Relatable. Obviously completely unacceptable behavior. Yet relatable.

Not an appropriate reaction by the driver, but have you met children?

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Queenslander childen are next-level.

If I say the Queen protected her pedo son and his cronies, does that count as Queenslander?

[–] GrimSheeper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No, that's just you Queenreporting on the Queenfacts

They're now afraid to get on a bus, she said.

Ok

[–] gnuplusmatt@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, we don't even use the yellow school buses like north america. None of the media attached to this story is even Australian

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heathens. It's like you're on the other side of the world or something.

[–] WTFBBQ@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

There’s plenty of yellow school buses in South Australian regional towns.

They get serviced at a facility in northern Adelaide.

When I was a kid if this happened to me I would also be afraid to get on the bus. All the buses going to other places would conveniently be perfectly fine though. Just the school bus would be a problem.

I guess they couldn’t find any stock footage of an Aussie school bus. They did manage to find footage of a US school bus driving on the wrong side of the road though.

The children were devoured by saltwater crocodiles, venomous spiders, and Drop Bears within minutes.

[–] cnutfeelmylegs@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

No, just Ashgrove and Sunnybank people.

Brisbane people can be feral.

[–] Glowstick@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's messed up ...but also kinda funny

Mostly messed up because he dumped all the kids, some as young as 5 to walk around on roads without sidewalks and such.

Our school bus drivers threw four kids off once without any real consequence. They ended up walking to school. But they were 14 and were laughing at the driver while vandalizing the bus.

Glad they fired the driver. Also, I was once a shithead on a bus, so I understand why someone might get fed up.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

I mean... I don't blame the guy.

[–] djsaskdja@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I get it tbh.
