Bus driver chucks chained goth couple off his bus

[UnquietDad]

article here

What do we make of this?

I imagine they were paying fares like anyone else, and the bus-driver doesn't have "fashion police" on his job description.

I mean, I think they look pretty daft, but then they might think I looked daft as well. (There's probably some truth in the comment on the DM page about looking back on it in 10 years and finding it embarrassing.)

Although...

Dani Graves. Chortle.

(Do they take the chain off at night, I wonder? Or when one of them needs a shit?)

It's her culture?!

Driver shouldn't have chucked them off the bus.

Oh FGS.

At being treated as a pet (even ironically)
At the driver's behaviour.
At the way the DM reports it. "they're on benefits and are thinking of starting a family."

lmao

Love the Daily Fascist Mail pointing out that they
1.live on benefits

1. live in a council house
2. want to start a family all in one sentence. Brilliant

I must admit I don't get the whole "pet" thing. What is that all about?...

A Goth comes to my gym and jogs with a huge padlock around his neck. That cracks me up every time.

Leaving aside the issue of the bus-driver being a tosser, what would you think if she was your daughter?

Now on a rational level, I know this isn't supposed to be funny.

But somehow, it is . . .

My first thought, actually, UD, was "I wonder whether their parents are proud of them?" [fogey]

at the driver at the DM reporting (for the same reason as Peaches quotes)

Apart from the leash, I don't think they're dressed particularly OTT tbh. It's quite conservative for a pair of teenage goths I thought (kids today, no idea how to dress provocatively!)

Shell catch her death though.

Folk like that are generally soft spoken and harmless althoguh usually have terrible taste in airbrushed art.

PMSL at the whole article really.

glad i'm not alone, louii.

If she was my daughter? I'd say 'FGS put some slap on girl, call yourself a goth? I've seen better goths shopping in boden. Queen of the night my arse. Pah, you kids today'

They're all silly arses - Daily Bile, bus driver and silly girl who lets her bf walk her round on a lead (I have nothing against their clothes and hair - in fact once upon a time I looked a bit like that - less cleavagey though...but I really don't like the whole "dog on a lead" thing).

Agreed, the clothes and hair aren't especially outrageous when you compare with some. He looks desperately like he wants to be Wayne Hussey or that bloke out of Fields of the Napalm or whatever the hell they are called.

Erm, just a bit of FYI here... The 'pet' thing is BDSM rather than just gothic (though you can get away with a lot more BDSM trappings if you are also a goth). But what a pillock of a bus driver - he's got no justification for kicking them off the bus if he lets on: people with big awkward bulky items, or actual woofing barking pissing dogs, has he?

Fields of the Nephilim (sp?) or Napalm Death UQD Wayne Hussey, fugly but

I'd imagine you get a lot of fairly 'normal' BDSMers, but it just looks more stylish with the Morticia look.

Wayne hussey!!! I actually saw the Mission once as well....he used to wear a lovely white dress.

ps UQD I think it was fields of the nephilim?

now that girl, the bass player in Sisters of Mercy; she was the bollocks as far as good looking goth girls go IMO.

BDSM???

hmmm, does she take the pet thing to the extreme where she refused to pay, as she is a pet?
if so, he is well within his rights to chuck them off.
this sounds lieks some sort of sexual thing. and consenting adults are fine, but could they please do their consensual sex acts elsewhere, and not on public transport.

Its got NOTHING to do with the bloody bus driver how they choose to dress or live!!! And he has no right WHATSOEVER to dictate who gets on that bus decided simply by someones clothing or lifestyle choice!

Somehow it seems 'OK' to some people to react that way towards this young couple just because they are young and goths.

Well its not

There would be bloody uproar if he refused a young asian couple on because she was wearing a headdress or him a turban.

But people dont see discrimination the same way when it comes to young people.

calm down disenchanted. calm down.
its not something to get so het up about. the bus driver did act rather like a twunt.

She has a great body though, doesn't she?

BDSM
