There are SO many parents like this, it is unreal! I work in healthcare, at the front desk, and these moms and dads who bring these kids in....and the demands and expectations they have...just no words.
I drove school buses for eleven years and agree 100%. One year, a parent gave me such a hard time I switched routes halfway through the school year. That parent went on to write my supervisor a three page manifesto complaining about me.
I heard of one parent who actually expected the bus driver to go into the house, wake kid up and get him dressed and ready for school while parent stayed sleeping. That is so ridiculous!
I am absolutely in shock at what people have asked you to do!! That is so crazy! I am so sorry, but thank you for driving all those kids to and from school! God bless you!
My grade school bus driver was like this lady. On the ride home, if too many kids were running around, getting out of their seats. She would pull over, take out her newspaper and start reading it and delay the ride home. "You want to run around? This is what I do." That settled down the bus real quick.
School bus drivers, just like public transit operators, are not chauffeurs. You the passenger have to wait at a certain station at a certain time or else you risk missing the bus! And it’s not the driver’s fault that you or your kid did not show up on time, or at all!
I want compliment the clever writers of those fictional requests and responses. I want to, because I'd love to believe they are all made up for comedy. But I can't, because I know for a fact that they are all 100% real. I've been in meetings... I've heard things...
Which is very true. Our schools regularly kick problem children off the buses and the parents have to get them to school. The principals and school superintendent don't play games
I was a school bus driver for 33 wonderful years. Our Transportation Supervisor told us that it was a privilege and not a right to ride the bus. And most times if I wrote up a student for misbehaving, he or she was given bus suspension.
My high school (10, 11, and 12th grade) bus driver Mr. Hernandez would tell us that all the time. Not only was he our bus driver, he was the freshman biology teacher as well. Hats off to him. 💯💐
I'm a retired school bus driver. I had one entitled Mom who was upset and complained that her kids were always the last ones off the bus (hence had the longest ride). She wanted HER kids let off first. I explained that her stop is furthest from the school, which is why her kids were last. She also DEMANDED that I get a bus with A/C because it was so hot. "Ma'am, NONE of our buses have A/C!" She demanded my supervisor's phone number (which I gladly gave her!) so she could call and FORCE them to get a bus with A/C! I said- "Ma'am, if you can make them get me a bus with A/C, I will be ETERNALLY grateful!" That was the last time her kids ever showed up!
I loved my middle school bus driver. Most students didn't, she was strict and didn't play the radio. Except when she dropped off the kids at the stop before mine, the radio came on and we all got up to put the windows up for her. Shout out to Mrs. Martin from DeLand Middle!
We had a wonderful school bus driver when my children were in elementary school. She did the same thing, having the last kids help with the windows. At the end of the school year, she would spritz each window with window cleaner and the kids wiped them down. She knew every child on her route and some of the parents as well. Gave treats and if the kids got to rowdy on the way home, she'd stop the bus and wait until they calmed down. We were sad when she left for a better paying job at the end of the year...
I have one I'm dealing with right now: middle school student, said he lost his "very expensive" watch on the bus one afternoon, mother says she "knows there are cameras on the bus", and wants *me* to review the footage to see what happened to the watch. Ma'am. First, I don't have access to the footage. I have to submit a request to school administration, to request it from transportation department, and then the route supervisor sends it to the school administrator, who then reviews it. I told her I would submit the request form for her, but the real question is _why on earth did you buy a "very expensive" watch for a twelve year old, and then let him wear it to school?_
@@KiraBKADestroyerOfWorlds I had a student say they lost their phone on the bus on the morning run. Dispatch radioed in and I told them no phone on the bus. As you can imagine that was not an acceptable answer. So the student gets on the bus in the afternoon mad because we didn't find his phone. Halfway through the run he goes through his backpack and "Oh look my phone" .Needless to say not an apology to be heard.
I had a similar situation on my bus a few years ago. A kid had a very expensive pair of "ear buds" go missing (only discovered they were gone when the kid got home). Mom comes to the bus in the morning, FURIOUS! "MY SON'S EAR BUDS WERE STOLEN!!" I told Mom the same thing as you, our policy is the same. Kid wasn't even sure which DAY they went missing. I asked the kid who took them. "Nobody took them FROM me, they're just GONE." I got on the bus radio, gave "co-boss" a "heads up" that a psycho Karen was about to phone her and give her a 20 hour "homework assignment". The seats on the bus are tall, the camera may not even have picked it up! "Finders keepers, losers weepers."
