Dickson College smart asses on the bus

I hate to be the thread pedant, but should it not be ‘smart arse’ ?

PBO, your suggestion is interesting. Can you write one when you are sober or not stoned next time.

Man, it would have been awesome to write that stoned. Gimme 45 mins to go out to the carpark to think up a better response.

E-mailing a link to this story to the school with a heading “Look what a sh!tty reputation your school is getting!” would be a smart move.

“I’m going to bash the shit out of you”
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
“They’ll need dental records to identify you when we’re done”
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
“

Does anyone know if the Principal of Dickson College has seen this story?

I have not yet had a response from the high school. Maybe they could not be bothered. No need to call Deane’s, their bus driver was doing his best. The kids just regularly ignore the driver. The drivers only have so much authority, and can’t overstep it. The kids know that so they push boundaries.

Calling Deanes isn’t about whether the driver is doing his best or not, it’s about bringing up the issue with the company themselves. As you say, the driver only has so much authority, but the company has a lot more authority, and once they have a complaint from a member of the public they may decide to take action.

They could decide to put a company rep onto the bus to see for themselves what’s going on, and to have a word with the kids if necessary. They could decide that the driver is allowed to refuse the kids onto the bus. They have many more options available than the driver himself, but not if you don’t let them know about it.

Judgemental?

Good warning to people of what they can expect when they catch a Deanes Bus.

When I was at school, the school itself would have taken strong action, but these days, the scum have all the rights and the rest of us, and the school, seem to have none.

hate to say it, but filming them with a phone and hoisting it on the ‘net would probably be the most effective measure. And it would make you feel better!

Mix up some silver nitrate solution and carry it with you in a drink bottle on the bus. When the kids go mental, splash them liberally…

I once had words with kids on a bus who were repeatedly kicking my seat behind me. I asked them to stop, which only inflamed the situation and saw insincere “sorry .. I’m sorry” coming at me; one of them starting blowing raspberries on my neck and talking aggressively .. I gave them a serve, saying something about them being on welfare for the rest of their lives and stop badgering people who are just going about their business .. it didn’t matter, they just went on poking fun at me. Everyone on the bus just went about their commute, didn’t even flinch.

Sure when I was a kid or a teenager I gave my teachers a run and my parents, but I would have really learnt my place if a complete stranger told me what a waste of space I was.

I don’t think there is really anything you can do.

This may seem a bit extreme, but it works. I gaurantee that you will be left alone for perpetuity and those pesky kids will never say peep in your presence again…..

1st, get a stanley knife and cut yourself (this will make sense later)

2nd, rush the main student offender and grab them in a firm yet pseudo-sexual fashion and secure them in such a way that you can whisper/kiss/lick them and they cannot do anything about it (Ensure that they are well over the age of 16 otherwise this will backfire quite badly for you and you will get a rep that you do not want).

3rdly, tell them that you remember what it was like when you were their age, 10 foot tall and bulletproof. Whisper to them how lonely you are and then suggestively whisper something really dirty/disgusting in their ear like that they are going to be violated with a plunger and a trombone while you pleasure yourself with their favorite childhood toy to the soundtrack of Clockwork Orange (although the connection would be lost on the students), they will be paralysed with fear and will not notice you putting the stanley knife handle in their hand and then jump back and scream that they have cut you.

and 4thly, the bus will stop and you will be there bleeding when the cops arrive. The stunned students will already have have a bad reputation for troublemaking and there will be one of them holding a stanley knife while you are bleeding. The kids will be taken away and not believed because it sounds silly and who would go to all that trouble anyway?

When you do see them they will be quite well behaved around you from then on with only you and they being the wiser. This when you smile at the and say what well behaved little pretties they are.

😀 POST OF THE MONTH!

i thought in australia it was smart arse??

agree with the approach deane’s and school authorities and see what happens from there. that or follow the scrotes home and torch their teddy bears…

I agree with making a complaint to the school as well as to Deane’s.

What about making a complaint to the mayor of Queanbeyan as well? This behaviour is probably more informed by the place they live than the school they go to.

This 100%. there’s no need to go over the top with pretend legal threats.

Making a formal complaint to Deans and the School will almost certainly result in action – keep in mind that the school will almost certainly be able to identify the kids based on the bus route, time and any sort of description and in general principals are paranoid about this sort of stuff.

1) Pull out mobile phone,
2) video the swearing,
3) email school principal,
4) ???
5) Profit!

I would get out of the country.

I experienced something similar (albeit a little scarier) to this one morning last year while travelling on a public bus from Belconnen to the City (via Canberra High School). The perpetrators were a bunch of (around 20) foul-mouthed Canberra High School students and the victim was the bus driver. The students threw fistfuls of large sized MM’s down the aisle toward the driver repeatedly over about 10 minutes. In addition to this they were swearing (very loudly) and making nasty comments about the bus driver and passengers on the bus. Apart from the high school students there was a large number of young primary school aged children on the bus at the time – one of them mine. After a number of requests were made by passengers asking the students to stop what they were doing, and the driver stopping the bus and threatening to throw them off, a female student made a very serious threat of violence toward the driver. By this time most passengers (especially the children) were quite frightened, myself included. With my heart pounding in fear I got my iPhone out and Googled the phone number for the school and called the Principal. I was fortunate to get straight through to the Deputy and he was equally horrified by the behaviour, so much so that he requested to know the estimated time of arrival at the stop nearest to the school. When the bus stopped there was the Deputy waiting, cranky face and all. He quickly commanded control of the group and let them have it. It was beautiful and the driver was very thankful! To this day I am amazed by what ACTION drivers put up with.

Good on you for writing to the school. Hope you get a satisfactory response.

I think the allegations of racism would likely force the school’s hand into acting more than the swearing. So, in a way, it’s good thing that Little Miss Bogan and her mates appear to have been such deads***s.

Best idea yet.

Video to identify the school, and audio seems to be the 21st century way. Bonus if done anonymously.

Even if the school has non-existent punishment, at least other viewers can laugh and point. And Today Tonight gets 1 minute of material.

Threaten the school with a harassment suit. Better yet, the parents if you can get names.

That only works on bank managers, police officers, bailiffs and parole officers.

Firstly, good for you for asking them to stop. I agree with other posters who’ve said you need to contact the school. Write to the Principal and follow it up with a phone call. Don’t forget to include dates, times etc.

Call Deans and the school.

I feel your pain. I was on an ACTION bus holding my then 2 yr old son who was sleeping and a group of teenagers would not stop swearing and yelling. Turned around and asked them to please keep it down and stop swearing, they apologised but kept up the swearing and yelling and making smart ass comments about it. I was fuming but what was I to do while holding my son. I usually dont even mind the yelling but because my son was sleeping I would have thought a bit of courtesy for him wouldnt have been too hard. I thought wrong didnt I!

I’d call the school. I don’t know if public schools are the same, but the private one I went to took complaints from the public about students really seriously.

should have punched

Have you written to Deanes and complained about the behavior? If not would be worth a shot, you may also mention it to the bus driver as well.
