American living in the UK confused as to why bus stops face the 'wrong' way
some supermarkets have clock towers and even more confused by why trees are “locked” in tiny cages.But this time, the American who posts under the TikTok username @swfinds has become totally taken aback by bus stops.They realised that some UK bus stops face the wrong way, with the seats placed looking onto the path rather than the road.Unfortunately for the American, they admitted they missed three buses in one day as they were not sitting facing the bus lane.In a TikTok clip that has racked up thousands of views, they questioned: “How do people in the UK know when their bus comes if all the bus stops in the UK face the wrong direction?”The American filmed a London bus stop that had a glass panel and shelter covering the red bus stop bench.So when sitting down, the soon to be passengers would not directly be able to see the bus coming.Instead of proper answers, some Brits decided to joke about the reasoning behind the ‘wrongly’ placed stop.One person chuckled: “When we are born here they put microchips into our brains so we can detect buses and when our tea is getting cold.”Another user jested: “Bus drivers are intimated by direct eye contact so you have to face the wrong way and listen for it coming.”Whilst a third mocked: “The buses never come.”Luckily for the American, they were able to get the right information from other users.One user shared: “Sheltered from cars splashing us with puddles. Make sense.”This person noted: “It rains a lot so it’s in case there is a puddle so a car doesn’t splash water on you.”As this user pointed out: “There’s a time table.”And, someone else slammed: “We have ears, eyes and a handy thing called a neck.” Get all the biggest Lifestyle news straight to your inbox.
