Dangerous bus re-route.

Because of construction like two-and-a-half blocks north of where I live, a bus route that usually goes through there is temporarily re-routed and swings down and goes for a bit on the one major street near me to avoid that impassable construction section, and then after a bit cuts back through a more-residential street to re-join its usual route.

And, while all this was happening, I'm walking home from work, and as I get to the intersection, I see a bus on the opposite side of the major street, and I process it as a regular bus that will continue onward on that major street, but it's actually a re-routed bus, so I look down to check the text messages on my phone and I go to go across the residential street, only for the re-routed bus to start up and start swinging a lefthand turn towards where I was walking, since it's the shortcut it needs to take to get back onto its typical route.

And, of course I saw it and stopped, and of course the driver saw me, but still, it was jarring. 

You just don't expect a huge city bus on that small residential street, and so you have different safety practices there and you just walk across that intersection blithely.

Usually I walk diagonally across the untrafficked street there, too, on my way to work, and around that same time I realized I was lollygagging down the middle of the street as this big bus was starting to come right through there.

I mean, too, this has been my route for several years now, you just don't expect a big change like that, and it's hard to adjust your routine.
