Bus Stories
Apr. 10th, 2013 12:32 pmOh hey, I never got a chance to tell you guys about the craziness that happened on the bus the other day! I was coming home from school on the 3:38 -- not usually too crowded, but today we had a group of older teenagers/young adults in the back. I guess they were heading to the beach or something -- I heard mentions of Galilee and places like that. I wasn't paying all that much attention (was reading something for a paper). Anyway, they were being a bit loud and obnoxious, but I didn't notice them doing anything particularly asshole-ish.
That is, until we get to the second Park & Ride on the way back to Wakefield and the driver stops and orders one of them off.
Turns out the driver thought they had an open container of something, which is prohibited on buses. The guys argued that the guy was just SPITTING in the cup because of "dip," which -- that's a lateral move, isn't it? Chewing tobacco, right? And the one who went up to argue with the driver seemed to have an empty can of BEER on him. So -- yeah. After repeated protests, the entire group eventually got off in a show of solidarity, as another passenger told them "there'll be another bus!"
Except I'm pretty sure there wasn't for them. They were calling insults to the driver as they got off (mostly along the line of "faggot" and "say hi to your boyfriend," and I'm thinking "really?"), and it looked to me like said driver radioed in a warning about them to the other buses. Hope your "dip" was worth being stranded, jerks!
At least it wasn't as bad as the time there was a bus parked at the stop outside CCRI with a belligerent drunk guy on it. They had to call both campus and town police to get that guy out of the bus. Fortunately I was on the outside looking in in that particular incident.
