I'm On A Bus!
A 25-35 y/o mom after sitting at the front of the bus for duration of trip, walks to back of bus to pick up her kid, who's been sitting with 4 other kids between ~6-10 years old at the back of the bus. (note - kids were kids for the whole ride, not doing anything bad, just talking like kids) -
Mom begins yelling at one kid, having said nothing before this point: "You want me to hit you in you fucking face when you asleep? What the fuck the matter with you? Ger your ass up! Get off right here."
Then grabs the one kid she's talking to + the other 4 kids exit the bus as well.
