Asked by Gina Dee over 5 years ago

What is the angriest a parent has ever been with you and what happens?

Asked by Connie bear almost 6 years ago

I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.
