The stop I'm at just says "7", but the bus coming says "7E". Oh, wait, I'm supposed to wait at the "7" stop at King/Columbia, not the "7" stop at Columbia/King?
My first experience with GRT not long after moving to KW ended up with me expecting the 7E, allowing the 7D to pass me, running 1/4 of the way around Ring Road at UW only to find out that the bus I wanted was the 7D and 7E didn't run on Sundays, eventually getting onto an 8 on University, and then transferring at Charles Street to the exact 7D bus that had passed me at UW 45 minutes earlier.
This was 2003. Not much has changed about route 7, apart from frequency, since then.
