I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I need to get this off my chest. School bus came early, and I was not there to get my child as the bus is usually late. There were vehicles which stopped for the bus, which waited for under 1 minute, then just passed the school bus all one after the other while bus was flashing and stop sign was out.

When I got my child, the bus driver was smiling and didn't say a thing about vehicles passing it. I'm sure they are used to it.

Nothing can be done. I'm just venting. I found out because a witness told me, so I checked the camera to see what happened.

So annoyed people are so impatient that they can't stop for a school bus beyond 10 seconds.

How do you know it was under one minute if you weren't there? I can't help but think you feel guilty about being late and are externalizing that by trying to point out things other people did wrong. If I'm sitting behind a stopped bus for over a minute with no activity on or off, you can guarantee I will carefully proceed at some point soon.

Then you would be commiting a misdemeanor crime because you couldn't wait 2 minutes. If you then hit someone it becomes a felony! I'm sure they'll understand that those 2 minutes were very important to you though

Only it you are in some countries. A bus can be passed when she is not moving. Outside centre zones a normal bus has to flash lighs and start moving to have the right. You must stop when the 2 are shown. Only 1 no problem drive on. A schoolbus is the same and for the children. The helper on the bus needs to get out to help the ones who need to cross the streets safely.
