Today I witnessed an argument between a bus driver and a young girl.
Reason ? The girl had come in by the back door, thing that you’re not allowed to do in France. But eh, what’s wrong with that ? The driver began to rebuke her, and she answered with a certain aggressivity, but without really understanding what was happening. She finally admitted that his father was in the hospital, she was in a hurry, disturbed, and did not notice anything.
End of the story ?
Of course not, why would it be that easy eh ? The driver decided that he would not keep driving if the girl did not apologize for things she said. She was choqued, and refused. Then, aall the bus decided that SHE was responsible, they threatened to call the police. Why? A door? Really?
His father was in the hospital. But as the driver said, so well: who cares?
It was finally arranged more or less. The driver finally kept driving.
But then, because these people were in a hurry and wanted the driver to.. make his job, to drive, they chose to defend a driver who literally harassed a young girl of 19 years old who just wanted to see his father in the hospital, half crying?
For their interest, they chose the… bullshit?
I’m afraid. I am afraid of the direction we take. Where are we going? The wall.
