i've noticed something on my morning drive lately...
depending on what time i leave in the mornings, i get stuck behind a few school buses here & there on my commute...sometimes, i'm only trapped for a stop or 2...sometimes, i have to ride behind a bus for what seems like their entire route
& i've discovered something...
kids are slow & disrespectful these days!
now, don't get me wrong...i totally get that on cold/wet mornings, you want your mom or dad out at the stop with you - letting you hang out in their warm vehicle until the bus arrives...i'm not talking about those situations...i'm also not talking about kindergartners or even elementary school kids for that matter!
i'm talking about a beautiful 50-65 degree morning...not a cloud in the sky...the birds are chirping & the sun is shining
i'm talking about middle schoolers & high schoolers...kids old enough to have a stinking job for goodness sake!
i sit behind the school bus some mornings & witness said teenager, waiting until the bus has shown up at their stop...it has to come to a complete stop outside their house...lights flashing, stop sign out so that traffic coming both ways knows to stop & wait for children to board
THEN, at that moment (& not a minute earlier - i mean that bus has to be sitting & waiting dammit!), said teenager will emerge from their home...they will nonchalantly make their way down their front steps...cooly stroll across their front yard...maybe adjust their backpack, or take their time zipping up their jacket in the process...then stop at the edge of the road & look up at the bus driver to make sure they've got the go ahead to cross...then s. l. o. w. l. y. they'll make their way across the road...taking their time to make sure all eyes are on them...maybe even eyeball a commuter or 2 as if to say, "you in a hurry dude? tough bro. cause i'm not."
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
does anyone else want to slap today's youth sometimes?!
i mean seriously, what the hell is the hold up?! if i had pulled some shit like that when i rode the bus back in the day, one of 2 things would have happened...
1 - my mom woulda slapped the snot outta me for being so slow & disrespectful of others' time!
or
2 - my bus driver would said screw this & pulled off, leaving my slow & disrespectful ass at the bus stop!
seriously, what's up with kids today?!
if it isn't the clothes (or lack there of)...or the attitude...or the constant freaking texting!!! it's just blatant laziness & disrespect!
ugh.
ok, thx for listening...i'm done...i'll go lay down now...& when i get up from my nap, i'll watch Wheel of Fortune* with the volume turned up really loud...then i'll drink some Metamucil before my dinner time at 4:30pm...cause yeah, i get it - i guess i'm turning into an old fart! ~lol~
*don't laugh - i really watch that in the evenings sometimes...now that the only channel we get is NBC! ~lol~

I completely agree!!
I know, right?? It makes me nuts!
careful, with that old fart stuff, some people resemble that remark.
LOL! I watch Wheel of Fortune every day! I'm 33. It's habit. It was always on when I was a kid at dinner time, so I guess you could say it's a tradition.
Damn kids on my lawn ;)
