Yesterday I was taking the shuttle to my 10:30 class. All the seats were full so I was one of a handful of people standing. We were pulling out of my apartment complex when the shuttle came to a jerking stop (I almost fell on a few people, but luckily I was holding the handrail). I look up front and see our shuttle driver arguing with this black girl (this whole thing may sound racist, but I assure you it's not - the girl just happened to be black) because she sat in the front on this platform thing next to the driver's seat (technically you're not supposed to sit there, but when the shuttle's full, people always do and no one cares).

So the bus is stopped and I'm standing there, at this point still trying to figure out what's going on. The driver finally says, "I'm not going until she apologizes." What?! You drive a fucking bus, you're not our parent. It is your job to drive the bus, not to lecture us on manners. Yes, the girl was being idiotic and rude, but you don't have the right to make 50 people late for their classes because you want an apology.

So the girl was being a stubborn prick, and the driver got off the bus and made a phone call. This was after about five minutes. 90% chance he called one of his driver friends or his boss to ask if he would do what he was doing, and 100% chance they told him, "No, now go drive the fucking bus."

So he got back on and we went to campus. During the ride they both made phone calls and were both telling the situations in their own words, which was pretty funny since they were right next to each other. People like that suck.

Spirited Away - 9/10
Little Miss Sunshine - 8.5/10
Network - 8/10

Edit 10/18/2008: Network should be a 10/10, and Spirited Away as well. I failed at recognizing classics.
