Waiting for a train that was '5 minutes away' for half an hour.

The announcement said slight delay, but it felt like forever. I started counting tiles on the platform to pass the time. What's your record for pointless waiting during a commute?

Sat for forty five minutes once watching a bus countdown on the app... it went from 8 minutes to 2, then jumped back to 15. The tracker showed the little bus icon just sitting at a stop a mile away, never moving. Felt like watching a ghost. What's the worst ghost bus or train you've seen?

The 7:30 express bus to downtown once ghosted me so hard it never even showed on the map.

Nah, I gotta go the other way on this one. The worst is when you see the bus but it just blows right past you. At least with a ghost bus you can tell yourself the tracker messed up. But watching the actual 7:30 express cruise by while you're standing at the stop, clearly visible, and the driver just looks through you? That's a personal insult, lmao. The app can lie, but your own eyes don't.
