I just lost my shit on the bus

So I managed to keep it in throughout the "watch where you're going" comments and the sniggering (I walk with a white cane) from the fucknuggets sitting in the space reserved for wheelchairs (yup...one of THOSE threads...bear with). I stood near the front as the bus was nearly full.

A lady in a wheelchair got on. More fucking heckles, followed by refusals to move by the group (three lads, one girl). Comments such as:

"I've paid for my seat the same as you"

"You've already got a seat" (I shit you not!!!)

I KNOW I should have minded my own business- but I'd had it. Really long morning being pissed about by the council, and had been in tears just before I got on the bus.

They ignored the bus driver when he started to intervene.

I said, "if Ignorant Cuntitis was a disabillity, you'd have every right to sit there!" and some other choice one liners stolen inspired by this site 😂

Does this make me as bad as them?

They moved to the back of the bus in the end. I'm sitting near the middle as I type (hour long bus journey) and I can hear the little wankpots making comments about "the disabled (fucking hate that phrasr, forgive me- I'm quoting them) thinking they own the world". Oh, and the fact that "their fucking type" (they've used the "p" word a few times- I get mistaken as Asian sometimes, I'm actually Jamaican/Italian) can say what we like because the police will protect us!

I hope to God they don't get off at the same bus stop...

Please report OP. We need to bring to account ignorant behaviour. We seem to be going backwards in this area.

I'm re-reading George Orwell's 1984 after 46yrs. What comes across the second read is the acceptance of shitty behaviour from the younger generation towards the adults. They just seemed to lose the mojo to challenge ignorant thought processes. There'll come a time when we'll just roll over & think this shit is normal. Now that is more upsetting than an outburst. The driver should at least be trained by his employer to act in future for the positive

Good for you!

Ywnbu op - there are times when losing one's shit is OK and standing up for justice, protecting the weak from the strong and making ignorant entitled cunts know just how weaseley their behaviour is, are all in that category.

Also, Iceland sits partly on the North American tectonic plate and partly on the European tectonic plate. As volcanic activity along the mid Atlantic ridge gradually pushes north America and Europe apart, Iceland grows bigger.

@OrangeIsTheNewPop are you ok?

OrangeIsTheNewPop · 04/04/2017 11:56

Good morning!

Well, it escalated when we all got off the bus in Hanley. (I don't mind outing myself- I'm out anyway and always nc if it's anything secret). The police got involved, statements were taken, ans my usually Up Their Own Ass PIL (I say this to their face, don't worry- they call me ferel, I call them old farts...it works somehow 😂) are now bragging to their friends about how their tiny DIL turned ninja! I'm trying to be vague, because isn't there rules on talking about police involvement/ongoing cases etc?

Oh my goodness for some reason I thought it had calmed down after you got off the bus.

I. Sitting here thinking that's disgusting good on orange for standing up to the vile cunts, then you got off the bus and I thought good she's safe then it suddenly kicked off!

Hope your ok ninja feral Grin

That should be your new nickname Smile

OrangeIsTheNewPop · 04/04/2017 12:18

I'm absolutely fine! I struggle to stay calm at the best of times (ADHD, possibly more, right at the beginning of the diagnosis process) and I was SO proud at the way I held it together!

Maybe I'm growing up...

Glad you're ok OP and hope the police sort those young people out. Behaviour like that is completely unacceptable and you did the right thing in calling them out. I really cannot understand how some people can be so lacking in empathy/morals/manners.

Holy mother of Jeff, guys- look what I just found!

Trip the little shits up with your stick as they pass to get off the bus.

Good for you, these little shits need to know that they dont rule the world and they cannot go around acting like they do.
If more people did this then there would be less of it. If everyone in the bus had supported you then they would definately think twice about opening their mouths in public like that again.

Hope they get a good scare from police and really hope their parents are not like them and will give them hell too.

They were cunts, you just called them on it. Nothing U about that at all.

Absolutely fantastic. I wish there were more people like you OP, I would have cheered you on too

MrsJaniceBattersby · 04/04/2017 13:12

Well done OP

kali110 · 04/04/2017 13:14

Good for you op. Little shits Angry

SistersOfPercy · 04/04/2017 15:26

You know, I thought as soon as I read this 'First Bus' and Hanley bus station is not a surprise.
Good on you 'duck' Grin

OrangeIsTheNewPop · 04/04/2017 15:36

Sisters I've found that Saturday at about 11am is the worst for these sort of fights on the Dirst busses. You'll sort of get whwre I was original standing then- hanging on to the steel bar next to the shopping/buggy/random cat storage place? 😂

Jesus God. Where the hell do you live? Don't answer that. But it sounds like a hellhole.

AnnieAnoniMouse · 05/04/2017 14:29

Blimey. No wonder we haven't had any updates on the Giant Z (deliberately being vague) you're too busy sorting the 'yoof' out! Next stop, the Council. Go and Orange them into sorting their shit out!

SistersOfPercy · 05/04/2017 15:06

Orange I confess until recently I'd not used First for years (luckily I drive), the memory of the large Alsatian being sick at the front of the bus as it went up Lime Kiln bank and flooded to the bag forever haunts me.

I have cause to catch them for work occasionally, slice of life some days Grin
