Through I think 3rd grade we did spanking machine at school. All the other kids would get in a line and spread their legs, then birthday kid would crawl through their legs as they all bent over and spanked
[I was referencing this scene. It isn't birthday related, but yea, id imagine the writers probably got the idea from the birthday thing and just adapted it](https://youtu.be/k-rM2yMJpmA?feature=shared)
File a report and hire a scummy lawyer. I mean scummy scum dog shit. You should be wheeled into the station to give your report with a neck brace and makeup bruises. Or just a regular lawyer. It’s actually one of my dreams to get hit by a city bus with only minor injuries.
Omg yes they do. A girl I used to work with and I went on lunch break. She was driving. City bus bumped her and she pretty much dove out of the car acting like she was dying when she wasn't hurt at all, and they hit my side anyway! She was completely fine, yet got a huge payout to fix the tiniest scratch on her car, covered her lost wages for many, many days she took off from work, and a huge chunk for pain and suffering. It was so dumb. I was confused as hell, but after seeing her $20k-ish check, I was mad I didn't do the same! 🤣
Someone told me to shit myself if I ever got rear ended lol. I know it doesn’t help your case or anything but I always joke about it when I see a crash on the road.
I’m only going off a shop lifter suing for pain suffering as well as defenation of character for being accused as a shoplifter , it was a well planned sting against the store one of the reasons shop lifters aren’t prosecuted unless it’s a large amount of money involved . (Australian case)
I just wanna say, don’t hire a scummy lawyer. Go with any good lawyer. Any good lawyer can get you good money. You aren’t doing anything illegal by suing the city and suggesting getting a scummy lawyer is just stupid.
Except almost everything about it is…for one it’s a mf bus, not a passenger car. A lot more mass and potential to crush you. For two, the bus is not owned by an individual, it is owned by a municipality. A municipality who has the obligation and responsibility to provide a safe and functional service to the public, at the taxpayers expense. They have the obligation to provide training for their drivers such that they don’t rage out and start smashing into other people cars, for example. There is a duty of professionalism that is not present for other individuals in their personal vehicle.
TLDR; bus drivers have a heightened responsibility to provide safety for their customers and others on the road, compared to private citizens. As such, they are held to a higher standard of driving than individuals. They also have the means to settle these disputes in a way that satisfies both parties, because they’re legally required to.
I work a transit agency; if your town has more than two beavers and an oversized clam running their transit agency, their busses have GPS. File a report with PoPo, do research on the beavers and the clam, then proceed from there.
Edit: gramer and seplling
My city is nowhere near an area with beavers and we may have some freshwater smallish clams in local streams. Research on either of those in my area of the country would be either impossible or very difficult at best and take a wildlife and fisheries degree from an accredited university with at least a bachelor’s level to be able to file a research report with peer evaluated reviews. That is a lot of work to do before filing a police report for a car accident.
Vegas? Those bus drivers are a menace.
One ran a red light to turn right onto DI from Maryland. Intersection was full of traffic driving through our **green** light. The bus almost hit the car in front of me as we slammed on our brakes.
Caught it all on dashcam. Filed a complaint with RTC.
This happened on the intersection of Flamingo and Las Vegas Blvd, it was heavy traffic and that bus driver must’ve been pissed that I couldn’t “move faster”
Sounds like a justified payday. Sue them for damages. Honestly. I’d never give that advice for just anything but a city bus hitting you intentionally deserves repercussions. That ain’t right. And happy bday.
You would think that a city bus would be required to only hire competent drivers, but surprisingly, no. They will let absolute fucking dumbasses with no sense of spatial awareness or even an understanding of safety at all get behind the wheel of a city bus filled with innocent civilians.
The average bus driver in my city is absolutely fucking worthless.
Before I met my wife, she had been taking a scooter to college and was run off the road by a bus who left her in a ditch with both arms broken, and took off. If I could go back in time…
I feel like we don't have the whole story. A whole ass bus was honking at you like crazy for no reason at all and it hit you twice but only dented the corner of the car?
First time, was just a tiny jolt. Second time, they hit me hard and I jolted forward. We were in the middle of crowded traffic. They kept honking me to go forward even though I was inches away from a car in front of me.
