Somehow - and I don't know how this happened - but I am the go to girl when it comes to questions about the local bus schedule. Its surprising how many people don't know how to use a bus schedule. I know a few local routes because I am an occasional bus rider, but outside of that, I would have to consult the schedule too, I certainly haven't memorized the times etc. To me it isn't that hard to read, but other people look at it like they might look at a wall of hieroglyphs without benefit of the Rosetta stone. I do know one woman at work has an ulterior motive when she refers people to me, in that she thinks riding the bus is less important than having one's own car and she likes to make sure that I see the "class distinction", but others legitimately come to me for help. I give help where I can, but I think they are a little disappointed when I say "ask the bus driver, he probably will let you know your next move".
Anyone, not "outed", find this happening to them too? Probably yes, but I am interested all the same
