Bus driver: +1, Urban kids: 0, Me: -1

While on the second bus home from college, some urban kids think it would be "fun" or enjoyable to tug the stop cord like 5 million times right after I pull it once. We were at the bottom of the hill and my get off point was at the top.

The bus driver stops the bus on the hill (with no regard to safety around us--people usually speed up and down this hill so he was creating an unecessary obstacle) and opened both doors so all the cold wind comes in on the poor old people sitting by the door. The kids start saying "wrong stop sir" and he hard-headedly says "no, for you it isn't".

What follows was, for a moment, pretty funny. The kids and him kept going back and forth and finally he got up and said he was going to physically remove them. I'm guessing he was cautious they might have guns (lots of shootings in this area of North York) so he didn't do sh!t. But it was actually hilarious to see how fast they get agitated sitting on a hill, going nowhere. The kids around here are loud-mouthed, highly illiterate and impatient to boot. They were getting pretty testy. Oh and they are pvssified too. They wouldn't get off because it was "too cold" (Toronto cold? hah!)

After 5 mins I just thought to myself "fvck this" and said a few atot offensive words and jumped off. (He said he had 15 mins to burn and it wasn't worth my time)

I walked up the vertical hill and beat him to the corner then walked in front of his bus so he couldn't do a right hand turn and proceeded to walk the street in to my house.

In the end the bus driver got to be an ass for the afternoon (to all the other people on the bus), the stupid urban kids will likely remain the same and squeeze out a dozen like them during their lifetime, and I have big-ass blisters from my boots.

Having [stupid] pride = :thumbsup:
 
He is a bus driver. He probably drinks himself to sleep every night. The kids will end up in jail or dead somewhere. Where as you are in college making something of yourself.
You win.

A disabled win. These blisters are huge :Q

I understand the bus driver's frustration. Just look at his job and the rift-raft he would have to deal with day-to-day. However, that doesn't mean he had to be an ass to everyone else on the bus. There were a handful of older people on that bus--why should they be subjected to that sh!t? They paid their money give them a goddamn ride.

I'm 6'6" and had half the nerve to bust up both the kids and the driver :frown:

so it's OK for the driver to be subjected to it? why is the driver in the wrong for thinking the kids had questionable morality? is it not the driver's responsibility for the safety of the people on the bus?

also, your comment about "...opened both doors so all the cold wind comes in on the poor old people sitting by the door...," what about every other stop? are there no cold winds at every other normal stop?

Wear your war wounds with pride. And let them think what they may. Next time he gives you sh!t, remind him that he drives a bus and that he is fat (if he is fat, because fatties hate that).

And leaving them open for the whole 15 minutes? If you've been on a bus they open and close immediately after people get on or off (during winter months).

furthermore, these two statements contradict each other:

Well I should have said cool wind. Whatever. Old people feel that stuff. The kids made it sound deadly.

I didn't mind the walk myself.
