Everything I learned, I learned from...???

This past week has been a bit of challenge, but I would like to try and take the high road and recall those times that were a "learning opportunity" - in the form of a multiple question test

1) You argue with someone how much better your bus route is than theirs and then without fail the next few days it:
a) is so full that you have to wait for 3 buses to pass in order to get on after waiting an hour
b) never shows up when you have a 7:30am meeting
c) breaks down right before you get on Lakeshore Drive.
d) All of the above

2) You return from Christmas vacation ready to start eating healthier and cooking more to save money, you find out that:
a) the friendly neighborhood grocery store is going out of business the last week of January
b) the friendly neighborhood grocery store closes early due to lack of product and hold New Orleans style funeral to mark the closing
c) the replacement friendly neighborhood grocery store won't open until the end of February, leaving a gap of approximately 5 weeks
d) All of the above

3) You have a conversation with your friend about how great it is that the Chicago winter hasn't been that bad and you haven't even gotten sick lately! A week later:
a) Suddenly it's 2 degrees outside, but it "feels" like -15
b) The new knob on your steam heater doesn't turn so you can't turn your heat on in the living room
c) You get a wicked cold so that you can't breathe and everyone at work gives you those "pitying" looks like leprosy is next
d) All of the above

Bonus Question (Please show your work)

You're crossing the bridge over the river at 9:30pm and have to wait for the light to cross. At the same time your bus turns the corner going the other way to your bus stop. It's snowing out with icy sidewalks, you're talking on your phone, a taxi is waiting to peal out in front of you, and Jupiter is in line with Venus. How fast do you have to run to be in the nick of time to just miss your bus? Bonus points if you calculate the weight, velocity, and annoyance of carrying three bags while wearing heels.

DVD update: Good news! I even entered a Borders and entered the electronics section and wasn't tempted! Much...okay, there were some tears...and gnashing of the teeth...and wearing of the sackcloth.
