Green Light Go

On my way home from my LAST CLASS OF THE YEAR yesterday, just riding the bus, and listening to my iPod. I was about fifteen minutes from Fallowfield Station (which is 15 minutes from home), when we stopped at a bus stop to let a lady off. The bus was level with the snowbank, and the lady was getting off out of one of the back doors. These doors swing outwards (sort of, it's complicated to explain) very quickly.
So this lady waits for the bus to stop, and pushes on the doors, which don't open, even though the green-light-open light was lit. So rather than patiently waiting, or going to one of the other doors on the bus, she threw herself against them as hard as she could - at the same time that the bus driver opened the door using his bus-driver-magic powers. Needless to say, the doors fly open, she trips and stumbles off of the bus, landing in the snowbank and cursing as the bus drove away.
The bus driver hadn't turned his microphone off - we could hear him laughing all the way to Fallowfield.
I'm wondering if there's a potential lawsuit in the works.

PS. If you didn't catch my oh-so-subtle declaration, I am DONE MY SECOND YEAR OF UNIVERSITY (classes. not exams. yet.)
