Why can't I get on a Bus like a normal person?

Since I started using the public transport that is buses I seem to always embarrass myself! I've come to the conclusion that me and Buses just don't get on very well, and neither do me and a certain bus driver. The first time I used a bus I was around 11 or 12 and I went up to the driver and said these penultimate words "Ticket please". Yes I actually said that, I'm going to put it down to watching to many movies and TV programs where they say that and just get on. Since this first incident I have learned that you actually have to tell the bus driver where you want to go because sadly there not mind readers. One of the most recent times I went to get on a bus was a few weeks ago, I was meeting my friend who was already on the bus and we were going to go training. She wasn't sure how much it would cost for me to get on this bus so I took £1, usually it's around 90p so I thought I'd have enough. Anyway the bus pulls up and I step onto it, ask the driver for my ticket and telling him where I want to go, then he replies with £1.10! As I mentioned earlier I only had £1, so I was 10p short. I looked over to my friend sitting on the bus and ask if she has 10p. She didn't. As I looked around not knowing what to do I notice the rest of the people looking at me like I'm a total freak. The bus driver then repeat to me that it's £1.10 and I was close to slapping him. I eventually made the decision to walk and me and my friend got off the bus and started walking around 3 miles. I was really angry because anyone of those other passengers on that bus would've had 10p!! I ended up getting massive blisters on my feet and a great story to tell, along with immense embarrassment.
