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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I waited over 30 minutes in freezing cold weather for my bus. When it finally arrived, I went to get on board, but slipped and fell on the icy ground. The driver waited a whole 2 seconds before snorting, "Ain't nobody got time for this shit", closing the doors, and driving off. 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, 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 broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML
Today, I had to catch a shuttle bus. I awoke to the sound of a car horn. I ran out in my boxers and saw a bus take off down the road. I chased it, thinking I had missed my bus. I realized I hadn't only when I saw frightened kids in the back of the bus. FML
Today, after pulling an all-nighter studying for an exam, I caught the bus to college. On the way there, the bus decided to make sweet love to a taxi, creating a pile-up and a traffic jam. I didn't make it to the exam in time. FML
Today, while driving with my family, the car got stuck in a large patch of mud. My family of seven decided that I, the fifteen year old girl, would be best suited to push it out. After slipping, falling, and getting completely covered in mud, they finally called a tow truck. 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 was on a very crowded bus, standing near the back door. People had to get off at the stop, and being near the door, I had to step off the bus, allowing the people to exit. I was about to enter back into the bus, the door closed and the bus driver took off, leaving me stranded. FML

According to legend, only a tow truck worthy of leading Camelot is able to save the Golden Bus.

In this situation I'd hope another bus would have come to pick the kids up. No need to have that many kids either sitting in a slanted bus or standing on the side of the road (Both of which are terribly unsafe).

Why does this have downvotes?

Just think about how happy the kids were to miss a part of school. You're their hero OP

How does that even happen? We're the roads in that bad of a condition?

Why is this being downvoted? This was exactly my first thought as well.

If two people whose job is to drive in all conditions slides off the road, then yes. It's kind of obvious that the roads are that bad.

Even a tiny sheet of ice will can cause a vehicle to slide off a sloped roadway. You just slide down there is nothing you can do to stop it. Seeing as both a bus and tow truck slid, I'm assuming it was pure ice, no slush and snow. I did it in my car and called my husband to come pull me out, his Jeep did the same thing, but he was able to manouver out after he melted the ice and got some traction. Four wheel drive does nothing on ice, just means all four wheels are spinning on ice.

at least because it happened to the tow truck too, you probably won't be blamed for the accident

For the record, I wasn't saying this to try to be funny. I was making a legitimate observation. Not sure why that got me thumbs-downed, but whatever.

Legend has it they still reside to that ditch to this day
