Every Been Spit Upon?

Yo yo yo, Chuck buddy, listen... I need you to get on my bus and spit on me and I'll give you a hundred bucks, what do you say?
 
And at the same time, the right goes into conniption fits over the notion that veterans would be spat upon (though few, if any of the claims can ever be substantiated).

Why are bus drivers any different?

Way to make it a partisan thing douchebag. :thup:
 
Months of paid leave for being spat upon? Hell! I'd line up all my friends to spit on me. Sheesh. You just can't make this stuff up.
 
In a bizarre example of government waste, a major U.S. city with a $400 million transit budget shortfall allows public bus drivers to take months of paid leave every time a rider spits on them.

Thanks to a contract negotiated by the New York City bus drivers’ powerful union, spitting is considered an assault even though the state penal code doesn’t classify it that way. This has allowed dozens of city bus drivers to take an average of more than two months paid leave each time they get spit on by a disgruntled passenger.

In some cases drivers have taken more than half a year off with pay over a spitting incident. This is possible because their contract allows them to take unlimited “assault time” with full pay. When a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus driver reports a spitting incident, an agency team responds to the scene as if it were a dire emergency.

About one-third of the 153 assaults on New York City bus drivers last year involved spitting. Fifty one drivers took an average of 64 paid days off after suffering “saliva assault.”

?Spit Assault? Gets N.Y. Bus Drivers Months Of Paid Leave | Judicial Watch

Gee whiz. I wonder how many cops and teachers are victims of spit assaults each year. Here's an idea. Instead of giving the bus drivers "spit time" maybe they should change the penal code and arrest the disgusting assailants?

How much spit time does your employer offer?

The Union asked and the City said "okay." Makes you wonder if the Union had someone on the inside to sign-off on this.

Are you kidding????? The marriage from Hell. ;)

It is wrong to spit on people. WTF is with you. It is also wrong for the victim to get 2 years paid vacation as a result of the assault Moron.
 
I believe the appropriate response to be "Oh My God! NYC is run by morons."

darn republican mayors. :lol:

You will notice the lack of labels in my response. I couldn't give a shit whether they're asses or elephants... they are all bastards. When the rest of the country wakes up and realizes that, maybe we'll get somewhere.... Unfortunately, until y'all learn to think for yourselves (not you personally) we will continue to be robbed and walked over by a bunch of corrupt assholes.

I blame the voters for allowing it.
 
No jail tine would not be appropriate, Please don't put words in my post. A hefty fine, perhaps a public transit expulsion, and or a saliva bath might be a good deterrent.

People who do this should be shunned from the civilized world. But apparently manners and hygeine are now in the eye of the beholder. Why does this happen so often?

maybe they should change the penal code and arrest the disgusting assailants?
Those are your words...

The time, and inconvenience to everyone else just to call the police, sit around waiting for them to get there, arrest said person (who has probably disappeared by now), etc. is just ridiculous.

Weird and disgusting people are simply a hazard you need to take in to consideration when you make the choice to drive a bus.
arrest =/= incarcerate
 
No, but you're presumably on your side of the isle. Thanks forgiving us a second piece of evidence to show us that your side's plenty stupid. You can stop now.
