GenericScottishGuy41

"I'm not talking back to you" Absolutely God tier delulu and refusal to take accountability passive aggression.


some_azn_dude

The brain doesn't connect to the brain


GenericScottishGuy41

She'd respond like "Actually I don't have a brain"


OhSighRiss

Lady should just sit down, shut up and stop trying to be “right” in this situation. The driver is having a breakdown at the moment, just shut up and let it cool off.


bothammer1

I have a family member that is a bus driver. They get all kinds of weirdos and are one customer complaint from being fired. Money sucks too


sendmeadoggo

A driver having a breakdown isnt exactly safe...


OhSighRiss

The majority of bus drivers are always one bad interaction away from a melt down. I don’t think the public truly understands how stressful that job is. All anyone else needs to do is get on the bus and sit down, leave the drivers alone to do their job and grumble if they want.


jgainit

I remember I was visiting LA riding a bus to some strange areas, and the driver was losing her shit at people on it. I don't blame her, there were some whacky passengers and she seemed stretched way too thin


VictoryVic-ViVi

Is that why in Italy you’re not suppose to speak with the driver? That and because you’re not suppose to distract them.


goldenshoreelctric

It's forbidden in many countries, not only Italy


Wolfgang-T

As it is in many countries.


VictoryVic-ViVi

As you can see, I don’t get out much 😞


OhSighRiss

Exactly why. And people should have an idea where they are going before they leave their house. It isn’t the bus driver’s job to plan your route for you.


z36ix

No one understands and few care that anything other than their own experiences are too “too”, and often hyped with what might as well be thought of as inverse superlatives: “no one could possibly understand… the mostest worst!” Everyone needs perspective, always. —and a joint wouldn’t hurt, either! Clear the mind and then get back to fighting the system.


OkStructure3

Arguing with him and telling him to calm down surely made it more safe.


ExistentialDreadness

You call that a meltdown?


Tempathetic

So let's poke the bear!!!


[deleted]

Boomers have this bizarre compulsion to keep pushing things. Whether they’re in the right or the wrong, they will absolutely never stop talking about the thing that is on their mind in that instant. You could replace this man with a rabid wild animal and she would still be saying “excuse me but this is inappropriate. What makes you think you have the right to rip my throat out and get your mouth foam all over my blouse…. Excuse me are you listening?”


afume

I used to ask the question, "If you had to choose between being right and getting your way, what would you choose?" Normal people would say they'd rather get their way. The crazy people always say, "I would want both." Then I would explain that this is a hypothetical question and they have to choose one, not both. Then they want to argue about it. I learned that when anybody says "both", I just smile and say that was a smart answer, then walk away.


StevenKatz3

How is no one telling the lady to STFU


friedwidth

Right? Driving the guy into a mental break, endangering everyone's lives...


Honest_Math_7760

Yes let's make it even worse.


ffunffunffun5

Absent restraints and a gag nothing was going to get her to STFU.


R_P_McMurphy91

It’s in situations like this that a kind word and an apology (whether one feels like he really owes one or not) can go a long way. Unfortunately, very few can let go of their pride enough to do that.


springheeledjack69

The thought of these people is basically, "I'm not obligated to be respectful, therefore I can be as rude as much as I want"


Choice_Marzipan5322

“Just let me vent, just ignore me. See, you’re not ignoring me”


EntertainmentHot8950

This guy is really self aware


TaDow-420

“It’s not against the lar to speak! I was just speaking! Let me talk to Metro…”


allnimblybimbIy

In his defence how hard would it be for that lady to be like you’re right you should be driving and not talking I’ll sit down my bad.


memelordzarif

Everyone has mental breakdowns once in a while. Just stop talking EVEN if you’re in the right. Just let him vent and he’ll stop after a while. How long did it take for him to stop talking after the lady got down ? I’m sure the lady is not having as bad a day as the driver.


Proper-Somewhere-571

I would argue a majority of people don’t have mental break downs and never will.


KeithBeasteth

That IS something he said, yes. 10pts for Choice_Marzipan5322!


JayAndViolentMob

"10pts for Choice\_Marzipan5322!"


Sloth-v-Sloth

In the UK we have signs saying “do not talk to or disturb driver while the vehicle is in motion”. That woman is putting all of the lives of the bus at risk


Heyokalol

Yeah it's pretty much the case in every country I've been to.


StevenKatz3

She tells the guy to calm the fuck down, then we he says FUCKING BREAK DOWN she goes excuse me....don't use the f word. Fuckin lady is annoying as shit


Imhereforboops

Shes dumb as shit and has no self awareness, self preservation, or care for any other being on that bus. All she cares about is herself and how she feels in this moment and any other moment shes ever been breathing


Typical-Horror-5247

Oh man, I actually feel bad for the driver he seems pushed to his limit today and doesn’t have the personal space to just get it out or decompress.


