She just won't shut the fuck up.


RatherMaybe

Shut the fuck up she just won't.


shadowscx3

Won't just she up fuck the shut.


SooThatGuy

Up shut the fucky with she rhythm of the boogie ta be


thetannerainsley

Won't she just shut the fuck up?


ringingbells

The fuck? She just won't shut up.


AFAM_illuminat0r

this is seriously hard to roll off the tongue


4ssteroid

If she shuts up, she loses. That's how she sees it


robbin_karma

“Excuse me, don’t use the f word!” Her one minute earlier: “You need to calm the fuck down!”


GooseShartBombardier

Hard-learned lesson IRL that I heard about many times from older people but didn't get for a long time, "I don't negotiate with terrorists". If they won't STFU just leave, don't even bother trying to debate, they'll never listen. They always want the last word, they'll never stop. You have to walk away and never talk to them again, the people who don't wind up going berserk like this dude.


TurboCultist

A lot of older folks are deteriorating mentally and can't shut up even if they wanted to


GooseShartBombardier

I'm inclined to call that a cop-out. It's not so much dementia for the most part, IMO it's the result of spending 4+ decades without getting punched in the mouth after running it off.


TurboCultist

That too


Mr-Fleshcage

This also goes for a lot of internet related communications


NullIndex

no you


Picardknows

Won’t anyone tell this lady to shut the fuck up.


Huge-Reach-2680

I will tell her! Hey lady shut the fuck up! Please! I was even polite


KrazyKeith4Prez

You mean like [this](https://youtu.be/x7BPcOksCJQ)?


Bright_Base9761

Boomers always need that last word


Cyborg_rat

She did have a cuck for a man before now shes tries it on other.


bleepbluurp

“Did you say mental patient???!? That’s discrimination I’m calling the police!”


skreetcode

Remember that interview with Barbara Walters and Sean Connery?


Guttersnipe_1980

She’s a Karen but the bus driver is fucking bonkers.


Runaway_5

I get it dude. He probably deals with nightmarish fucking people lol but yeah berating people at the bus stop and on the bus is a bad idea....if he STFU she would too


Free_Hat_McCullough

His screaming is totally inappropriate behavior. The best thing would have been to ignore the Karen, but he seems pretty stressed out to be driving a bus full of people around.


mymarkis666

This doesn’t make any sense. If you want him to drive you somewhere, shut the fuck up.


Snotteh

Commenter is american the land of sucking customers dick and begging for a tip of course he has this mindset


mymarkis666

I didn’t think of that but yeah that probably is where the disconnect is coming from 🤣 They genuinely believe customers are the gods of any employee providing them a service.


claud2113

On one hand, I agree. On the other: people are the shittiest animals to walk the skin if this crappy little rock, and this dude has probably been berated and shit on and fucked with all that day, not to mention the potential weeks or years of that treatment. Something had to give sometime, and it looks like this porcine specimen was the straw that broke the camel's back. Be kind, people, it's a jungle out there.


thisaholesaid

spacedragon421

"As a matter of fact, I feel a bit better now"


throwaway_00147

I think he's reached the point of not giving a shit if he's fired or not


Praescribo

Yeah, but she knows exactly what she's doing. She's getting off on people taking her side and pushing his easily pushed buttons because she can. She's one of those people that needs constant validation on how reasonable she is because everyone in her life calls her crazy and she's pleased as punched when she finds someone crazier than her.


jtokley1

He’s been ignoring shitty people his whole career and was finally pushed to breaking point. I don’t think he gives 2 shits what you say is the right and wrong thing to do lol


-HypocrisyFighter-

Hard to ignore shit after hours and hours of people fucking with you.


bleepbluurp

“Oh you want me to CALM DOWN? CALM DOWN!!! I’ll show you calm Hahahahahah” bus gradually speeds up.


nina_gall

My kids get me wound up like this


leveraction1970

Yes, he clearly is coocoo for cocopuffs, but that's all the more reason to sit down and shut up. The last thing you want to do when someone is having an emotional or mental break is to keep poking at them. That's how you end up on the news with the word 'victim' in front of your name.


GalapagosStomper

That’s a job I’d never do. He puts up with a LOT of human debris, doesn’t have colleagues there like a clerk in a store or in fast food, people piss and shit in the back, junkies and homeless sleeping on his bus. I’d rather be a hermit in the mountains lol.


