Bus Driver stops bus to save frog, saint or stupid bitch?

[boozeboxer]

I would have ran over the amphibian, unless it had human legs.

Hmmmm, can of worms this one isn't it.

If the bus was running on time I'd say fair enough... how long does it take to stop the bus and gently kick a frog out of the way?

I'm not going to get into a debate about being 20 minutes late, if I was on the bus and it had made me late for work I'd probably be bright red and be demanding froggy blood but at the same time if you're 20 minutes late is a 30 second frog stop going to make a lot of difference?

The main can of worms is who says that you being on time for a job interview is as or more important than a frog's life?

I do seeing as we are talking about a person's livelyhood versus a frog's life but no doubt others will disagree. Everybody is entitled to their own code of ethics though Bilbo and you shouldn't call them pathetic for following them.

I disagreed with everything you said though, its a frog, she's perfectly entitled to her code of ethics and if she felt the right thing to do was stop and move the frog onto the pavement so that it could be squashed by the next vehicle that came along rather than her bus than that is her right.

However if the bus company are more concerned about their buses running on time and don't care less about whether a frog dies now at the hands of one of their drivers or ten minutes later at the wheels of a different vehicle then that is absolutely their right too and they should be allowed to sack her without a media outcry.

Fair enough if it's going to enivitably die but if she doesn't want to be the one to do it she shouldn't have to.

Personally I would of ran the fucker over for that very reason but those are my ethics and not hers.

They won't of sacked her because the bus was late, it was 20 minutes late anyway... they will have sacked her because of the amount of complaints that the public gave them... the very same reason that they rehired her.

Yes that's a sensible way of looking it I guess, they are just trying to respond as best they can to customer disatisfaction.

The world is so fucked up that I can imagine if they didn't rehire her the WWF would join with Liberty and any other crackpot dogooding organisation to stage a boycott of their buses

If I was the owner of the company though I would have rode the complaints out and even turned it into a positive ad campaign.

I'd have an advert of buses running with total efficiency crushing slugs, snails, frogs underfoot and arriving at their destinations on time whilst the rival bus company stops ever few minutes to scoop snails of the road and put them on the curb, with the driver always giving way for traffic and slowing to let a little old lady with a zimmerframe cross the road in her own time.

Then I'd pan back to my bus just plouging a large sway through the traffic storming past the rival bus leaving a cloud of dust all over its windscreen.

I'd end with the slogan 'Fed up with your transport company caring more about pondlife than they do you? Then drive with Bilbo's Buses and reclaim the roads for humanity. We get you to where you want to go on time, because we only want the frog lovers, not our customers to be hopping mad'

Your creativity is very misguided.

Mosquitos carry deadly desease like dengue or malaria. Frog eat mosquitos. They're our friend. But I sure wouldn't stop in the middle of the road for them. I'd run those fuckers over and hear them pop.
