KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 A young kid gets on the bus this morning. The driver starts off and suddenly we all get treated to Nirvana at full blast. The driver turns his head and tells the kid to turn it down. Soon things get even more stupid: Kid: "Have we passed the McDonald's yet" Passenger with some disability: "No, not yet" Kid to driver: "Will you be going right past the Safeway?" Driver: "We are running the normal route" pause Kid to driver: "Will you be going right past the Safeway? You know which one I mean?" Driver: "We are running the normal route" pause Kid: "Where does this route go?" Driver: - describes entire route with every turnoff and intersection - Kid: "Can you drop me off by the Safeway?" Driver: "I've told you the route already. I'm not repeating myself" Kid: begins to nod his head, falling asleep. Wakes up and asks "Can you drop me off by the Safeway?" Driver: "You need to take less drugs and think more" Kid: "I don't take drugs... but can you answer my question?" Driver: "I am trying to drive... can't you see the conditions outside?" Kid: pause. "I just need to know if you are going by the Safeway" Driver: "I'm not going to do your thinking for you. I told you the route. Think for yourself" Kid: "I don't even know where we are now" Driver: "We are at the intersection of 24th and 156th" ...this convo continued in like terms until the kid got off the bus... Be afraid, America. Quote
ZimZam Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Driver: "Think for yourself." Kid: "Why? That's what I have Google for." ...this continued until I'd had enough and threw him off the bus into a slush pile... Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 That driver deserves a cash bonus just for dealing with this one encounter (on top of probably working long ass hours this week in shitty conditions). Last night there was the group of people who got on the bus just to avoid a 4 block walk... then got mad when the bus did not stop where they wanted.... but 4 blocks past that (WTF? we have to walk 4 blocks anyways!)

The_Rooster Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Hello! It sounds like you were sharing the bus with that punching bag kid that likes Ron Paul and rock and roll music! Small barnyard! COCK A DOODLE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Quote
jon Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 This is why H1B visas and oDesk exist. Don't worry about the kid, he's fine. Mittens will give him his first $200k of dividend income tax free. Nothing to worry about. Quote

ivan Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 sounds like half of my students - i allow them to retake weekly quizzes, for example, and inevitably, the last month of school, after some kids taken 30 of the damn thigns already, he'll bitch about getting an F, whereupon i'll tell him to come afterschool and do it again, and he'll scream "whaaaaat?!? i can do that?"

ZimZam Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 ...and bring in his parent to berate you for your incompetence as a teacher, 'cause it's never Johnny's fault. Quote

j_b Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I'd have expected the driver to tell the kid where to get off the bus rather than to ask him to think (). May be the story wasn't related properly but I don't see anything there that justifies indicting youth. Quote

j_b Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Don't they teach bus routes and stops in school anymore? Damn kids! Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 Don't they teach bus routes and stops in school anymore? Damn kids! You've got a lot in common with that guy on the bus, j_bot... except in your case, you probably need to take more drugs (of a prescription sort) rather than less (of a recreational sort) Quote
j_b Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 besides giving you the opportunity to gratuitously lash out at someone on a daily basis and wearing a watch, i am not sure what else. We both have 2 legs? Quote
Fairweather Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Walking 4 blocks in the snow would be TR-worthy for a certain poster here. Macros of an ice-encrusted bus fender and a frozen pothole would follow his gripping account. On the other hand, j_b's shame of such elitist pursuits would prevent him from sharing his tale. Quote
The_Rooster Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 HELLO! You guys sure peck at each other a lot! Don't the hens do that enough for ya at home? Jeee-zus... COCK A DOODLE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote

Bashing someone because you don't think their climbing worthy of a TR is really, really lame behavior on a climbing web site. Just another window into your lovable personality, I guess. I won't bother considering how the "worthiness" of your own TRs compare because it should be obvious but isn't there any limit to your spewing bile at folks? Quote
Fairweather Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 isn't there any limit to your spewing bile at folks? You, sir, are a liar, a shill, and a neanderthal. Quote

j_b Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Very open minded of you, freedumb posturing hypocrite. Quote
j_b Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 isn't there any limit to your spewing bile at folks? You, sir, are a liar, a shill, and a neanderthal. quite meaningless when used out of all context and despite any logic, which, as you know very well, wasn't the case when I have addressed these adjectives at you (I bet it'll happen again). Do you need a reminder of how these epithets applied to what your wrote here? (by opposition to your baseless hateful rhetoric?) I feel like I am talking to a child. Quote

Is that why you're writing like one? Reading your tortured sentences is utterly agonizing. Please, take a class--or something. Quote