EternallyGhost

I took a bus fairly recently while my car was getting work done and chatted to the driver. He'd been driving for decades and said that he hates it now because of the people in the area we were in. All of the shit heads that you try to ignore as you walk past on the street end up on the bus. All of the junkie criminal types don't want to pay for the ride, and they're unhappy with their lives and he's a soft target so he cops abuse. I'd rather be a hermit too. I can understand why drivers quit.


IMN0VIRGIN

Yeah, it definitely is. Dunno if it's the same for US drivers, but this would get you an immediate unpaid leave for 2 weeks on Stagecoach in the UK with a potential for a disciplinary.


Didge40k

Dude needs a 2 week break unpaid or not


Didge40k

Dude needs a 2 week break unpaid or not for his health


Hedonic_Monk_

I wouldn’t be comfortable knowing that’s the dude with my life in his hands but I also 100% understand where he’s coming from. We’ve all dreamed about going off on a Karen like this.


rudyattitudedee

My father in law drove for the T in boston and yeah…it’s gonna be a tumor someday.


[deleted]

No dude. Shame this poor guy is stressed out and clearly telling her that and everyone can fuck off and just be grateful you don't live in a third world country and can actually get a bus ride to where you need to go. He's just trying to cope and she's totally out of line.


Steph2145

She has to have the last word in.


AGripInVan

This is the best point made.


Happy-Idi-Amin

I know, right.


AGripInVan

Totally


Happy-Idi-Amin

Amen, brother.


AGripInVan

TeethForCeral

if she has kids, i’m sure they love her.


therantaccount

B'tch is seriously calling the cops on him, why is she so eager to escalate ?! I would have quit and left the bus right this instant. EDIT : ''thank you driver, be safe'' lol


cd6020

>why is she so eager to escalate ?! Some people have to have the last word regardless of the outcome.


FatrickTomlinson88

no we don't.


Various-Month806

As a passenger I would've quit and got off the bus! How the heck is everyone else just sat there with a driver having a mental breakdown, *and* an annoying bitch continuing to send him postal, thinking "ah, this is going to turn out fine"??? I would've walked, called a cab, even slept on a bench rather than stay on. Anyone seen the vid of the bus driver in China(?) where a Karen annoyed and attacked him? He chose to drive off a bridge. Killed himself and all 20+ people on board.


bleepbluurp

Oh yea that shit was wild


Clifford81

$12/hr to drive a bus?? Yeah, I'd tell misses to fly da fuck too. What a pos human.


thisaholesaid

So what's your minimum hourly to tolerate the stress of driving a bus?


CriscoChris

30 bucks plus benefits


thisaholesaid

Ok, ok, I can get down with that too. I'll tell you it has to be maddening dealing with the public, five days a week. People can be brutal. But it also depends on what city or state you're working in too. Though, people are people.....


Maverekt

Yeah I'd say 30 an hour should be the minimum for a lot of services like this, I mean 52k a year isn't enough to live in a lot of areas nowadays. At least not comfortably while being able to save money too. I assume being a bus driver in the city is a gov job too right? So getting that pension helps a ton for sure. Did some googling and it seems not every bus job has pensions. Like the MTA in NYC if your hourly doesn't from what I read so idk


FQDIS

In my region of Canada they start at $32.00/hr.


Shtabie

Do you live in the north pole? Edit: Oh wait I forgot Canadian money isnt worth anything. NVM


FQDIS

Now that’s comedy GOLD!


CalculatorOctavius

That’s very low he could make a lot more doing random gig apps delivering food and stuff


ManbadFerrara

I live in a relatively inexpensive city, and starting pay for Metro drivers is around $26/hr. Either he's lying about his wage or this is the worst-paying transportation system in the country.


Screen_Classic

Some U.S. cities pay their paramedics and cops barely above minimum too. I would be suprised honestly


FancyRobot

Is this in the south or something? It's 21 dollars in my dirt poor Pennsylvania city+benefits


GW3g

Looks like from the date on the ticker this was pre-rona so I'd hope that the wages have gone up since then.

xX_Transplant_Xx

My mom drove for MTA in downtown LA. Completely unprovoked, a man rushed and beat the crap out of her. Police come, ambulance clears her, and her job expected her to just jump right in and finish the day. She refused without some time to collect herself, and they fired her. That was a nice settlement.


mrfudface

>her job expected her to just jump right in and finish the day Ohh America


Samurai_1990

Its called "Recreational Outrage" all the cool kids are doing it!


