Most drivers are fully aware that when cards are due to be replaced, these anomalies can arise. I've been on about 12 buses this week and without fail the drivers nodded in understanding when I explained that I'm waiting for my new card to arrive in the post.
The driver's attitude was hostile from the off, which was even more galling because I'm a very polite person. Being a jobsworth yourself I'm not surprised you would have have refused to let me on the bus. As for me being ashamed that I've threatened his job security, are you taking the p*ss ? The guy showed me no compassion and humiliated me in front of other passengers. Just get a life.
