10 Things Only Inbetweeners Fans Understand

2. Bus Users Deserve Abuse

There€™s nothing worse than travelling on public transport at the best of times, but when a bunch of teenagers who, despite occupying a yellow Fiat Cinquecento, demean your non-driver status even further by leaning out of the window to call you €œbus w*ankers€ as they cruise by, it€™s a recipe for disaster just destined to become a classic television trope.

For while Jay€™s party trick succeeds the first time, the sad inhabitants of the bus stop gazing emptily back at him as the rickety number ten pulls round the corner, his second performance sees the boys set upon by one particularly tough member of London€™s bus-using fraternity.

Yet despite Jay being forced to frantically apologise in order that the offended punter remove his hands from his throat, teenagers in the UK were quick to turn the trope into a nationwide trend, bus users across the country being singled out for abuse in what remains the dorkiest craze ever.
