It's not just that the bus is always late, it's also that when you are late yourself, the bus is always on time and just leaving.

Yes, or my favourite: the bus shows late and then later and later and later on the “next bus” feature on my phone, then eventually it jumps 20 minutes indicating the bus has been cancelled for that cycle, so I start walking home, only for the bus to show up when I’m just too far from the stop to reach it!

A variation: I used to take the bus instead of a 15 minute walk (it was late in the day, I was tired, etc). Sometimes the bus would take more than 15 minutes to arrive, so I questioned my decision to continue waiting. When I finally walked home, the bus would catch up with me a couple of blocks before I got home.