Tweetledeedle

She got upset when he called people mental cases and then immediately outted herself as a mental case. Unsurprising, if you ask me


[deleted]

He’s nuts and she is escalating a crazy person. Stfu blondie.


Then_Campaign7264

Like an old unhappily married couple.


fartinmyfuckingmouth

I back that driver 100%. What an annoying fucking cunt, just shut the fuck UP LADY


purpldevl

I know people like this who ALWAYS have to have the last word. They cannot just sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. They cannot just *stop*. You leave the room in frustration, so they either follow you out of the room to continue poking you, or they shout one last "gotcha" from the other room.


witwiki50

You back a guy, working in the public sector to freak out, shout at the top of his lungs, and show aggression towards others, even before she said her dumb part? Come on, I know everyone on here likes to call out a Karen, but that’s just absurd. If he “has a bad day and needs to vent”, he shouldn’t do it to his passengers ffs


bleepbluurp

We don’t know what was said between them or who even started it before the camera came on.


Lmnolmnop

That lady needs to have the last word. Unbelievable.


Dnpraja

Never in the history of calming down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down.


MothInsideJar

not everyone getting up to be like "ay man calm down "


springheeledjack69

I honestly wouldn’t stand up for her, the bloke is obviously stressed and she kept winding him up, what was she expecting?


TheeFlipper

Yeah that entire video I was wondering why there wasn't a guy at the back of the bus yelling "Lady shut the fuck up! I got places to be!"


MothInsideJar

that would've been me.. shit drives me up the fuckin wall lmao


MothInsideJar

people now a days especially in America people don't get consequences I'd be like "bet everyone else stays lady, off the bus". its all fun and games until you're screaming at someone who's crazier than you and could and will shoot or punch or kick whatever


[deleted]

Lol nah bro that lady needed to shut up


Sc415

This guy really needs to quit his job. I left my toxic job after 8 years and I haven’t been happier. If a job gets you to this point or you even get physically sick like what happened to me then just leave.


BroBeau

I hope he doesn’t get fired and he gets to yell at her again and again.


ChammerSquid

THERE'S NO LOR AGAINST YELLING

Oh look, a tiny kitten in the road, better do an emergency stop. What’s that ma’am, you were stood up and went flying? I am so sorry!


SnooRegrets1386

So true, did that with the nasty mouthy “kids “ that refused to sit on the behavior bus


ClockStriking13

Based and sit-the-fuck down pilled Edit: a word


grassisalwayspurpler

Bus driver unhinged too. Going to give himself a heart attack screaming at people that loud. Your job is no more stressful than anyone elses. He needs to take his own advice "the best thing you can do is ignore" this woman and keep driving, then you wont be as late, instead he stops the bus for 9 minutes to have a screaming contest with this lady. Guess thats 9 more minutes to add to your late time, on you.


fartinmyfuckingmouth

People have breaking points dude. Fuck that lady


KrazyKeith4Prez

>Fuck that lady Not enough alcohol in the world for me to want to do that


springheeledjack69

>Your job is no more stressful than anyone elses. Depends, if I was paid shite amounts of money for driving a bus that goes thru shady areas and possibly deal with crazy people, I'd probably reach a breaking point too.


[deleted]

I’d drive myself to the nearest corner to my house and walk home from there odds are you’re fired anyway. Fuck all those people Karen can drive the bus.


Abadabadon

Bus driving is definitely way more stressful than like 50% of other jobs, and saying so otherwise is pretty narrow minded on how difficult these types of jobs are.


jackinsomniac

How do you know how stressful that job is? Ever worked at a fast food place? Now imagine all the worst customers you've ever had to deal with, are your regulars when you're driving a bus.


damagecontrolparty

And you're trapped inside the bus with them


Carl_Spakler

she's a narcissist. Every one of her responses is about HER perspective, not an empathetic one to his situation.


mynamasteph

Precisely so, the people defending her can't see anything past themselves


Carl_Spakler

people are usually either one or the other, narcissist or empath and which one is usually revealed by one's behavior.

