Why the hell am I on a day long bus tour?

First of all I have no idea of why I am even on a bus, clearly I have been paid an enormous amount of money or I have lost a bet. Bus travel and me, we do not get along, mainly because a bus seems to be filled with travelers who possess either, or both, of these horrible qualities.

Having been forced or coerced into this trip I would pick the quiet starer and my reason is quite simple. I am the worst small talker ever. I find small talk annoying and a waste of a lot of energy and let's face it, spare energy I do not have! If you ask anyone who knows me well, they will tell you I am a horrible liar, but I am an even worse faker. I just can not feign interest in anyone's stories about their quirky cat. I think if you have nothing interesting to talk about then let's just be quiet, enjoy the view and please do not ask me if I think it is going to rain soon.
