Dealing with Rude Cleaner at end of Shift

So my current company as a bus driver they always takes the mileage at either end of the trip. In the out-based depot where I finish there's no mechanics/shunters so it's the cleaners (sub-contracted) instead who note it. Some ask the driver for it, and some don't and take it from the tachograph themselves later on. I think some don't bother taking it at all.

There's this one big guy who doesn't say thanks when I call out the digits. I meet him about one in 5 shifts when finishing and it's just me and him there. He either grunts or just says "yep". It's funny because it's as easy to say "thanks" as it is to say "yep". Sometimes I'd be ready to leave by the time he gets to the bus and I'd go to the trouble of getting out my key again so I could call it out. One night I tried to explain it to him as nice as I could, before I actually called it out. It seemed very unexpected to him and he couldn't seem to understand... started saying "I'm just noting the mileage as a favour to you" and that it wasn't his job, and that it was for the bus company. I then of course called it out, and then he said "yep" even tho I'd explained it a few secs ago. I said "thank!" and he said "oh right" like as if "ah, now I get u".

Anyway, nothing changed after that. One time recently I said "thanks" like as if I was saying "now this is what u say..." and he just said "yep". All of the shunters (grumpy ones included) say thanks". Last night I calmly told he can do it himself from now on. He goes "no, you". I told I don't case if he does it or doesn't do it, but that I won't be doing it because he's manners is bad. He cut across me and said "that's fine" and stormed off to grab the hose to refill coach toilet. I'd forgot to turn off the lights as I hadn't driven a Vanhool in months, and then he made a dig at me for that, so I went back and turned them off.

I know it's a little thing but I just said "fcuk it" that night. I shouldn't have to teach him to say it to me.

 

I actually had a chat with one of the other cleaners about this guy and he said I was dead right with the way I handled it!

 

Maybe you should be evaluated of Histrionic Personality Disorder or Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

 

Must feel good to let it all out.
Now look in the mirror.
I've learned not to expect much of my fellow man anymore, which is very sad.
