate road in the dark with absolutely no clue where we were going.
Quite a while later, we arrived in some mysterious town called Slough and the driver quite rudely told everybody that it was the last stop. Myself, my companions and the other people who had the same intentions as us questioned the driver whether he was going back to Windsor and we could ride back to get to our intended stop.
He gave a series of blunt 'no's and quickly turned aggressive, calling my already irritated elderly travelling companion a line of vulgar terms. She was obviously very upset by this and she demanded his name (presumably so he could be reported), but he turned sarcastic and laughed at her whilst refusing to give his name.
We all had to make a trek to Slough railway station and fork out for new train tickets to get to our final destination.
For information, Windsor wasn't our final destination as we still had to catch a train from Windsor to our final destination, but we had a return ticket from Windsor.
Sadly, I still don't know the driver's name to this day and I'm terrified to think he may still be out there working for First Berkshire, dishing out a plethora of insults to passengers who aren't as happy with his service as he is himself when hurling insults at customers.
