School bus stops
 
Why is it that school buses have to stop every 20 damn feet to drop kids off? Why the heck cant they make one stop and let the kids walk 100 yards to thier houses?! Nooo they have to stop traffic every 50 feet so the fat ass kids dont have to walk a couple blocks to thier houses. Drives me nuts :grins: No wonder kids are a bunch of fat asses these days

Thanks for listening i needed to vent :tooth:

Skippy, they do this so the kids don't have to walk along often busy and sidewalk-less roads.

Besides, what the hell are you doing that's do damn important you can't wait a few extra seconds?

There are times when the school bus stops and beeps the horn to signal to the kids to come out of the house.

School Bus Stops
 
Yea!, I got one that lives nextdoor. Every morning, 7:15AM. The driver had to blow that horn four or five times. The lazy ba$$tard was never ready.

That's nothing. Buses in my town have built in PA systems. The drivers yap on those things both morning and afternoon.

I really shouldn't complain though. I wouldn't want their job.

This is happening on the same street with a nice sidewalk. The bus will let one kid off, go down 5 houses and stop again. I think middle school kids can walk 5 house down! Now if whe're talking kindergarten age kids i understand it. But 13 year olds, come on now. I'm in no rush, its just annoying and makes no sense to me why they do it.
