This goes out to all you Metro Transit drivers who are convinced that since they drive the buses, they and their friends are exempt from the posted rules on the bus. If I can’t bring my non travel mug cup of coffee on the bus, and you make me throw it out, then you and your friends aren’t allowed to do it either. Everytime I see a bus driver with a non travel mug coffee, I will take pictures/video and send it to metro transit as part of a complaint. Hopefully, your asses will get fired. —Sick of double standards

They’ll be too busy laughing at your ridiculous complaint. What a maroon. Another SET.
If collective bargaining can’t keep workers from having to drink their Nutella-52s from a crappy plastic mug, then Harper and his gang of Yankee pod-people have already won.
*sigh*. They are not going to get fired. Take your head out of your ass.
do they have a stable cup holder up there at the front?
can no one sit beside them to get splashed?
Drivers actually have friends???
and why, pray tell, does OP consider this a double standard?
you are the rider. he is the driver. you are not the same thing. you can shut your eyes during the trip. should he consider it a double standard that he cannot?
do you want to sit in a stroller up at the front like the babies do? go wave a placard shouting double standard ’cause you can’t. wah.
I dare you to take a picture of the driver and post it online I’m sure that you will get contacted by HRP very quickly and asked why you took and are posting someone picture without their written consent. So go ahead and make sure when you submit the picture to use your real name and address OP.
Um. The drivers have cup holders and have a stable seat with no one beside them. I don’t think it’s a violation of any kind for them.
Gawd, is your life really that pathetic, OB, that you’d a) get mad over this shit and b) try and fuck with someone’s livelihood over a cup of coffee (that they are probably allowed to have, anyway)?
I’d suggest you go fuck your own asshole, but your head is too far up it, already.
you are ravishing in yellow
Heh, we’re allowed to have a regular coffee cup since we do have a cup holder. It’s been stated by management since people have already kicked up a stink about it on twitter. We’re not the ones standing in the back of the bus with a cup that you can easily spill on another person.
I am stealing that line pk. shamelessly.
Too funny PK…you give it a whole new meaning…LMAO
Dummy. PASSENGERS aren’t allowed. You’re on the bus for, what, 1 hour. MAX? These guys are on the bus for MINIMUM 6 hours. Usually about double that. And almost always dealing with retarded nonsense from self-righteous people like you who talk a lot and think very little.
Grow up.
Suck a bag of dicks, OB. To completion!!!!
I usually use every MT bitch as an opportunity to call Wheels a douchebag but, this time let the little putz have his cup of coffee. It likely the one thing keeping him from going loco and clubbing a stuffed seal.
if i had to drive a metro bus, there would be blood
You should have signed off as “Sick of double double standards”
Did a fat-road-bastard make you throw out your coffee that was in a non-travel mug? More than once? Why would you even try to take such a thing on a bus a second/third/fourth/fifth time only to be told you cannot take the fucking shit on the bus?
Do you ride the people carrier regularly? If so, purchase a TRAVEL MUG and slurp your pizz in peace ….. nobody wil care … not even the hemmorhoid packing operator of the mobile shit-shack …….. do you think these folks were birthed to become bus drivers? No, life failed them but the road test offered a pass and voila, a transit operator is born!
That is what I was thinking Koda, buy a travel mug. You get 10 cents off your coffee at Tims and probably other coffee shops and you can take it on the bus. Too easy.
Travel mugs make coffee taste gross. The plastic ones cause cancer and probably so do the aluminum ones. I bought one of those silver ones (aluminum, tin?) and the thing turned all rusty inside after a few months. GROSS – drinking rust dust can’t be good for you. I know aluminum causes dementia. Explain’s a lot. It’s like using spray deodorant. It works really good, but you breath in all the aluminum mist and it makes you into a demented dum-dumb. Fuckin’ bus drivers can sit there comfy as shit with their big window, breeze blowing through their hair and sip their double doubles. Meanwhile, a bitch is in da back sweatin’, fightin’ heat exhaustion and was made to throw out her cold pop!
Then get a ceremic one, fool ^^^ Though, i suppose there’s some nonsense conspiracy theory about regular ol ceremic mugs you can regail us [waste our time] with.
Thanks, breadlady <3 The dentist was traumatic and my face bones are sore as heck, but it's 110% better than tooth pain!!!
Invest in a sombrero and try this?

Double Down: A bus is *public* transit, and therefore a public place, which means you have next to zero expectation of privacy. Just thought I’d point that out.
pk, now is the time to try out ivans suggestion of nuking nutella and drinking it from a straw!
Pretty kitty – I see the dementia has set in already.
What is the difference between a travel mug & a take-out cup? They are both cups, with removable lids, with a hole at the top. DUH!
The travel mugs have screw tops or tops with suction, idiot.
I can take my travel mug and shake it to mix the milk up or turn it upside down or throw it in my bag and get this: IT DOESN’T SPILL HOT COFFEE OVER ME OR ANYONE ELSE.
‘magine that.
PS: I’m enjoying a frappuccino AND an ice cap today, Molly! First time without any pain in a while!!!
Fuck No Fool, everything causes cancer, so what. Live or die with it. If I worried about every stupid story about this can kill you or that will kill you or Company A is out to kill you and so is Company B (minus the bugle boy), they may as well dress me in a straightjacket and put me in a rubber room. Shit, I have a better chance of dying in a traffic accident. I will eat, drink, smoke what I want, use as much fuel as I want or anything else and if I die at 52 or 102, so fucking what. I enjoyed life as Mr Anka wrote, My Way.
Ceramic mugs aren’t litter when they’re left behind. They’re lost and found.
Nobody leaves that shit behind on purpose.
Didn’t cha know, batshit: according to no[a] fool, litter causes cancer and is a scam made up by the garbage industry to make us all sick and crazy so we end up in institutions.
Or something.
According to The Bible, JC managed to go 40 days in the desert without food or water, some putzes on here can’t make it all the way from Slackville without an iced, mocha, rat piss, double cum juice arseachino?
litter does cause cancer, especially plastic & styrophome food containers heated in the microwave, dummy
Get out of my fucking office op.
Mahou Shoujo Orgasmatron-chan: Just because you are in public doesn’t mean you can take someones picture without their consent. I know this first hand as I was video taped when by someone when I got stuck in the snow a few years ago, the police office informed the person video taping me that they had to delete the video or face charges.
