Occasionally, at my bus stop, there will be a mum with her toddler daughter and I don’t know, if it’s just boredom, but every minute or so, she’ll ask her mum “When comes bus?” and then mum responds “Should be coming soon.”.

And of course, the bus wasn’t going to come. But unfortunately, humanity hasn’t yet developed the technology to remotely notify people, so we didn’t know.
We waited there for 15 minutes, with the toddler continuously asking “When comes bus?”. And then the sheer betrayal, when bus did not come soon. She had to walk another 20 minutes with her mum to where the bus was supposed to go…
