The best ever though was when I ran the heart out of myself to catch the bus, arrived gasping (I was never fit) at the bus stop to find the bloody thing was BROKEN DOWN! Man, I must have been laughed at in secret by everyone who was on the bus, waiting for the replacement!

This situation is quite the predicament. It all depends on how desperately one needs to get on that particular bus I believe.
If you can get the next one in 10-15 minutes and it's fair weather, I wouldn't bother breaking sweat to rush for the current bus.
If you had a job interview to attend and that was the only bus to head in the direction you needed to go, you had better get doing your best Usain Bolt impression.
Those disapproving looks from those that witnessed your frantic dash can easily be quashed by sitting behind them in the bus.