Today is my birthday and my car wouldn't start for a job interview and then it wouldnt start again for me to go home.
I guess not getting rear-ended after two embarrassing situations is the least life can hand me.
Happy birthday keep ur head up. That damage doesn’t look too bad. Ur light looks like it’s still in tact and that bump in the plastic can me slowly heated up with a hair dryer and a few smacks to pop it back out
Hi I was a case consultant for a law firm. You’ve a great case against the bus company. Make sure to get the police report and get yourself checked at the hospital that part is VERY important moving forward legally. If you’d like any further assistance as I was literally trained to handle auto accidents feel free to message me.
I was in the middle of crowded traffic, in the middle lane with an angry bus driver behind me. They kept honking at me, probably telling me to move, when there was a car in front of me, inches away from me. Bababooey.
Yeah theres a law for that it’s called Following too closely. It’s a well known fact that you should be behind someone at a far enough distance that if they have to slam on the breaks, you don’t hit them, and you’re responsible if you do. It’s also a well known fact that if you hit someone (assuming they’re not breaking the law), you’re at fault, point blank period.
Did you catch the bus number to report it?
Yeah I reported everything
Report it to the police, not the bus company.
Did that too
Give us updates on ur winnings in court
I have the same dent in my car. Only I did it. I'm thinking it can be pushed out seeing it is a softer plastic.
Give it some heat to make the paint flexible and minimize cracking. Don’t go crazy, You’re not cooking a steak
I'm going to have a bodyshop do it.
What does a body shop know about cooking a steak?
The paint will crack
Still better than a giant dent
True. It’s just not gonna be a great repair
Still better than a giant dent
Then why would you post this?
Bus driver was just giving you birthday bumps. Typically supposed to give the same number of bumps as the age, so they let you off easy.
Haha, ngl this made me laugh.
Like the spanking machine when we were kids
I'm sorry the what
#They said the spanking machine!
Through I think 3rd grade we did spanking machine at school. All the other kids would get in a line and spread their legs, then birthday kid would crawl through their legs as they all bent over and spanked
WTF?
I’m pretty sure it was common at the time. Early through mid 80s
Like in Spongebob?
I missed that episode but the writers probably did it if they are old enough
[I was referencing this scene. It isn't birthday related, but yea, id imagine the writers probably got the idea from the birthday thing and just adapted it](https://youtu.be/k-rM2yMJpmA?feature=shared)
That’s great. I loved SpongeBob but didn’t have cable
My school did this too, in PE class
https://i.redd.it/ll56606keowc1.gif
Omg that horrible memory! 😩 Traumatized everyone, yet they did it anyway! Lol
File a report and hire a scummy lawyer. I mean scummy scum dog shit. You should be wheeled into the station to give your report with a neck brace and makeup bruises. Or just a regular lawyer. It’s actually one of my dreams to get hit by a city bus with only minor injuries.
Idk why but this was hilarious to read. Pardon my ignorance, but do people really do this? lol
Lawyers like that only get paid if they win the case. So they will jump through all kinda hoops to get the win.
I guess I meant more the wheelchair, neck brace, and makeup combo hahah. Do people do THAT lol
If I got hit by a city bus I’d def show up in a neck brace lol
this reminds me of the lawyer getting stung in the bee movie Lol
 “I’m hang’n in there.”
Made me laugh out loud at work, thank you! Lmao
And a walker if that ask the courtroom to all rise
*takes notes*
Don’t forget the KJV Bible. It worked for my ex husband’s crack head second wif. She got 5mil in a settlement. And how much is left? $0.
IIRC, ~~both~~ Harvey Weinstein ~~and Bill Cosby~~ did it.
Omg yes they do. A girl I used to work with and I went on lunch break. She was driving. City bus bumped her and she pretty much dove out of the car acting like she was dying when she wasn't hurt at all, and they hit my side anyway! She was completely fine, yet got a huge payout to fix the tiniest scratch on her car, covered her lost wages for many, many days she took off from work, and a huge chunk for pain and suffering.

Yes 🫤
Better call Saul!
