for this one I think you can figure it out. Mr Harlan made the rules, - protect the kids is pretty standard - he would be able to recognise his old classmates and realise they shouldn't be there. - learn the kids names helps you learn which kids are alive cause the dead ones only appear when it's raining or the bus is almost empty. - The mirror and lay down rules probably happened by looking and realising the dead reflections and by a kid getting a dead seat mate.

This used to be my job, which made the story significantly worse for me. Whoever wrote this should have done a bit more research. There are two huge things in regard to being a bus driver that were not taken into account when writing this story. 1. You are given a list of every single student on your route. This leads into the biggest flaw in the story. 2. YOU DO NOT PICK UP ANY KIDS WHO ARE NOT ON YOUR LIST. YOU DONT KNOW WHO THEY ARE. YOU DONT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING. THEY COULD BE WAITING FOR ANOTHER BUS TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. Doing this can land you a kidnapping charge, ESPECIALLY when its done the way it was here. Children usually listen to adults, and a child who is not on your route will likely STILL get on your bus if you tell them to get on. If you want to be "helpful", like yhe man in the story, you call dispatch and tell them the issue. Picking up kids that arent yours will get you fired and possibly jail time.

When I was in elementary school, I remember several big fiascos happening where a kid got on the wrong bus and effectively went missing, sometimes for hours. Once afterward, they held an assembly and basically hammered it into our heads that we were NOT to get on any bus except the one we were assigned to, for ANY REASON unless school staff specifically told us (or our parents) to do so. This story was cute and I see what it was going for, but that's a HUGE inconsistency with how bus routes actually work.

Gets mad when the new guy doesn't take the instructions to crab walk up to the sharply dressed man who matches the portrait of the company president, pull down your pants and take a dump on his left shoe and then turn to face him and flutter your eyelashes at him seriously, or forgets to put only the sky blue pencils in the cupholder at 8:22 pm in the cubicle with the name George Totallynotademon on the nameplate.

I always enjoy these "my new job has some strange rules" stories. They follow a similar pattern, but each one is a little different! I usually use them as a warm-up story before watching a scarier one as the main feature. 😁

I haven't finished listening yet but I can already tell I like this story. I love when the rules are weird and unsettling, yet believable. They tell you just enough to be ominous but not too much to make someone refuse to follow them. Rules don't need to be over the top or super specific, just strange enough to raise suspicion. edit: finished. Yeah, I liked it

They need to mess it up in a non-idiotic way, this guy was keeping a moral high ground because he sees the situation in black and white. With unique and supernatural things like this, you listen to the damn rules. The present kids were aware of it too, but he ignored them. I'm just glad the deceased kids were freed by Harland, the GOAT of this story while Joey remains a Beta.

Why would the bus driver assume "leave no child behind" ment invite or kidnap random people on to their school bus during their current route? WTF? Kids used to have bring permission slips or signed notes and school ids if they wanted to ride. There's gotta be way tighter protocol today than 10-20 years ago? I know it's just a story.

Great story. I rode the bus for a few years and the human cast of characters I rode with to school were probably worse than these ghosts. One kid would threaten to burn your house down if you didn't give him whatever he wanted. This was my last day riding the bus and his last day at school. He was removed from the school due to violence and misbehaving. Found out he was killing animals. He was a much smaller kid than I was so I couldn't just whale on him but I really wanted to. The other kids were nominally better... One kid named Steve was a skater punk. Found out last year he's doing 30 to life for child abuse.
