I was dispatching bus drivers
at Walt Disney World (WDW) when this happened...

I retired in 2013 as a software engineer. I moved to
Orlando and became a WDW
bus driver, then a trainer and also a dispatcher as a retirement job.
Here is a true store that
I had with a new bus driver on the radio late one night...
Parks were just closed and the drivers were bringing the final guests
back
to their hotels/resorts.
A bus driver called on the
radio that he was lost. My job is to try to ask questions to help
figure out where the driver was and help them get on their way.
My first question (dispatcher): Do you
know the name of the street you are on?
Bus driver: “No”
My second question (dispatcher): Do you
know the name of a street you recently passed?
Bus driver: “No”
My third question (dispatcher): Do you
know of any businesses, hotels you might have passed recently?
Bus driver: “No”
Now I am getting worried that I can’t
help that bus driver. So I thought of one more question to ask.
My fourth question (dispatcher): Do you
see any street signs nearby?
Bus driver: “Yes”
I thought, great, now we are getting
somewhere.
My final question (dispatcher): What
does the street sign say?
Bus driver: “Stop”.
