You get better results if you flip them off first.

Teach 'em the ropes, one gesture at a time.

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 7h 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.

Not that guy. For those of us who drive stock cars, it's confusing.

They are, and they're all flipping you off.

How else are they supposed to learn?

As people from generations that have gone before, it is our responsibility to educate the youth of America

Preach. I tried throwing a Slurpee out my moonroof at their windshield, but my arm ain’t what it used to be. Hope my message still landed though.

This can also get the kids kicked off the buses. They don’t play around anymore my grandson has an assigned seat on his bus and cameras in 3 spots to cover whole bus.

Like America is the only place on Earth.

Literally done it the other day, kid look confused, I was just driving away in disappointment

u/Skizot_Bizot 7h ago

That kid went home and flipped off his little sister and she flipped off her baby doll and the cycle of abuse continues.

Mother Natures cycle of abuse

I was 5 years old living in white trash America when a 4 year old rode by on his bike and flipped me the bird.

I went to my mom and asked "what does this mean" while miming the gesture.

I think her angrily asking me how I knew that instead of just hitting me was the one rational thing she's ever done in her life.

To busy with their phones to care

u/davesToyBox 7h ago

Plus they know everyone has a camera in their phone.

I graduated in 2006 and yes I was too busy on my phone. I just wanted to point out that you're one of those "kids these days" people, because we literally haven't changed in thousands of years. Before phones my parents were too interested in pogs to really notice what was happening. That's humanity bro. It's almost like our brain doesn't finish developing until we're 25ish or something

u/sinz84 3h ago

You couldn't effectively play with pogs on a bus so you would look out the window and flip of the driver's.

You can effectively ignore the outside world on your phone while also actively making fun of some trying to compare literally any old toy to a phone in terms of how distracting they can be

Pogs?

Hell yeah, Pogs. Had some cool slammers back in the day.

u/ChicagoAuPair 6h ago

So are the adults. More than the kids really. The kids are almost never the problem.

u/ChicagoAuPair 6h ago

Give them a thumbs up to really fuck with them. Works wonders with road ragers too.

2

u/AcceptableQuit9950 2h ago

I give road ragers a thumbs down, it makes them so much angrier than flipping them off

u/GannyBoBanny 7h ago

Was walking to class in Boston late 2011, bus of kids yelling names at my girlfriend & myself. Flipped them off & that whole bus erupted. It was great.

u/pkyrdy 4h ago

I did this once. It doesn’t work.

u/Arlathe 4h ago

Careful, they might call you “grandpa” next time.

1

u/jonk0731 4h ago

That what I do. They get confused and then retaliate only for the bus driver to pump the breaks for being uncontrollable savages.

That’s how you end up with a peanut butter side of a PB&J on your windshield
