Bus door closed on my backpack and I rode 3 stops like a human kite
This morning on the 43 downtown, the driver shut the doors before I was fully in. My backpack got stuck and I had to jog alongside the bus for like 3 blocks until someone inside yelled "hit the button!" Has anyone else had their bag or clothing caught in the bus doors like that?

The bus driver just didn't look in their mirror or notice the resistance? That's a solid 50-50 on who's more at fault, you for not waiting or them for mashing the close button too fast. Did you at least get the bus number and report it, or did you just take the L and move on with your day? I've had my jacket sleeve caught once and the driver just opened it back up like nothing happened, no jog required.

The 43 bus got me too last month, my hoodie string got caught and I just stood there like a sad windsock until someone yelled. @jenniferb53 honestly the wind in my hair was the ONLY perk of looking absolutely ridiculous in front of 20 strangers.

Did you at least get some wind in your hair for the price of your dignity?