Holy crap... This blew my mind. It is truly eye opening how some parents had the balls to even think of asking for what they did. They are the parents and should have the common sense to have everything in order for their child.
In middle school, my bus driver was the best. He loved jokes, and loved our stories. But disrespect him, and the whole bus turns against you. Never diss a well-beloved member of the community.
school bus drivers dont get paid enough to deal with the behavior of these kids, and the behavior of the parents of these kids who are too stupid to parent
Aussie here. Love this lady! She is a legend among school busdrivers. I think she deserves a mention in the busdriver hall of fame. You go girl! Definitely of the same ilk as my late Dad who drove our school bus ( including carting all 6 of his own kids) for 22 years. He brooked no nonsense from either the kids (including us) or their parents and was well loved and respected for it. My youngest brother has taken over the role for the past 22 years.
The last year I rode a bus before I got a car. The driver, a really laid back lady, went off like Vesuvius at the Middle School kids and had the High School Dean and Security come aboard. Needless to say some butts were kicked and names taken. As well as a couple of them taken off the bus.
Thank you for the push back, not only for school bus drivers, but all public service individuals that have to deal with rude, irresponsible, clueless parents.
I drove bus for only two years (they let two of us go, then asked us a month later if we wanted our job back) and I was driving the kids home during a really bad snow storm. I had a parent complain that I was late dropping their child off.... Ma'am... I can only drive a bus so fast during a snow storm in order to make sure we are all safe... I hated driving in winter...
My response to, "can't you just wait 2 minutes until s/he comes out?" Was always, "I have 20 stops on this route, if I waited even a minute at each stop, we'd be 20 minutes late for school! Not happening, get your kids to the stop ON TIME, or better yet, a few minutes BEFORE their stop time.
Same with transit driving. Passenger has the schedule. Be at the stop on time or early for the bus. Growling at me as a driver for keeping to schedule is going to do nothing.
My dad, a LOT of uncles, aunts, a grandmother were bus drivers were in the 50’s, 60’s and if kids misbehaved, fought, said a curse word were removed from bus from where they were and they walked the rest of the way home. Those were the rules. They usually only did it once!
I did have a parent repeatedly ask me to keep his 4th grader after school on early dismissal days until he got off work at 5pm..years later my friend was a Community College student coordinator and the same dad asked her to find his son a "wife" because that's how they did it in his old country.
My answer to that request would have been “Sure. I charge $120 up to hour, and a minute past an hour is another $120.” I require an up front $500 deposit, so you can take your time.”
When I was a little child, our driver was the BEST!!! He would buy lollies (those you can split) would split them for us, and give one half to each child before starting the journey. Lovely memories from childhood ❤
If he did that today he would be fired. 50% of kids these days have allergies. Not only that but as a male drive he would be investigated for enticing kids with candy. You can’t touch the kids, you can’t talk to the kids harshly (a defined by someone not on the bus) and you certainly can’t give them anything.
@@CharlesCurran-m9p Where did you get your “facts” on childhood allergies- especially to “Lollies” (lollipops)??? You are absolutely incorrect! The chances of ANY CHILD being allergic to lollipops is nearly 100% incorrect, according to EXPERTS! They are just sugar, with coloring. It is NOT AT ALL a highly, even SLIGHTLY, known allergen. If it were, every doctor’s allergy list would have lollipops listed! Try again.
@ In your sanctimonious snark you totally missed the point that PARENTS would raise hell about a bus driver giving kids ANYTHING! It’s also against policy of every school district I can imagine. As to no one being allergic to sugar have you not heard of juvenile diabetes? Grow up and point your outrage cannon at what ever EXPERTS you hang with. Your complete ignorance on this discussion is amazing.
Proof that parents don’t touch enough grass. They legit think this is reasonable and normal to expect this from a bus driver smh. Look around the comments-it’s not. Stop making people’s jobs harder than it has to be smh we’re not overflowing with drivers. Tell em thank you. Give them gifts of appreciation. Keep it moving. It’s that simple.