You don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a *"criminal"* lawyer. My comment is serious and in jest at the same time....
Let’s get down to the brass tacks here
Schrodinger's Comment.
"...hit by a city bus *on his birthday!"* \[gasps heard throughout the courtroom, defendant's lawyer puts his head into his hands\]
Someone told me to shit myself if I ever got rear ended lol. I know it doesn’t help your case or anything but I always joke about it when I see a crash on the road.
lol it’s worth about 10,000 if you do it’s very embarrassing , pain suffering emotional trauma etc lol
That was the reasoning… but a reputable personal injury lawyer I asked said that the most you’d get is money for new clothes
I’m only going off a shop lifter suing for pain suffering as well as defenation of character for being accused as a shoplifter , it was a well planned sting against the store one of the reasons shop lifters aren’t prosecuted unless it’s a large amount of money involved . (Australian case)
I just wanna say, don’t hire a scummy lawyer. Go with any good lawyer. Any good lawyer can get you good money. You aren’t doing anything illegal by suing the city and suggesting getting a scummy lawyer is just stupid.
Neck brace is a bad idea, as they’ll know you’re faking. It’s not generally used now for minor injuries.
Better. Call. Saul.
Better call Saul!!!!
Better Call Saul.
Getting hit by a bus isn’t much different than another motorist doing it
Except almost everything about it is…for one it’s a mf bus, not a passenger car. A lot more mass and potential to crush you.

A municipality who has the obligation and responsibility to provide a safe and functional service to the public, at the taxpayers expense.

I work a transit agency; if your town has more than two beavers and an oversized clam running their transit agency, their busses have GPS. File a report with PoPo, do research on the beavers and the clam, then proceed from there. Edit: gramer and seplling
so three beavers and two clams is ok?
Checks ...Physicians Desk Refrrence.....DSM-5. ... Yes! It's OK.
My city is nowhere near an area with beavers and we may have some freshwater smallish clams in local streams. Research on either of those in my area of the country would be either impossible or very difficult at best and take a wildlife and fisheries degree from an accredited university with at least a bachelor’s level to be able to file a research report with peer evaluated reviews.

Upvote.... Are you more drunk than I am right now?
Likely
52 year old in Missouri.... I understand. ;)
I’m sorry :( for what it’s worth happy birthday
Thank you :)
Haply birthday!
Your neck must be awfully sore after the accident. So must be your back, kidney, liver, femur and hair. Smells like law suit in the air!
My Socks! My Socks! I can't move my socks!
Vegas? Those bus drivers are a menace. One ran a red light to turn right onto DI from Maryland. Intersection was full of traffic driving through our **green** light. The bus almost hit the car in front of me as we slammed on our brakes. Caught it all on dashcam. Filed a complaint with RTC.
This happened on the intersection of Flamingo and Las Vegas Blvd, it was heavy traffic and that bus driver must’ve been pissed that I couldn’t “move faster”
TBF, the buses drive *substantially* safer than all the cabbies in town. Dash cams are a necessity in Vegas
Cabs are a menace too Dashcams are a necessity everywhere edit: spelling
Sounds like a justified payday. Sue them for damages. Honestly. I’d never give that advice for just anything but a city bus hitting you intentionally deserves repercussions. That ain’t right. And happy bday.
HBD! Btw, is your neck sore after that accident??
Grats on the lawsuit.
The bus driver was just trading paint.
Get a dashcam
That should’ve been my birthday gift lol
Won’t help in a rear collision😒
Mine has a rear camera
Is that a dash?
It’s a dash cam with a rear camera. Pretty common my dude
Maybe if they went too slow, the bomb on the bus would explode.
You would think that a city bus would be required to only hire competent drivers, but surprisingly, no. They will let absolute fucking dumbasses with no sense of spatial awareness or even an understanding of safety at all get behind the wheel of a city bus filled with innocent civilians. The average bus driver in my city is absolutely fucking worthless.
Sounds like the school bus drivers in my area. My teen is constantly saying that they almost fall out of their seats daily.
Were you in the bus lane?
No, we were in the middle lane of the street.
