Just not the ticket.

Why is it that everytime I have no money on my Oyster card there is no ticket machine next to the bus stop? If there is one, it is usually broken or has 4 different varieties of urine and faeces on it making it impossible to get within three feet of the thing without throwing up. You may try to get on the bus and try and pay . Here is where the bus driver just looks at you as though you were a direct offspring of the elephant man and Janet street porter(the perfect freak) and were conceived on the planet Zorgon. Trying to explain there is no ticket machine doesn't help either, after all there is a tube station only about 2 miles away to top it up isn't there? Why not walk? Well, if I were to travel all the way to the tube station then I wouldn't need a feckin bus in the first place would I ?
