I think the order of posts in the thread I posted about my @megabusuk incident was muddled up, so I will share screenshots of the posts in their intended order here.

When you start watching a video from someone you follow, but you have to stop watching when they mention someone you don’t follow.

♥️ POPPY FOUND SAFE.
Following advice owner had put down an item of her clothing for scenting near where she went missing, when she went to check this afternoon Poppy was found laying on it 😀
Lovely news.

To think that muting someone on here automatically turned off notifications from them…

Why do I keep seeing videos about old news in my YouTube subscription feed? At least videos of cute animals never get old…

@LetToysBeToys @Poundstretcher1 While I'm pleased to see that one pair of so-called girls’ gloves was blue, I thought it was stereotypical to see a boys' pair with a football theme and a girls' pair with am empowering slogan on it. #LetToysBeToys #LetGlovesBeGloves

[April Slocombe @Stompgal_87]

@LetToysBeToys I know this sounds out of season right now, but I was browsing the @Poundstretcher1 website yesteday and I spotted these gloves that had boy and girl labels on them. #LetToysBeToys #LetGlovesBeGloves

STORYTIME

On Sunday 12th May 2024, I boarded the @megabusuk from London Victoria Coach Station to Newport South Wales Railway Station.

As I boarded the coach, I got my handbag strap caught on the arm of one of the seats. The passenger in the adjacent seat commented on this.

[April Slocombe @Stompgal_87]

whether people who cause unintentional incidents or actions are neurodivergent, disabled or neurotypical. This part of the response also made me feel like I had used my autism as a lame excuse for not wanting to be sent off the coach and wait for another.

[April Slocombe @Stompgal_87]

I am not sure if taking the matter to head office would be the right thing to do but the next time I travel to Newport, I will take the train where I will receive travel assistance to ensure that I don’t experience a similar incident on the coach again.

[April Slocombe @Stompgal_87]

I have also posted about this incident on Facebook, including the screenshot of the response, and one of my friends advised that I should take the matter to the Megabus head office because the response made her mad.
