Today, I started a new job as a school bus driver. I was sent on the hardest route in the area, and not 5 minutes in I came across a broke down truck in the middle of the road. I was stuck behind him for over an hour with a bus full of elementary school kids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while taking a bus full of loud, rambunctious elementary children to school, the bus slowly slid off the road into a ditch. After waiting 30 minutes that felt like hours, I saw the tow truck arriving from the opposite direction also slide slowly off the roadway into the opposite ditch. FML
Today, as I got on the bus to commute to work, its front right tire exploded. Everyone, including the driver, glared at me while getting off. The next bus arrives in 2 hours. FML
Today, my car is being repaired, so I had to catch a bus to work. When the bus came, the driver pulled toward the curb and gunned it through a large puddle of water, then pulled away and continued down the road, leaving me soaking wet. FML
Today, I drove into my school. Literally drove into my school. FML
Today, my friends and I rented a party bus, which broke down on the highway 45 minutes into the ride. I paid the guy for the whole four hours. He said he was going to flag down a car to get someone to help us. We saw him get into a car and leave. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML
Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML
Today, I fell asleep in the school bus on the way back home when my loud fart woke me and a few other kids up. I am a teacher. FML
Today, I spent an hour in a snowstorm waiting for my bus to show up. After I got fed up, I decided to just clean off my car and drive to work. After I was halfway finished swiping off the snow and ice stuck to my car, the bus drove right past me. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

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

It was actually a tow truck with a pickup truck on the back of it. We were going up a very long, narrow, steep hill, and he was right in the middle of the rode. There was no way I could fit around him. Also he already had the wheel chocked so not much I could do for him

Even if he wanted to help you can't exactly just leave a bus full of elementary school kids unattended!

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.

it was on the way home from school

That must have been one hell of a McDonalds drive-thru to fit a bus.

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.

Because that could get you fired

It amazes me how many people take comments literally rather then the tongue in cheek comments that they are.

Because there are people that would say what you said and seriously mean it.

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

Based on the OP's comment on #6's comment, they didn't lose any school. They were on their way home.

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