My ex-sister in law is a bus driver. She doesn’t play with parents like those .. if she’s get to the bus stop and there’s kids missing she waits for a minute or two the first few days of school . But then if they are not there by the time she gets there she leaves. It doesn’t matter who’s the kid .she drives my grandson last year and that the same thing she told him . Thank God we’re not like that , he always got there on time . And if he wasn’t going to school we texted her so she doesn’t worry about him . But she doesn’t play . We told him that he needs to respect her like he respects me or his mom .
It’s hard to believe people actually ask these things, but I know they do. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we have a bunch of entitled “can’t take the least bit of disappointment” kids in this country, because that is how their entitled, “ can’t take the least bit of disappointment” parents are raising them. It’s so sad.
Thank you Ma'am. You brightened my day. Thank you for protecting all the children on your bus and other drivers. You deserve a medal for your kindness and compassion for the children. May God bless and protect you and yours mightily for your service. ❤❤
I remind my kids how blessed & fortunate they are to have these bus drivers. When we go on vacation, we buy them gifts, gift cards, etc. I have their cell phones (only for emergencies as I always wait at the bus stop) & they have mine. They've even been over for dinner. We treat our bus drivers like royalty, & we tell the kids to treat their teachers the same. God bless you mam. 🙏🏽🌹💐💐💐💐
I’m astounded at the ‘requests’!! I always it took a special person to drive a school bus because of the kids but to have to deal with those types of parents - school bus drivers are the real heros!!
This video just popped up this morning and I loved it sooo much, that I had to subscribe!! So hilarious but TRUE!! I remember my years as a teacher for 18 years, the last 12 years as a Librarian and let me tell you that what this wonderful lady is saying it is true!! Thank goodness I retired in 2016 after serving 30 years for the Department of Education!! It was too much for me, cause so many parents (not all) acted exactly like she is saying or got aggressive if you didn’t comply to their stupid and outrageous wishes!!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
drove school bus off/on for decades. it's actually illegal to leave the bus with children in it - besides being nutty. yep, they want you to adjust the entire route to cater to their whims. and if you want to see insane driving? oh boy
First time ever seeing one of your videos. You're funnier than all get out! I cannot believe the entitlement of some of these parents, but I guess in many ways I can.
Had the best driver in 9th grade. Judy, a short lady, looked like judge Judy sorta. She didn't take crap from nobody. She did make a stop at a kids house and personally took him to his house and informed the father he was kicked off bus for 3 days. She also loaded us up with snowballs in coolers for when we passed the corner of our rival high school who bombarded our bus. She always had cold drinks on bus for us and hot chocolate in winter. She was the brst.
For two years our kids bus driver changed the designated route and picked up and dropped off every child at their home, because she could! Once she noticed I had not made it home from my school on time. She refused to let my kids off the bus until she finished the route and circled back. I was right behind her, but she didn't know it. A coworker of mine subbed for her, following the designated route. All the kids were so confused, "This isn't where we get off." It was a "special needs" bus for our high ability kids and the differently abled kids to their magnet school. She was a great bus driver! ❤
Ok, idk what school system y'all are in, but in ours, I don't have the authority to make stop changes, especially for dropoffs, bc it is a liability issue. Now, if everything you've said is true, then bless that driver's heart for her intentions, but do you see the problem it caused for her sub? Do you have any idea what type of issues your comment can cause for drivers when it is read by the types of entitled parents that are being featured in the video? I understand your intention may have been to brag on the driver, but the actual impact of your action is more likely to be that you encourage undesirable behavior, and put the idea into peoples' minds that breaking the rules for their convenience is what makes a good driver, when what makes a good driver, is prioritizing the safety of the children, whether that's convenient for the adults or not. The very first words out of these parents' mouths is _always_ "well, so-and-so driver did it for such-and-such!" So please, *please,* 🤲🏾 resist the urge to say stuff like this on public platforms, especially when we are *telling you* it is an issue.
I really appreciate my kids bus drivers. Especially my boys and their bus aide. My boys are now in high school and both special needs one high functioning and the other with profound delays. I put them on the bus as a form of independence.
Sweetie, with parents like these YOU deserve respect, parents that actually parent and to take these “requests” and put them in the AUDACITY box!!! Please take some time for yourself to have a delicious and delightful hot cup of something that brings you warmth, happiness and please some peace from all of these ridiculous people!!! Sent from a Mother of two who would not think to ask you, or anyone else, to parent the parents of THESE children!!!
