Did the thought cross your mind to go around him? Or provide assistance, even?

I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy

Being in a bus with elementary school kids is the absolute worst. There is no end to the constant screaming. It's like being in one of those concerts with 12 year old girls who never stop yelling at the performers. There's no way it doesn't give you a headache.

I don't know how you survived, but good job! *applauds*

On the bright side, you are probably a legend to those kids now. You got them out of having to go to class. I remember when I went to elementary school and we had this bus driver who went through the McDonalds drive-thru. We were 45 minutes late to school, and we never saw him again after that. Ah, memories.

I stand corrected. In that case OP, you have my sympathy. I can't stand one little kid when I'm at a restaurant, but a whole bus load and in a very small space... Nooooo thank you.

Why didn't you make those kids get out and push the truck out of the way? Or tell them it's Career Day and have them interrogate the trucker why he can't handle a job most morons can do.

On the plus side, the kids must've been elated to be losing school.

Put it this way, surviving that you should be good to go.

when in Rome... if you're as silly as they are but still maintain that adult/kid respect, they'll respect you