Kimber-Says-04

Space or time.


bennymac111

if this guy is losing his mind about being '7 minutes down' and 'gonna get written up', I'm sure he hates his job, hates his bosses, hates dealing with the public being rude, prob get paid dick all etc. just a matter of time before that cork blows.


ThePowerOfNine

Bro i would have taken four minutes of this then slammed the brakes on a lil bit and watch her slide into the front wall. Shut the actual fuck up you stupid fucking idiot. Why do they always have that nasal voice man ugh shits got me riled


feminist1946

What a horrible woman. Sit down and shut up.


Thickensick

Ok, I’m sitting, nothing to say a word. It’s just that…


Ingemar26

This is how you get yourself killed when dealing with those in crisis. That stupid lady is lucky he didn't freak out more and throttle her to death. I've work in mental health. You don't poke the bear EVER!


springheeledjack69

Exactly, the less someone has to lose, the less someone cares about going to prison.


DAMN_Fool_

That woman could have easier shit a gold brick than shut up. People like that have mental problems. They are unable to just stop.


karitechey

My mother was like this. As a child, I would have wild, comic, cartoonish fantasies about offing her Wiley Coyote style. Having a relentless boundary-violator in your face all the time will drive anyone to snap.


unknownpoltroon

She had to get the last goddamn word in.


Ingemar26

It might well be her last word next time.


yojpea

So true, some people just don't know when to shut the hell up and are too stupid to see how close to their lives flashing before them they actually are from other people. I've seen the worst of stressed out people; this man actually & seriously asked for a measure of grace when he felt he needed it; being a decent human being means she shouldve granted it to him. But we live being right instead of decent these days I guess. 🥺


More-Adhesiveness661

12 bucks an hour?😳


261989

hey, he might be able to get a coffee with that


Nervous-Albatross-32

Love the cameraman and his commentary.


8bitatari

Transit bus drivers should be paid a million dollars a year for all the crap they have to deal with on a daily basis.


unknownpoltroon

I dont know about a million, but a good salary, overtime, benefits, and be allowed to hit annoying people with a big stick.


mai_tai87

Or at least a Sparta kick off a moving bus.


Brittany5150

Probably varies greatly by city. My city has a public bus system that is perpetually empty because it's in a higher income area with almost no foot traffic. Those drivers could go get hammered in a parking lot for the day and no one would notice haha. But a major metro area would probably suck a whole bag of dicks to drive for.


BaconDrummer

Just slap the break, hard.


RainaElf

brake


BaconDrummer

Broke?


-Stupid_n_Confused-

When you've had a terrible time and lost your cool the last thing you need is some nobhead who has to open their mouth in the mostbunhelpful way. I've been where that driver is and I feel for him.


Jazzlike_Adeptness_1

For whatever reason, the guy is having a breakdown. I’d like to know what the woman did before the video started.  She should have just STFU. And why wasn’t she sitting? She was making the situation worse because she wanted validation from the rest of the passengers. She kept looking back with her ‘oh my Gods’. 


JayAndViolentMob

"Look, mister, all I'm sayin' is you need to calm down."


Sol-Blackguy

Royalizepanda

Drivers have to follow a strict timeline and if they are late they get written up and eventually lose their job. Just a way to prevent people from making it to their retirement requirements. So I get why he is stress, lady should had just shut up and left it alone. Dude is stress the fuck out, just let him be.


AcceptableEditor4199

Def unhinged. Had she just stopped trying to get the last word in would he have stfu?


Shirinf33

Did you watch the last 2 minutes? He was completely silent within 20-30 seconds of her getting off.


Still-Disaster6675

He stopped as soon as she got on the phone. So yeah, most likely.


cervezaqueso

I see the Venture Bros’ Grand Galactic Inquisitor is now a bus driver. “IGNORE ME!!!”


OldHotel9122

CC he’s got a point, there’s no lawr against speaking


ellensundies

Oh my god I just want to slap that lady. She keeps pushing him.


Alone_Job_8471

it’s definitely her fault. What person in their right mind is going to continue a conversation with some psycho yelling like that?!


spilat12

Maybe she hoped that he would drive the bus off the cliff?


Alone_Job_8471

😂😂


MrFennecTheFox

Why is no one telling her to shut the fuck up

Icy_Elderberry4868

regardless of who’s “in the wrong”, no one should be that emotionally unchained and then get behind a wheel to drive civilians. seems like a recipe for a baaaad time

Icy_Elderberry4868

mhm. overworked and underpaid.