Drove a school bus for 15 years.... it's the same kid / parent that is late . I used to pull up in the driveway every morning at 7:05 AM & back up to turn around, beep beep and I wait 3 minutes then leave. I be 10 minutes away in another town and dispatch would call me... I told them I was in another town now and I'm at this house every morning at the same time ‼️ Then the teachers are just as bad, I drove a school van and the kid would come out with a project that would fit in the back of a pick up truck. I stop the kid from coming on the bus with the project....or the teacher would try to bring the kid ( special ed) on the bus 10 minutes early... I allowed it until the kid went off in the bus on school property. I went to the teacher ( I had a monitor) and asked for help because I can't touch the kid . The teacher said that it wasn't her responsibility. I told her that she was 💩‼️ She turned me in BUT from that day on , nobody can come on the bus unless it was dismissal ‼️😁
I hit the road at 5:30am to pick up high school. I know these are funny but they aren't even close to crazy parent reality. I had a parent pull in front of my bus and block it so her kid could get off the bus cause the mean girl sat by her. Kid stayed on the bus and mom rode home with the cops. Use a brain cell people, don't mess with the people who drive your kids around town.
@elizabethlee3836 I had a parent do that to me once. They made a point of pulling out in front of me from their driveway, right into the path of my bus, just to tell me off. Buses don't stop on a dime. He could have been k1lled.
When I was a kid the bus driver changed where I was to be picked up and dropped off. I had to walk over a mile to where I was picked up and dropped off. But the bus driver pasted by my house every day. When I happen to tell the driver what house was mine as we drove past it she said from now on my house was my school bus stop. I was the only kid to be picked up or dropped off at that stop so it was not an issue and it was her idea to change where my bolus stop was. That was like 45 or so years ago. I doubt a driver could do that today.
Narcissists and entitled people expect the world to stop for them. Im glad this driver is no nonsense! 💯💯💥💥
There are SO many parents like this, it is unreal! I work in healthcare, at the front desk, and these moms and dads who bring these kids in....and the demands and expectations they have...just no words.
Retired in August after 25 years. I'm slowly regaining my sanity.
I retired after 33 years and THEY are having their ways now. Not much went down on my drive.
God be with you!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
May God bless you abundantly in your retirement! 🙏💚
Poor you, sorry.
I absolutely love this lady!
She is great! ❤
ME TOO!
My father was a school bus driver for 16 years. He said the parents were worse than the kids. He loved the kids and even saved them in a snow storm.
I drove a lot bus for over seventeen years, the parents are worse than the children

And that is only the bus....

Two jobs I could not do: 1. teacher
2. school bus driver
No thank you
Same here I agree with you
Luv the energy and the platform for addressing these ridiculous parents. They deserve a reality check where it benefits all.

Stop making people’s jobs harder than it has to be smh we’re not overflowing with drivers. Tell em thank you. Give them gifts of appreciation. Keep it moving. It’s that simple.
My son drives a bus. The stories… wow. Most parents contact the school, and get shut down, so he only hears the super weird ones at his door.
What a lovely woman
My ex-sister in law is a bus driver. She doesn’t play with parents like those .. if she’s get to the bus stop and there’s kids missing she waits for a minute or two the first few days of school . But then if they are not there by the time she gets there she leaves. It doesn’t matter who’s the kid .she drives my grandson last year and that the same thing she told him . Thank God we’re not like that , he always got there on time . And if he wasn’t going to school we texted her so she doesn’t worry about him . But she doesn’t play . We told him that he needs to respect her like he respects me or his mom .
Yep, bus stop time is bus stop time. Not a minute or 2 after.
It’s hard to believe people actually ask these things, but I know they do. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we have a bunch of entitled “can’t take the least bit of disappointment” kids in this country, because that is how their entitled, “ can’t take the least bit of disappointment” parents are raising them. It’s so sad.
These requests took me out. 😂 I see why these kids act like they don't have no sense...It starts with their entitled self-centered parents.
There is a special heaven for school bus drivers and bus monitors.
And teachers.
😂 this is wild. There are some nutty parents in this world. 😂😂😂
The word is "entitled." :-)
Good Job Sister....l have been driving for almost 40 years. I have told my school students it is not my job to get you out of bed.
