Bus Drivers Are Stupid

All she had to do was let the girl off, and there would have been no trouble.

Date of Incident: 2/15/2008

 

my art class got a good laugh out of this, as did our teacher.


Also, Amaury, read the top comment of your video on YouTube. I'm not going to watch the video, but if that is the case then yeah, she shouldn't have been let off.

 

What's that have to do with art? o.O

Also, I think exceptions should be made.

Example:

 

absolutely nothing.


so exceptions should be made when people don't feel like following rules?

imagine someone saying that. "you don't want to follow the rule? that's cool, you're free to go."

 

I said exceptions.

Anyway, no, of course not. I'm referring to certain situations like the drunk school bus driver in that video, hence exceptions.

 

That video still make laugh my ass off.
"Wanna be a man? I'll treat you like a man". I died.

 

yeah yeah I know my mistake, thinking one word typing another.

ok, that's a completely different matter. If the bus driver is indeed drunk they won't be in any mind to make an appropriate exception (not that this is something where an exception needs to be made) and if the bus driver is indeed drunk, they should be out of a job, because that's another matter entirely also.


Also, I would like to point out that the bus driver being drunk does not change the fact that the person didn't want to follow the rule, so your counterargument isn't even valid anyway.

 

The thing is, the girl was in the wrong at first, but the bus driver handled it completely wrong after that. I'm pretty sure she's not allowed to force someone to stay on the bus if they want off, and when she actually touched her, it's pretty much irredeemable

 

Here's a report on it.

Bus drivers are just like everybody else? I had no idea!

 

Didn't say they weren't.

 

This missed joke has been brought to you by Amaury.

 

wow. "I realized after watching the videos that I was being really immature about it."

you mean you didn't realize in the moment that fighting the bus driver wasn't a good idea?

That girl is a ****ing idiot and shouldn't be allowed to leave the house, and anybody who defends her is just as insane.

 

Way to put her taking most of the responsibility down the drain.

 

I'm sorry, no.
When a person is angry, they don't think about things in that context. The fact that she came to that conclusion at all shows she at least has enough maturity to accept responsibility.
She was definitely in the wrong at the start, but there's no defending how the bus driver was acting as this progressed, adn honestly, I think the girl is shouldering too much of the blame.
Or... was.
This is five years old

 

I have no sympathy for people who are unable to manage their anger. Just because you're angry doesn't give the excuse to act however you want, you still have to think about how your actions will affect you, you can't just act on a whim because your angry at the moment. Taking responsibility after the fact doesn't make anything acceptable. Of course she is going to take responsibility, no one wouldn't take responsibility for their actions on television when you clearly started it because it makes you look like a giant ass. I've been angry many many many many many times at school, in public, at home, with friends, anywhere, and not once have I started a fight, been a part of a fight, or handled the situation in a way that would have extreme negative consequences in the future. This is just a typical dumb entitled teenager thinking something that is not important and certainly not worth fighting over is a huge deal, enough to start a fight on a bus.


I'm not defending the driver, the driver was in the wrong as well, but that doesn't change the fact that the girl was responsible and should have been held accountable.

 

You're asking way too much from a kid.
And the fact that the woman wouldn't let her off the bus, and physically touched her is wrong on her part.
Frankly, they both acted remarkably stupidly, but the bus driver really should have just let her off the bus. What did she have to lose?

 

Asking a kid to not settle conflicts like an uncivilized barbarian is asking too much?
And I'm not asking anything that I'm not capable of.
The bus driver was trying to enforce the rules on an entitled teenager. They were trying to make a difference. Sure, they went about it completely wrong and their actions probably hurt the situation more than it did set a positive example, but that was the intent.

 

So every kid must be as capable as you are in whatever fields you are capable in? Kids (especially fem-kids) are riddled with hormones, and only just learning how the world works. Expecting them to be the complete master of their emotions at all times, even when under extreme aggravation is ridiculously demanding.
And saying her intent was good but her actions hurt the situation doesn't seem like a viable excuse to me.

 

You hear about that guy who shot a bus driver and kidnapped a kid for I think six days? When the guy jumped on the bus and demanded a student, the bus driver refused and stepped in his way, letting most of the kids escape out the back before being shot and killed.'