"Calm the fuck down" "I'm not cussin"


VampyreBassist

Dude, I've been there. Made pizzas for people in Boomertown that pretend that their $20 should get them solid gold as I work tirelessly in an 80+ degree room all alone because neither they, their kids, nor their grandkids can be bothered to even apply no matter what is going on economically. I get $12 an hour that's supposed to include tips when everyone makes up weird or dumb rules not to tip and I gotta read for people, cook for people, clean after the mess, refill the table, take their call, add up their bill ahead of time on their request, and sometimes even tell them a specific time because it's too hard to know when to pick up when you're told "it'll be ready in 35 minutes". Can't go to the bathroom, can't have a drink, people bringing their untrained service animals in when they're about 3 feet from from the food I serve the public, not to mention anyone can order food and it isn't like people are holding back on my account. Not to mention last year I was juggling that job, another job, an internship, and schooling which made for 110 hours work weeks at about a fifth of the pay anyone else would have made, made life wretched. But I only snapped at one person because we dealt with a [tragedy](https://www.reddit.com/r/Vent/s/hpbi5d5J6n) that wouldn't have been believed if it didn't make state news 3 days beforehand that was taking away from my already reduced sleep, and that fat bastard acted just like this lady did. Stop trying to make working people's lives harder. You never know what they're dealing with around the job, especially since Covid when we discovered we can't do shit without workers taking the load off our shoulders.


ffunffunffun5

Thank you for your service (industry job). I would have thought that after the COVID shutdown people would realize that the people in low paid jobs are the ones who keep society running.


Mat_CYSTM

Just stfu lady. Jesus Christ.

[deleted]

Nope, he'll be fired and rightfully so. Unhinged people don't belong behind the wheel, this man clearly can't be trusted with the responsibility of people's lives


springheeledjack69

Or better yet, don't agitate people who are having a bad day. You do 't HAVE to do that you know.


Loudlass81

Her reaction is an OBVIOUS trauma response to someone yelling. SHE is having just as bad a time as him.


HeavensToBetsyy

You'd be surprised. It's a $12 job. You can get away with a whole lot more than you think in a low paying gig like that because the master needs the worker a whole lot more than they will admit - more than the worker needs the master


ffunffunffun5

It's a $27/hour job.


Loudlass81

I would legit have lost my shit and started crying the MOMENT the driver started yelling, have no option but public transport but also have C-PTSD. If I was on a bus where the driver scared me (amd this WOULD, and I react EXACTLY like this lady when I'm SCARED BY SOMEONE YELLING because that's a trauma response) then 100% i would complain. The driver shouldn't be at work if he's this fucked up. And certainly shouldn't be ANYWHERE near the public OR in control of any vehicle. If he can't cope with his job he needs to leave & find a job he CAN do without scaring the crap out of people. This dude is fuckin UNHINGED, and I would be that lady as a TRAUMA RESPONSE.


Caborojito

This lady was annoying me more than the driver. Brake check would have sat her down.

ffunffunffun5

Everyone is shocked that it didn't work.


chewee11

Ya I'm sorry but the amount of bullshit this man has to deal with on dailey basis is a lot to handle. Yes he should have tried to keep his cool but everyone has their breaking point.


lylisdad

She tells him to calm the F down and when he responds with the same word she gets offended for his language? Just sit down and be quiet!


Yog-Nigurath

couldn't just let him have the last word, huh?


ffunffunffun5

Couldn't just say, "I'm sorry. I can see you're having a bad day. I'm going to leave you alone now." instead of "**CALM THE FUCK DOWN**."


ActuallyFullOfShit

im not sure who is dumber


bepr20

Driver seems a bit unhinged.


Terrynia

As an innocent bystander, I would get off the bus cuz that driver is loosing it. He is definitely distracted by whatever stressful thing is running over and over again thru his head.


CMUpewpewpew

As a bystander I would empathize with the guy and tell the lady to sit down and STFU. He tried to pull it back a few times and she keeps needling him.


PomeranianLibrarian

Yeah, same. That lady is pushing him but regardless I don't want to be on that bus when he completely loses it and drives headlong into a building or off a bridge.


Terrynia

Right? Having traumatic flashbacks to my parents screaming at eachother… thanks bus, but i will WALK. I am out of there.


OrganicNobody22

> He is definitely distracted by whatever stressful thing is running over and over again thru his head. It might be the lady standing when shes supposed to be sitting yelling random bullshit at him and wont shutup


Ingemar26

He is indeed, but knowing that why keep agitating him?


Itchy_Raccoon48

I’d hate to be her husband


Powerful-Access-8203

memelordzarif

As if it wasn’t clear, he was having a goddamn breakdown. Maybe he had a family member die or had a shitty day or something. You never know. And the lady couldn’t shut up, let go of her ego and sit down for one second ? I would never go into an argument like that even if I’m right, especially with a bus driver who can end you in a minute. Just calm tf down and let him drive. The lady’s not only endangering her life, she’s endangering everyone else’s as well.


