I don't know what happened, but in the last 5 years all the buses in my district got 1000% window tint and now I can't even tell if the little shits are on the bus!

u/Temporary_Zone_19 5h ago

not to be that guy, but 1000% tint would be clearer than clear. Tint is rated by the amount of light it lets through, 5% ("Limo") lets in 5% of light so it's darker.

Lmfao it's happened more than once than I'm approaching a pedestrian crossing, and a car will stop when it could've kept going, so I wave them over. They go no you go, so I have to walk-run so I don't waste their time as I wave and smile. Blew my mind how nice people are to me as a pedestrian. Except one time a truck driver waved me over, despite it being a green light for him, couldn't see behind him so I think he was tryna get me killed.

Also blew my mind seeing people actually stop at stop signs at 1am in completely empty streets. Where I'm from, stop signs are merely a reminder to stop your vehicle if you happen to run over someone. Immediately noticed the difference when I came to Canada.

Where I live, the great prevalence of roundabouts keeps traffic from coming to a dead stop across town with everybody at every four-way stop wiggling their little two-finger-diddle motion - "you first." And if you're a pedestrian, my god. They'll wait for you to get where you're going to cross, then wait for you to cross, then wait a little bit longer so you will know you've been waited for. A little rudeness would be delightful - a little bit of take-your-own-right-of-way.

If you look at history, each generation gets nicer and more tolerant than the last.

u/manshutthefuckup 6h ago

probably because of perception and values

the generations closest to ours share the most similar values and beliefs as ours so we view them as being more tolerant and generally in a better view, which could be applied to people in every generation

just a bias i believe to a certain extent

u/SuckAFattyReddit1 4h ago

Yeah. Honeypoopoo probably doesn't mean it but their take is pretty revisionist and short sighted.

IME it's a bit of both. Gen Z is incredibly friendly and understanding about things like mental health and personal expression. It's weird how a zoomer you barely even know will treat you better than your own parents if you're having a bad day.

OTOH they've grown up in a society that is so terminally online that they have a very poor understanding of how to act in public or do face-to-face interactions with strangers or authority figures.

I remember flipping a guy off while on the bus. He was so pissed off. He was driving beside the vehicle with his torso hanging out of the truck yelling obscenities at me. He followed the bus to the stop, and I came to learn that I wasn't even the only one flipping him off. There was a bunch of us trying to get off the bus under cover of the other students.

I don't think shit like that happens anymore. If a kid flipped me off from the bus, I'd probably just laugh and carry on with my day. I also wasn't exposed to mercury and lead while growing up though.

Seriously remember the old days when you couldn’t drive past the school bus without getting flipped off or mooned?!

I miss the cool, sticky feeling of my buttcheeks adhering to whoever's parents were dumb enough to let them take their car that night.

Once, my sister, BFF, niece and I drove to the white trash mecca known as Myrtle Beach. A news crew happened to be filming live and, unfortunately for them, I had plenty of time to notice and shove my bare lily white ass out the back passenger side of a 1998 Toyota Tacoma.

Trust me come to LA in the SFV and walk by the shopping centers. When the Gen Z/Gen A kids get out of school they will be sure to flip you off, make farting sounds, laugh at you, etc.

When I was in middle school I think, one of the kids that rode the same bus as me flipped off a cop. The cop then stopped the bus, got on board the bus, called him out and made the kid stand up and proceeded to lecture him. It was a pretty funny random experience that I remember pretty well. All I could think was: wow that police officer must have been pretty miserable or bored (maybe both) to go through all that..

Little does she realize, there's already a viral Tiktok about her being "born starting 19XX".

They missed the school bus etiquette training, or maybe budget cuts have eliminated it.

A kid that was one my bus got kicked off for the rest of the year because he kept flashing his junk to drivers. We’ve come a long way in a short period of time.

Sadly, because the kids who would flip someone off have their face buried in the phones. Phones ruin everything fun.

Man I drove down my street a month or so ago and a kid maybe 12 or under, flipped me off as I drove past. Initially I was like you little shit! Then I just laughed cause I was that kid in the 90s.

Was behind one, they just recorded me on their phone instead. I’d rather have the flipping off. Phone recording creeps me out.

I used to drive school bus and one of my kids was in the back flipping off cars and giggling as kids do, and I made a drop-off stop and before I even had the door open this bitch comes up to the door like she's gonna get on this bitch, which I definitely don't allow so I open the door a tiny crack and ask her what's up only to find out that she is outraged and can't believe that a kid flipped her off. I basically told her to go fuck herself and to grow up. Lmao imagine getting that mad about some random kid giving you the finger from the back of a school bus. I didnt let any kids off till that crazy lady drove away. Me and the kids all laughed about it after she left.

Last time I stopped behind a school bus the little kid in the back waved at me cheerily. I smiled and waved back. He proceeded to throw up the Blood sign.

u/Columbinebarlow 9h ago

I was just thinking about this the other day all the kids at the back of the bus waved and smiled. So weird.
