This account was on mumsnet and the responses intrigued me:-

After picking my child up from her child minder today, I arrived the bus stop to find two women with buggies waiting.
Knowing that the driver wouldn’t let three of us on, I walked round the corner to the previous stop and got on there.
When it arrived at the next stop, sure enough only mum was allowed on - the other was told to wait 30 minutes for the next bus. I was screamed at and called a cunt and a queue jumper by one mum who tried to shove me off the bus.
I don’t think I did anything wrong, nor did the police when they turned up after being called by the driver.

I dont feel this OP did anything wrong, mean or sly. She used her initiative in a way that I have often done in some similar situations.
When I worked alternate saturdays in Liverpool as a girl I was 2 stops on from the football ground on the weeks they played at home. Buses arrived full and there was a real scrum at the bus stop. Football fans can be very rough. I used to travel 3 stops in the opposite direction and transfer to a nearly empty bus at a stop just before the stadium. So I was already on the bus before the crowds of fans.
Do you think the OP behaved sneakily or strategically?