Thank you Ma'am. You brightened my day. Thank you for protecting all the children on your bus and other drivers. You deserve a medal for your kindness and compassion for the children. May God bless and protect you and yours mightily for your service. ❤❤
You nailed it! 🤣
💯 % Truth! My Mom drove for many years, then did training & dispatcher. She loved driving the kids most. Rip Mom ❤
Got to love this woman she right on the ball when it comes to dealing with them ridiculous 😅 parents you rock 🎉❤
I remind my kids how blessed & fortunate they are to have these bus drivers. When we go on vacation, we buy them gifts, gift cards, etc. I have their cell phones (only for emergencies as I always wait at the bus stop) & they have mine. They've even been over for dinner. We treat our bus drivers like royalty, & we tell the kids to treat their teachers the same. God bless you mam. 🙏🏽🌹💐💐💐💐
I’m astounded at the ‘requests’!! I always it took a special person to drive a school bus because of the kids but to have to deal with those types of parents - school bus drivers are the real heros!!
Just another day of school bus driving.
You are an angel to drive a school bus! God bless you!
This video just popped up this morning and I loved it sooo much, that I had to subscribe!! So hilarious but TRUE!! I remember my years as a teacher for 18 years, the last 12 years as a Librarian and let me tell you that what this wonderful lady is saying it is true!! Thank goodness I retired in 2016 after serving 30 years for the Department of Education!! It was too much for me, cause so many parents (not all) acted exactly like she is saying or got aggressive if you didn’t comply to their stupid and outrageous wishes!!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
drove school bus off/on for decades. it's actually illegal to leave the bus with children in it - besides being nutty. yep, they want you to adjust the entire route to cater to their whims. and if you want to see insane driving? oh boy
Here’s the answer to all of these…… (crickets). That’s what these entitled brats of ‘parents’ deserve.
I just love this lady. She's got it on! Great video
First time ever seeing one of your videos. You're funnier than all get out! I cannot believe the entitlement of some of these parents, but I guess in many ways I can.
I love this bus driver
She has a future in Hollywood
Well spoken and really funny
She has a rare talent
Your children, your responsibility
I thought the requests were bad enough until you got to "can you pick up my Curbside order?" That's when my jaw dropped....literally!!
Everything you said. 100%😂🎉
What is wrong with these people? It would never occur to me in a million years to request any of these accommodations.
A bus driver is just that a bus driver…not a taxi driver
Not JUST a bus driver, but some one who makes sure his/her passengers get to and from school safely. But, I get what you mean.
This lady is awesome 😆
Bless her for having the patience to deal with so many kids and annoying parents.
That bus driver knows her stuff!!!!
You make your special accommodations for your children. You’re the parent! Quit expecting teachers, bus drivers, and school staff to be the parent!!!!
Clearly some parents need to parent their children and not expect others to!
It’s alarming how true your comment is.
We saw it during Covid too.
You go girl! Well done! Bravo!
“…and I’mma driv’on!” Exactly! 🤣👏🏾🤣👏🏾🤣👌🏾
Lovely school bus driver: bless your heart 10 times over. You are adorable
Around here is a bus driver gets off the bus with any children on they will lose their job. Sorry mom.
Omg, these entitled requests are outrageous. I had to come to the comment section for clarity because i thought to myself, " This can not be real."
Loved it!!!
Hysterical
Look forward to more
Had the best driver in 9th grade. Judy, a short lady, looked like judge Judy sorta. She didn't take crap from nobody. She did make a stop at a kids house and personally took him to his house and informed the father he was kicked off bus for 3 days. She also loaded us up with snowballs in coolers for when we passed the corner of our rival high school who bombarded our bus. She always had cold drinks on bus for us and hot chocolate in winter. She was the brst.