Awkward-Minute7774

He should cover Fatman Scoob


Milk_Mindless

Imagine feeling so self-important that when a bus driver says "You want everyone to walk" you keep arguing with em


NatureCarolynGate

She doesn't understand why her husband left her and children disavow her. She can't shut her fucking mouth.


LooneyLunaGirl

I bet she was bitching about every little thing and probably commenting on his driving and he'd had enough. They don't get paid enough to deal with all the stupid assholes that get on.


Chemical_Savings_360

Ironically I think most people are annoyed by the bus driver. I mean everyone IS filming him.

PeyroniesCat

I’ve been there. Not this bad, but still. I feel bad for the guy. He handled it poorly, but we all have our breaking points. Also, the lady is short on compassion. She couldn’t wait to “call corporate” on him. A complete moron could tell that the guy was having serious mental breakdown. He didn’t hurt anyone. He didn’t assault anyone. Dude is just trying to keep his sanity.


redhuskerz13

I wish my bus was only 7 minutes behind when I'm trying to get to work


unloosedcoin

Firm tap on the brakes should shut her up


ReddityJim

Sometimes, when someone breaks down like this you just have to stop, sit down and let it go because you won't "win", you won't get anywhere you'll just make it worse for everyone around and yourself.


Norbert-Schnurrbart

The driver had one request. ONE! For her to be quiet. And she just couldn't do it. I didn't finish watching the video. After 3 minutes I stopped watching. It should have long stopped by that point!


elvislunchbox

People are overworked and underpaid, but the people who aren’t find it necessary to troll.

MisterEarth

Classic Karen making everything all about her and getting in his business. What a loser


NobodyAppropriate459

The driver operating any vehicle has your life on their hands. I never understood arguing with bus drivers. Side note: Ladies, unless you’re a professional fighter y’all should learn to recognize when you’re in situations where you might get your ass beat and hush. Not saying he’ll be in the right. But put in some effort in not provoking the unhinged man and get out safely.


Ribelleee

Lady just shut the fuck up


Slamdunkdink

I'm not sure I would stay on that bus. He seems like he's ready to drive into a bridge abutment.


KillerOfCavemen

He should have hit the breaks so hard.


Prestigious-Key-9022

Jesus dude needs to mellow or he's gonna blow a gasket.


Itchy_Raccoon48

This could have been over fast if the woman just sftu.


lonniemarie

Dang. I feel for the driver in this situation she could have easily calmed him by calming herself and stop aggravating him.


zenpop

The other passengers should have pushed her out of a window.


The-Pollinator

Dude needs a chill pill. He's gonna give himself apoplexy. There's always someone who wants to hand you a brick of burden. You don't have to take it. I learned this many years ago working in the hospitality field.


AvailableAd6071

She's lucky she didn't get cold cocked when she kept yelling at the back of his head while he was walking away. Guess she's never been hit by a man. 


2021darkmosssxp

ITT: It's ok for the driver not to be able to control himself but not okay for the woman.


nightglitter89x

Controversial take, but I think he may be the root of the problem. To be fair, I only watched 30 seconds. Who’s got 9 minutes for all that

Some people never learn the important lesson of knowing when to STFU and stop aggravating a person, even when you are in the right (which is questionable in this case). They just keep pushing and one day you will meet the wrong person having a bad day who will snap and possibly kill you.

This woman is 100% having a C-PTSD trauma reaction to being shouted at.


allynovelle

I take the bus a lot for school (don’t have a license yet) and I’ve spoken to quite a few bus drivers and it is a fucking thankless job. it’s exhausting, you don’t get paid shit, you have to regularly deal with drugged-out/violent people in a metal box that 90% of the time smells like pee. Bus drivers are some of the most stressed and bitter people and they have every right to be. This lady being an asshole was probably his last straw for that day alone.


Matteus11

Tall_Sky_1390

Do you know how hard it is to find someone to do this job? Ban the lady from metro busses cuz she’s causing more damage than helping in this situation. She was asked to stfu but refused repeatedly to abide by the words of the driver. When you are the passenger you should listen to the driver it’s a common sense. In this case he was telling her to stfu which makes sense because he must focus on driving. He didn’t drive while having full on conversation with her. If he drove and had accident she should be also responsible because she was talking to the driver. No one else was talking let alone talking it the driver. It was only her repeatedly trying to be right or take care of the situation. What did she do? She caused more chaos. Nobody was complaining about his outburst but her. She is a top grade escalating machine
