*To Mr. Self-Righteous Hippie Dipshit: My large pickup truck may not be the SUV your bumperstickers rail against, but it gets similarly poor fuel economy. However, it doesn't belch thick, acrid black smoke into the air like your 20 year old Volvo. Something about the mote in someone else's eye whilst ignoring your own plank seems fitting here...
*To Mrs. Soccer Mom with cell phone: Hang up and drive. Or, even better, stop driving and pull off the fucking road to talk. Barring either of those, pick a speed and lane and stick with them; it makes life easier that way. Your bumpersticker proclaims that your child is an honor student; I can only surmise that it happened by your child rebelling against you rather than the passing of superior genetic material.
*To the asshole in the Lexus who blew past the school bus with its red lights on: One of these days you're going to get caught by the cops while doing this. When this happens, please get out of your car suddenly and charge the police car while reaching into your jacket. Thanks.
School's open. Please drive carefully. Or stay the fuck home.

"One of these days you're going to get caught by the cops while doing this."
Or worse - run down some kid who is crossing the street to get to the bus.
As much as school bus's irritate me when I'm driving, I recognize that there is a very good reason for that "traffic on both sides must stop for a school bus" law.
Mr. School Bus Driver: SLOW down! My kids have to walk to school, please don't run over them.
Parents who drop off their kids: READ the memo from the school on organized procedure! They didn't kill a tree for the fun of it. Don't park on the crosswalk! Yes, this means YOU too, not just everyone else!
Thanks. I feel a little better now.
I'd just be happy if the people who drive on these ridiculously skinny little roads would learn the concept of 2 way traffic...
At the very least we should be encouraged to throw rocks (about fist sized) at cars driven around a school bus picking up or dropping off.
Tar and feathering the car would be nice, too.
I'm nearing the 1/2 century mark. Drove the bus in high school.
Lost 2 pretty easy lays when they flew by my bus one day while I had the flag out and kids were unloading, Told then the next day at school,if it EVER happened again, they should hope and pray the local law got them before I DID. Other student drivers the gals actually had their eyes on told them I would have to get in line. To this day,I follow respectfully and stop Every time while those behind me pobably cuss and scream.
None of us Drivers ever naled either. One is serving a life sentence for murder and one swings from the other tree. None of us ever thought twice and felt it was their loss not ours.