For two years our kids bus driver changed the designated route and picked up and dropped off every child at their home, because she could! Once she noticed I had not made it home from my school on time. She refused to let my kids off the bus until she finished the route and circled back. I was right behind her, but she didn't know it. A coworker of mine subbed for her, following the designated route. All the kids were so confused, "This isn't where we get off." It was a "special needs" bus for our high ability kids and the differently abled kids to their magnet school. She was a great bus driver! ❤
Ok, idk what school system y'all are in, but in ours, I don't have the authority to make stop changes, especially for dropoffs, bc it is a liability issue. Now, if everything you've said is true, then bless that driver's heart for her intentions, but do you see the problem it caused for her sub? Do you have any idea what type of issues your comment can cause for drivers when it is read by the types of entitled parents that are being featured in the video? I understand your intention may have been to brag on the driver, but the actual impact of your action is more likely to be that you encourage undesirable behavior, and put the idea into peoples' minds that breaking the rules for their convenience is what makes a good driver, when what makes a good driver, is prioritizing the safety of the children, whether that's convenient for the adults or not. The very first words out of these parents' mouths is _always_ "well, so-and-so driver did it for such-and-such!" So please, *please,* 🤲🏾 resist the urge to say stuff like this on public platforms, especially when we are *telling you* it is an issue.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those moms are making our future leaders, these kids will be lawmakers and state secretaries. How scary!!!
I really appreciate my kids bus drivers. Especially my boys and their bus aide. My boys are now in high school and both special needs one high functioning and the other with profound delays. I put them on the bus as a form of independence.
And this is for a second cup of whatever your beautiful, loving and hilarious self wants!!! From one parent to another!! 🫶🏻
She's a hoot! I think I would enjoy every minute of riding with her - as long as I didn't get in trouble with her! Haha!
Sweetie, with parents like these YOU deserve respect, parents that actually parent and to take these “requests” and put them in the AUDACITY box!!! Please take some time for yourself to have a delicious and delightful hot cup of something that brings you warmth, happiness and please some peace from all of these ridiculous people!!! Sent from a Mother of two who would not think to ask you, or anyone else, to parent the parents of THESE children!!!
I don’t have kids but will buy mine and your Walmart order if you bring it to me 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We need more bus driver's like this lady
You made my day😅
She is so real...any funny! Love it!
I love her😂 She is hilarious and so practical. Its hard to believe that parents expect other people to be responsible for their children! 🚌
Drove a school bus for 15 years.... it's the same kid / parent that is late . I used to pull up in the driveway every morning at 7:05 AM & back up to turn around, beep beep and I wait 3 minutes then leave. I be 10 minutes away in another town and dispatch would call me... I told them I was in another town now and I'm at this house every morning at the same time ‼️
Then the teachers are just as bad, I drove a school van and the kid would come out with a project that would fit in the back of a pick up truck. I stop the kid from coming on the bus with the project....or the teacher would try to bring the kid ( special ed) on the bus 10 minutes early... I allowed it until the kid went off in the bus on school property. I went to the teacher ( I had a monitor) and asked for help because I can't touch the kid . The teacher said that it wasn't her responsibility. I told her that she was 💩‼️ She turned me in BUT from that day on , nobody can come on the bus unless it was dismissal ‼️😁
Any person who deals with the public in any capacity doesn’t get paid enough
This can't be real! 😂😂😂 These parents have done lost their minds! 🎉
That preview pic is why I clicked.
THANK YOU for your very hard work.
I hit the road at 5:30am to pick up high school. I know these are funny but they aren't even close to crazy parent reality.
I had a parent pull in front of my bus and block it so her kid could get off the bus cause the mean girl sat by her. Kid stayed on the bus and mom rode home with the cops.
Use a brain cell people, don't mess with the people who drive your kids around town.
And, she held up all the other kids from getting home on time while you called and waited for the cops.
@elizabethlee3836 I had a parent do that to me once. They made a point of pulling out in front of me from their driveway, right into the path of my bus, just to tell me off. Buses don't stop on a dime. He could have been k1lled.
This bus drivers is a model of common sense. Please keep these videos coming.
Man and I thought teachers had it bad. So glad I never wanted to be a bus driver.
Driving and 30 children don’t mix.
30!??? Hahahaha Try a full bus of 78! Oh it’s a real joy, trust me!
When I was a kid the bus driver changed where I was to be picked up and dropped off. I had to walk over a mile to where I was picked up and dropped off. But the bus driver pasted by my house every day. When I happen to tell the driver what house was mine as we drove past it she said from now on my house was my school bus stop. I was the only kid to be picked up or dropped off at that stop so it was not an issue and it was her idea to change where my bolus stop was. That was like 45 or so years ago. I doubt a driver could do that today.
We can change stop locations so long has it doesn’t add time.
I love this lady. She should run for congress.
