A long time ago I was driving on the total opposite side as a school bus, we were driving toward each other, the bus was still moving and just put on it's yellow lights.

First off it says stop on red, and it wasn't even stopped itself, and the stop sign hadn't even come out yet from the side. So I kept driving and the lady driving freaking goes nuts. Waving frantically out the window and so angry she's about to have a heart attack. I think she even honked. Wasn't a kid around or off the bus even. Geez. I think I must have triggered her lol.

I drove a school bus for a while, they paid 11.57/hour. Turnover was still sky high because of the incompetent management from the school district, but that's a separate issue. A good 1/3 - 1/2 of the drivers were retirement age, they did it for the pocket change and because they liked the job. Another 1/3 were in their 30s - 50s, they did it because they liked the job. The rest of us were randoms, mostly college students, who took the job because it was the best paying part time job anywhere.

So TLDR, it's not an issue of competence, it's that she was probably literally someone's grandma and she takes her job too seriously because OMG SHE DOES IT FOR THE CHILDRENS, THINK OF THEM.

I actually quit that job twice, both times I couldn't fucking take it anymore. That was actually in OKC, which isn't really a nice place, but my part of it had two large lakes that I regularly drove by. More than once it crossed my mind that I could floor it for about a mile (to get up to speed) and crash through a guardrail straight into one of those. It never would have worked though, they were too shallow.

lolno, having the two of them away for so long was great. Sure it was slower, but there was so much less threadjacking and threadcrapping. I can't deny liking a good nef thread, but neffing is a bit like driving. Any retard or drunk can get behind a wheel and make a car move, but that doesn't mean you'll want to be anywhere near them while they do it.

Quality > Quantity

1st world problem. Sorry for your lack of success.
 
My hotel is being renovated. Feeding the painters is my current trigger. They're like relatives who never go home. You never know how many are coming and they show up whenever the hell they feel like it and expect to be fed.
 
I have drama triggers.

never heard of "trauma triggers" but, I assume it means "things that make me fly into instant unstoppable murderous rage" ...

In which case, whenever people drive slow in front of me, or whenever people do not answer yes or no questions with single word answers.