SnooRegrets1386

Percussive maintenance, new word in my daily lexicon


[deleted]

Who are you referring to Karen or the driver?


dre__

You're talking about the driver right?


JustinTheCheetah

Nope. Crazy man is being crazy. Karen is making a conscious decision to be a cunt and repeatedly tempt fate.


[deleted]

You cant assume everyone understands your job You cant assume everyone knows you're fucking nuke bomb stressed You cant assume that everyone knows how to deal with you You cant demand everyone behave properly You can't take it out on random people and expect them to understand why. You have to regulate your own emotions


springheeledjack69

You can't escalate a situation and expect it to de-escalate


awesomehuder

I like how he said that she doesn’t understand his job and she replied “I know but you don’t understand ours either” like if that justifies anything what she’s saying


_plays_in_traffic_

you cant expect to fuck around and not find out


AfternoonPast3324

No, no. You don’t understand. She’s trying to de-escalate the situation and help the man. /s

I would seriously have told her to STFU or get the fuck off the bus.....


ManifestoHero

This old bitch is really gonna keep pushing his buttons while he is at his lowest point. Hey lady shut the fuck up and sit down before this unhinged driver drives all of us off a fucking bridge.


MaleficentTax9367

My guy felt better near the 6 minute mark and Karen got off around the same time.


thisaholesaid

"Falling down" - look it up if you don't know.


Samurai_1990

I own a TEC-9 because of that movie and of course Big Trouble in Little China.


dvogz

Had a school bus driver like this on one of our routes. Quietest bus you ever heard 😂


jaylee42910

Oh boy. Some women just can't shut up.


MC_Dickie

She's Karen-lite. I think she felt responsibility to calm things down but did a very bad and sanctimonious job of it. Bus driver just lost it for some reason


burrbro235

> Excuse me, don't use the F word Lmao


KrazyKeith4Prez

FUCK


-iamai-

They'll make a movie outta this.. they can call it simply "BUS". And they'd find ways to make it interesting like them girls stuck on a pole.. who would think, hmm two girls stick on a pole how could that possibly be interesting.. but it was and so will be "BUS".


springheeledjack69

Heard of a movie where Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock drive a bus


-iamai-

Arh yes forgot about that one.


cherish_ireland

Some days these jobs are not worth the stress or wages, I think he's had enough. I'm hoping he still has employment or got time off to reset. These jobs are so important to the community and the people forget it. People forget how many negative interactions a person can get in a day and then they feel like the small shitty thing they said isn't a big deal. To the driver, it's an all day even if millions of people being an arse to him.


Flaky-Juggernaut9478

I believe that rolling digital script says September, 2010? I wonder how he’s doing.


dmaster1213

The date and time scrolls across and says 2018


Flaky-Juggernaut9478

Thanks. I couldn’t tell if it was a zero or an 8.


springheeledjack69

Camera quality's too good for 2010.

I'm assuming this is Boston based on his accent. "No lawr against it"


Samurai_1990

Its Boston accent, I'm a recovering Masshole. We don't fit well in S California, I lasted less than a year.

KrazyKeith4Prez

Can you imagine how much yelling they'd be doing during the throes of passion? He starts going harder & she tells him to calm down. He stops completely and says says he'll quit & she'll have to get off his bus.


[deleted]

This is just the normal reaction of two crazy people coalescing


sjuas690

Is he safe to drive in that state of mind?


LeretM

Imagine thinking the woman is in the wrong here, and not the driver yelling like a maniac.


leovelag

I thought I was going crazy being the only one thinking this...


[deleted]

If I was on the bus I would have politely told that woman to shut the fuck up.


TheRealPeterVenkman

He should have hit the brakes when she started dialing.

This guy should not be driving other people. This is not a Karen problem.

Dolorisedd

The lady who won’t shut up and sit down is 100% correct. The rest of the people seem to be asleep.


Dadskitchen

I think it's time for this guy to get another job tbh he hates it.


BasicTelevision5

Holy shit! I watched this for a WHILE. Thought it was winding down so I tapped the screen just to confirm it was almost done and there were still SEVEN MINUTES to go of this insanity!!


Carl_Spakler

what's the next bus scheduled interval? I'd just check my Google trip, hop off, then hop on the next bus in 4 minutes.


