Dear teenage girls on the bus from Joe Howe Drive; redhead and a blonde, you looked like burgeoning hipsters. You were being loud and silly and carrying on. I was the woman in the leather jacket who lost my patience and tersely told you to cool it; this was the public bus, not the school bus.

Look guys, I know you were just being 16. I’m sorry. I worked all day and I was a bitch because I skipped lunch. Part of me is jealous of the vibrancy of your youth, but part of it was that you were in fact being totally fucking annoying. But next time, I’ll just let you be young in the springtime. —10 Years Since Grade 10

  1. Good god it’ll be 10 years for me since grade 10 next year.. feck..
    They are annoying though, I dunno if it’s because of the noise of the bus engine but people talk really loud on the bus.

  2. Tommy, you’re ancient! Have any grey hairs :)?

    Fucking bus skeeze. There were some awful children on my bus on Joseph Howe last week also. They just want the attention their mothers aren’t giving them.

  3. Yes…because public transport is just for you, OB. I would think that policing the bus losers would be the drivers job, not yours.

  4. clam up harper…
    for every person that says something on the bus to annoying, drivel-spewing, loud, obnoxious teens….there are 10 more who don’t but should.
    If the bus is for everyone, then everyone should be at the same volume… FUCKING QUIET,

  5. lol @ clam up! You got told Steve!

    Some stupid girl tried to tell me I had a grey hair in my beard the other day Mel, but I think she’s just blind and stupid. It’ll happen to you too ya little whipper snapper.

  6. Beard??? When did YOU start shaving, tommy m’boy? (*sniff*…ah man! They grow up so damned fast…*sniff*)

    “The cat’s in the cradle with a silver spoon,
    Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon….”

    Bahhhhh! WTF, TJ! Yer still a pup. Yer still wet behind the ears. Yer still shittin’ yellow, ffs!
    Grey hair in your beard, indeed! That’s just peach fuzz that hasn’t changed colour yet. lol

  7. sometimes, you just wanna bust heads o.p., but it would be a waste of time. because they wouldn’t feel it, or know it happened to them. just too into themselves.

  8. you’re forgiven…
    slash is finally coming to town and even I can’t be pissed for the rest of today…
    WOOT!

  9. I’d also like to mention that it was last year around this time… when metallica was set to come here, I mentioned all I needed to see after was slash….
    is someone tapping my phones and spying on me?
    cause if so, KEEP IT UP.

    concert promotion round here, being right up my alley, is a glimmer of hope for this place…

  10. even adults can be obnoxious like that on a bus. i’ve seen multiple adults be so loud the bus driver has asked them to get off or other passengers tell them to shut up

  11. Mister Meaty’s vocabulary seems to be improving each and every day. Maybe soon he can string together whole sentences.
    Teenage girls. What can you say? Well, teenagers in general, can’t live with them and can’t live with them.

  12. Stupid girl? She sounds lovely and you’re in denial. That’s quite common with men your age though, don’t worry. My old days will come but not before yours!
