Missed The Bus

Just missed the bus on the way home tonight. Fortunately another bus turned up a few minutes later so I did not have a long wait. On top of that because the bus I had failed to catch had to stop at subsequent stops to pick up passengers while the bus I was on didn't have to we ended up overtaking the first bus towards the end of my journey and in consequence I arrived at my destination thirty seconds or so earlier that if I had actually caught the first bus.