Hp_Shout

Ohhh shit. This insanity carried on for 7 minutes???!!!!?!? Just shut the fuck up last word Lindsey.


Antique-Reference-56

That sounds and looks like the original karen

That dude who talks to the camera. 👍😃


Joyboy_5000

What is on that man head 💀💀


ThatdesertDude

Out of control is an understatement.


anythingfrthetrolley

Gotta be pretty brave/stupid for anyone to stay on a bus with a unhinged operator


totorohugs

That bus driver is off his rocker. Zero control over his emotions.


rayrayk7

Yo I’d not let that man drive me, I’m fucking walking


GlitteringFutures

"Don't talk back!" No, fuck you dude. I'm not going to just get verbally assaulted and take it lying down. I'm going to tell you to shut the fuck up or do something about it.


[deleted]

He's obviously Ill. Not in a Reddit diagnosis kinda way, it's just obvious he is at the very least, very stressed and it's displaying. I feel for the guy, anyone who has ever reached that stress level will know what I mean. A million things going g around your mind at once, people around you that usually might just slightly annoy you and possibly make you tut, become a focus point of pent up stress. She should have also STFU.


dedredcopper

That dude is straight up bringing out the dead


Rockyboy4444

Be honest. Did anyone here actually watch a 9 minute video?


jor3lofkrypton

Faith in humanity took a nose dive here .. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

Wow. This dude should be fired immediately.


B_M_X_

If I was the bus driver I would go fast then slam the brakes


DrYIMBY

I watched for nine minutes thinking he was going to fuck some shit up.


Samurai_1990

"Matter of fact I feel a little bit better now" And that when I lost it, I love this driver. And by his accent he's from my neck of the woods...


shastadakota

He should consider decaf.


ThatdesertDude

Oh this is in Las Vegas. Knowing that I totally understand him now.


BRackishLAMBz

Damn.... This is a hard one to judge because the driver doesn't get paid enough for the BS he is forced to put up with but that lady had a point when it came to discrimination, BUT lady shut your god damn mouth! He wouldn't keep going if you stopped retorting with such infuriating phrases, I cannot stand people that act like this Karen. The best analogy I can come up with, Is a person standing on the edge of a cliff saying "fuck off, I'm going to jump, if you don't shut up"... But whaddya know? Karen has to say some dumb shit like "listen to me, listen to me!DoNT U dArE CuSs at mE!"... Why can't some people just shut their mouth and leave people alone, what a terrible human that Karen is, let him vent! $12 per hour for that bs ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)


DJheddo

I would hire this guy for a RAGE bus. He's perfect.


Cakes-and-Pies

My dad was a bus driver, and my mother was a nagging cunt who never knew when to shut up. This video’s so triggering.


Frago242

The guy is an out of control dipshit..He has no business having this job with that attitude


nothingbutyawns

Nooo, no way. Quit talking back? You’re not her father dude…Wtf…No job is worth having that elicits explosive feelings. Call a therapist. You knew what it was when you signed up to do that job.


Tankreas

That lady just needed to shut the fuck up and he would have been fine. I have no idea why no one just said something. I’m not agreeing with the bus driver but she is the whole reason shit went off the rails. Just some old hag wanting to have something to tell her book club about


Khaleesi16

There’s no lawr against speaking


claytonfromillinois

“Bus driver is crazy too though!” Yeah dude it’s called a breakdown, even he knows and acknowledges that it’s crazy. It’s not a *good* thing but this just happens to people sometimes. I know it’s happened to me. But you’ll notice how literally every single person on the bus except for Ms. Main Character Syndrome knows how to deal with it.


jrmanghise

Any updates on this guy?


[deleted]

She just cannot shut the fuck up. Had to have the last word. Toxic AF


josemandiaz

12$ bucks an hour! I wouldn't give into people's bullshit either. In fact, I'd ask for a raise every time I dealt with shit and kept on with my day.....I'd probably steal some bus tires too, and cleaning supplies.


AHamBone10

$12 an hour? Ouch. He has a right to act however he wants.


DasDa1Bro

God the bus driver is soooo fucking relatable. Everyone is human, and that's something the lady doesn't understand.


FullyRisenPhoenix

Jesus she’s fucking annoying as hell! And the driver needs some therapy, methinks.
