Why am I meeting so much defensiveness? I’m not hostile to you! It almost sounds like you don’t want to hear it. Now people are giving me arguments in the ATMB thread, but nobody tells them this isn’t the thread for it. Am I allowed to counter these arguments here? Should I open a new thread? I’ll take down the twitter post if that’s the problem. I want to know who is the best person to contact about this. Why is this an unreasonable question? Should I just go somewhere else? Go on and just tell me.
You might need to go back to the mental ward. Get some Thorazine.
President Trump has been pretty good at straightening out the people on this board. Have you written him?
I told you in the closed ATMB thread, take a break. You haven’t added anything to the story since the OP in your first thread. We hear what you are saying. What do you expect us to do?
No one here can fix this and make your pain go away .
I do think you are in pain.
Maybe you should call your Doctor.
It couldn’t hurt.
Well, thank fuck this is now in the pit.
Lucid-nonsense, you are a fuckwit. You were NOT kicked off a bus, you were asked to present your tickets (which you failed to do) so you were then asked to leave the bus. Sure, the driver might have been a bit of a twat too, but really, if you already had your google-map out, and YOU COULD SEE that the bus stopped outside the airport, why the continued fucken game with the driver? Surely you could have given her your tickets then moved to a seat?
Honestly, you’re coming off as totally unhinged over absolutely nothing here. Does racism exist? Absolutely. Does your account of what happened come anywhere remotely close to a display of racism?
Absolutely not.
Now fuck off and find your meds.
Because you asked a question, and then got all butthurt when people didn’t tell you what you wanted to hear.
Once again: you’re just going to have to be patient. BC Transit cannot, legally, fire a driver simply based on one complaint, without an investigation. Quite frankly, it’s your word against her’s. They have no proof that you’re telling the truth. Also, BC Transit drivers are UNIONIZED. Do you not understand what that means? LEGALLY, they cannot just fire her, merely on your word. She could sue their asses.
I don’t know if you’ve ever worked customer service, but there are people who make up complaints all the fucking time. Again, I’m not saying you are, but it happens. For example, years ago I worked at the local science museum, and had a woman call me a psycho bitch because I asked her (politely) to throw her gum away. She then told my manager that she didn’t like the language I used in front of her kids! :Dubious: Now, she was rant and raving all over the place, so quite frankly, we just started laughing right after she left, and nothing happened to me. But you see how people pull this kind of shit?
For all the company knows, you could just be someone who got pissed off because she wouldn’t let you on without a ticket, you were playing your music too loud, you got kicked off for eating on the bus, etc. Once again: THEY HAVE NO PROOF EXCEPT YOUR WORD. Got that? Since she is in a union, they legally cannot just take your word for it, or they’ll be in for a world of hurt.
You may not like it, you may not think it’s fair, but guess what? Life ain’t fair.
(Was she a racist? Fuck if I know, I wasn’t there, I don’t know you from Adam. I do know that you need to be patient. Or this will all blow up in your face, and you’ll have nobody but yourself to blame)
I have an answer for you. Listen carefully, for it is subtly given. Do not be distracted, and for Jim’s sake, do not let go.
Hence the user-name.
Nobody has explained to me why I can’t get a denial or an explanation. It should take less than an hour to find her and ask her version of the events. There were also witnesses. They will forget if this doesn’t happen quickly. In fact, that is probably what they are counting on.
Denial or explanation for what exactly?
I’m sure they already did the instant you got off the bus.
Listen up, you imbecile. The bus driver lied to us in order to make it sound like it wasn’t the right bus, and when I wanted to check, she told us to give her tickets or get off the bus. If you call that getting told to leave instead of getting kicked out, fucking fine, but why did she do it, and why can’t I get her to explain that to me?
Did you not read my post? There are legal ramifications to consider. THAT’S why they can’t tell you everything that’s going on. Jesus, how fucking thick can you get?
Not necessarily. This is in Castlegar, SO DEEP in the mountains of British Columbia. It seriously could’ve been one of the first few times they saw a black woman.
Her behaviour. Why did she lie to get us off the bus? There has to be a reason. If it’s not that she doesn’t like either black women or interracial couple, I’d love to hear it. No one so far has even come with anything plausible.
It’s public transit. I’m positive they see mental patients all day long.
I did explain it. Nobody did anything. You realize already that they hope if they do nothing you’ll never come back.
What did you ask for? How did you ask? Did you provide a written request?
What legal ramifications, pray tell.
Alright, now I don’t believe any of this. You aren’t acting rationally. I wouldn’t be surprised if a perfectly reasonable bus driver filed a report about an out of control passenger on her bus that started raving about racial discrimination when she just wanted to see your tickets.
