The fact that school pickup lines exist is wild.
Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time
Greatest country in the world…
No. Bullshit. When I got cut loose from 70s-80s elementary I was on my fucking own. We could walk, ride, skate, whatever. We did not require a fucking adult to care for us. Bell rings? GTFO! BYE!
It’s always money.
When I first moved to the town I live in now, I was impressed by the all new schools. However I eventually realized they replaced a bunch of older neighborhood schools with a smaller number of bigger schools. They saved money by providing a worse educational experience and making walking less likely.
We walked to my kids elementary school but the town saved money by not plowing the sidewalks in winter, nor forcing residents to. Our walk would require walking on a major street - until my ex went full Karen and made them plow
When my kids got to middle school, we were in “walking” distance so there was no bus. However that was a full mile including crossing a six lane road whose light was always broken, and they didn’t spring for a crossing guard . We ended up choosing a private school in a different town, so there were no buses nor walkability
Regional school districts are now common. More kids goto schools that are not even in their towns
If only there were free public transport provided to every student outside a small radius of the school. That would make things so much simpler!
Seriously, I can’t wrap my head around this. Back in my day, pickup lines simply didn’t exist. You walked or you took the bus.
Back in my day, the early to mid 90s, there were still pickups. There was a shorter line, it was easier, because there were fewer people.
Where I live now, and where I lived then, there was cutoffs for the bus, like a mile or more. My town now, barely anyone is a mile from anything. There’s one bus for the school, and they use it for underprivileged and disabled students. Everyone else is on their own, and so if you live a mile from school, having your four or five year old walk sometimes isn’t feasible.
We live about a mile from school. I drive halfway and park and we walk the other half, because I cannot stand the pickup line. But some people go, drop their kid, and head to work, and so it’s completely understandable that they use the pickup line.
There’s a guy with 3 DUIs.
Saw this description of kid rock and it seems like it applies here too. He’s got tattoos of his kids but not custody.
This month.
Small penis alert
But he’s got YUUGGGEEEE balls! You can see them in the back hanging from the trailer hitch.
Ohh, school pick up lines as in, a line of cars picking up students. Not pick-up lines, like “Hey baby, can you show me where music class is, cause I feel like playing in A minor.”
I need an adult
That was my initial thought… Nice pickup line btw. Do you have more? :)
At my son’s kindergarten all the parents walked to pick up their kids because that’s how the school was, in a small walkable neighborhood. One dad had a fishing t-shirt on that said “Master Baiter.” Kinda similar personality as this RAM/WAR truck guy.
Lucky I’ve not encountered him, the urge to talk to him like a 5 year old would be too great.
“What a big truck you have! And it’s so high up! I bet you have to do a big jump to get up there. And look, it says “WAR” on the front, that’s fun! Did you put that on yourself, or did you ask a man do it for you?”
Damn now I want to see a pink one driven by a catgirl and the logo flipped to say “awr”.
That is amazing!
Conductor: Sir, this seat is for disabled people only.
Me, an intellectual: shows this picture I drive this.
Conductor: Sorry to have bothered you, sir.
If you’re driving, why are you also riding the bus?
Taps disabled sign
What bus has a conductor?

Bruh. Americans will do anything to avoid building a train.
His compensator is compensating
(obligatory DO NOT ACTUALLY so I don’t get removed)
Bet if you shot up this jackass’s car he’d be a lot less prepared than he fucking thinks
You might be, very unpleasantly, surprised. The vast majority of us who carry guns train and are well versed in the law. Remember, when you hear crazy stories on the news, they are only reported because they are crazy." Normal doesn’t make the news.
That guy must be a stepdad because no way he’s made any children with his tiny wittle wee wee stick
Unfortunately there is a type of bleach blonde Karen that finds this type of specimen irresistible
That’s because they are pathetic enough to see them as possessions and they go along with it because they just don’t want to do shit.
Just a little higher and they’ll be able to pass over the children unscathed. Problem solved
I bet he’d rip his Achilles as well if he tried running more than the length of his micro unit.
I’ve inadvertently ridden my bicycle through a couple school zones during drop-off times - and I’m sure pick-up times would be even worse.
Cycling around cars has an element of risk that we all know and accept. But that risk goes WAY UP in school zones at drop-off time. You’d think drivers would be looking for kids, people, etc. as they drop their precious off IN A SCHOOL ZONE. But, no.
For example: One started to pull out in front of me - I was in the lane, riding past, and she was pulling out of the school’s driveway. I avoided her with some vigorous braking, then she had the gall to pull up at a light and tell me I should be careful.
It’s a bunch of stressed, impatient parents who just want to grab their kid and get out, but are apathetic to everyone else trying to do the same. If all these other people weren’t here they could do this so fast, why won’t everyone get out of their way? It’s a highly concentrated dose of the “Im gonna get mine and the rest of you can fuck right off” mentality. And, like most shitty driving behaviors, it feeds into itself. It makes good drivers make bad decisions because, if they don’t, they’re not going anywhere. “No one is letting me in, so if I dont cut someone off, I’m going to be stuck here another 15 minutes” type shit. I dont know why well-built pickup and drop-off areas aren’t required for building schools past 1990, but here we are.
When I leave my home street, (on my bicycle,) I have to make a left hand turn. This means that I don’t proceed through the intersection until it’s safe, and I turn from the middle of the lane. My bike also has blinking turn signals, because people are dumb and don’t understand hand signals for turns. I had one of my neighbors behind me honking and screaming at me because I wasn’t turning fast enough for her liking. I screamed at her that I wasn’t turning until it was safe, and she could eat my ass. Then I got off my bike in the middle of the road and proceeded to dance the running man for 30 seconds before getting back on to attempt my left hand turn again. Fuck cars and the people that drive them.
Yes, sure. And everyone clapped. And your name: Albert Einstein. And all that.
Kids who never grew up, but in a bad way
That car is also very likely to make a kid never grow up in yet another way.
Yeah, can’t they take the school bus or just walk?
Some semi-matte olive paint and that mofo could have a Warthog.
