I'll tell you a story that happened to me.  This is true as well.  I catch 
the 39 bus going from down town to my house all the time from the different 
job locations from which I work.  I go to other places as well from my house 
and from other points using this same bus.  I was boarding the 39 down town 
on an extremely cold cold day it was too.  I began to tell the driver where 
I wanted off.  He stopped me mid sentence and said "don't worry sugar, I 
know where you want off."  I thought he sort of did.  I sat down and waited 
for my stop to be called.  After a longer time than I thought necessary, he 
said "here is your stop."  When I got off I noticed the traffic was heavier 
than it usually was at my stop.  I asked someone some 20 or so minutes later 
when someone came along where I was.  She said I was a long way from the 
stop from which I wanted off.  He had taken me to the stop on which my bank 
was located.  Apparently, he had let me off at the bank before, and as we 
blind only go to one place when taking busses, Ha Ha, he probably supposed I 
wanted off at that stop.  I had to cross the street and get the bus 
returning the other way to get off at my stop.  The moral of the story is 
never trust a driver who calls you sugar.