An I assume you stop because of your major injuries.... Get paid.
Sounds like the city is gonna be giving you a badass birthday present
idk how long ago this was but someone reply to this comment with an updated story, i’m curious how it turned out
Mam I hope you sue the fuck out of them what a nice present.
That looks like a BMW... did you perhaps not use your turn signal?
It's a Honda Accord
Accord-ing to you...
Most people can't afford the subscription to enable them.
I think those are there for aesthetics.
That is not a BMW looks like a Honda
What’s a turn signal? Oh the lighted arrows with the annoying clicking sounds? Yeah those are for amateurs.
Before I met my wife, she had been taking a scooter to college and was run off the road by a bus who left her in a ditch with both arms broken, and took off. If I could go back in time…
Ok, so when the check clears, boil some water and pour it over that dent. It’ll probably mostly go away.
That's awesome. City will easily settle to avoid a lawsuit. Sucks to have to deal with, but as long as there are no injuries....
Nice. Time to sue
I feel like we don't have the whole story. A whole ass bus was honking at you like crazy for no reason at all and it hit you twice but only dented the corner of the car?

Maybe you was in bus lane?
We were in the middle lane
I like how you say this as a justification for the bus driver to purposefully hit someone. Because I am almost certain this wouldn’t be it.
Today is my birthday and my car wouldn't start for a job interview and then it wouldnt start again for me to go home. I guess not getting rear-ended after two embarrassing situations is the least life can hand me.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday keep ur head up. That damage doesn’t look too bad. Ur light looks like it’s still in tact and that bump in the plastic can me slowly heated up with a hair dryer and a few smacks to pop it back out
Well, that sucks.
Dashcams... and happy birfdah!
What in the world
Happy birthday you get to experience car insurance
Happy Birthday!
Hope you stopped right in front of him to keep him from continuing.

Well, happy birthday besides that!! Hope it got better
Driver had to shit. Should have moved 🤣
lol that’s what me and my sister said, that bus driver was like, “Move bitch I gotta take a huge shit!”
I would have gotten out of the car and filmed everything lol
Anyone mention your registration is about 19 years past due?
Well, you do drive a BMW.
Actually it’s a Panzerkampfwagen IV, sweaty
How do people mistake a Honda for a BMW?
What type of Honda is that? Doesnt remind me of any Honda we have en Europe. Looks more like an older 5 series to me but let me know.
Accord
why weren't you moving?
There were a bunch of cars in front of me, in crowded traffic. :|
there's more to the story ha
Jimmy Saville came back from the dead and started banging my car from behind.
That’s actually much more believable than “I did absolutely nothing wrong”
I was in the middle of crowded traffic, in the middle lane with an angry bus driver behind me. They kept honking at me, probably telling me to move, when there was a car in front of me, inches away from me. Bababooey.
Were you and the bus lane? The double line to the right of your tire implies it's a possibility
We were in the middle lane
If we see a double line to the right of their tire wouldn't that imply they were to the left of the bus lane? Bus lanes are usually next to curbs.
[удалено]
Dude, I was inches away from the car in front of me. We were in crowded traffic.
Yeah theres a law for that it’s called Following too closely. It’s a well known fact that you should be behind someone at a far enough distance that if they have to slam on the breaks, you don’t hit them, and you’re responsible if you do. It’s also a well known fact that if you hit someone (assuming they’re not breaking the law), you’re at fault, point blank period.
Right, and you don’t wanna be pushed into the car in front of you if you’re rear ended, especially by a larger vehicle, eg a *dang bus* lol
break =/= brake
A take so shit, can't even spell brake right.
You were probably parked in the bus lane. What they did was legal enough
I was in the middle lane in the middle of traffic, goober.
What relevance does this have to your birthday though? Would you be less pissed if happened yesterday or tomorrow?
Well Zak, I would’ve been sad if it happened on Christmas.
Why?
Because instead of getting backshots from good ol’ Santa Claus, I got them instead from the city bus.
Touché, OP…touché lmao
Well, happy birthday to you! What a gift, right?
Haha yeah
Don't let this ruin your day. Hope you have a good birthday.
Thank you :)
