Took me a while to unwrap that. Crabs is your dad complaining that you played Nintendo all night and overslept, so he has to drive you to school after you missed the bus? Did I get that right?
Context for any other Euro readers: If you miss the bus to school in the US, there won't be another one coming 10 minutes later.
Yeah that was a riddle to solve. Also if you miss the buss in the us i think the next one comes like an hour later not 10 minutes.
School Busses in particular are not recurring. You get one in the morning to school and one in the afternoon back home.
If you miss either one, you had to call your parents to come pick you up. Or find a different way such as with a friend, walking or taking the regular bus.
To add, if you miss the school bus in the morning you cant just walk over to another bus stop and take a different school bus, at least in the district i grew up. You're assigned a specific bus to ride before and after school and taking a different bus could mean detention to a full ban from riding the bus because it's "a privledge, not a right" according to the district.
I ran into issues every school year because my parents were separated with shared, joint, custody, but my school district couldnt grasp the idea of me living in two homes, in two completely different parts of the city, and needing two completely different bus routes. They kept insisting I could only have 1 home address, but I literally swapped homes every Friday so I lived in each 50% of the year.
Thats pretty fucked up. School busses 100% show how there are many layers of society who cant take private transport but we decide to ignore everyone except school kids.
