    Originally, thanking the bus driver was just a meme. "Thanking the bus driver" was an internet meme in 2018, originally started by an image that said people who thank their bus drivers are more successful and better people than people who don't. [1] Fortnite players took to Reddit to suggest adding the option to thank the Fortnite bus driver, and Epic added the feature a few months later as a fun nod to the original meme and community suggestion.
