This is a staggering story. This jobsworth closed the doors on her because she forgot her bus pass the week before. Despite knowing that she definitely has a bus pass because all pensioners in the UK get one. Just a total loss of humanity.

That's the part that horrified me the most. An hour?! That's an eternity. And somehow nobody noticed her despite the bus being in service? I kinda hope she was at least noticed quickly and the delay was something like first responders not being sure how best to remove her, because the alternative of being active dragged for that long with nobody noticing is even worse (as if it wasn't bad enough).

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
