0:00 [Music] a bus driver was sacked for being too short sacked after 34 years on the job after 34 years exactly yeah it got tackled attack was like why did it take why did it take that long to realize how short he was and if he's done the job she she sorry if she's on the job for 34 years then why would they fire her now well great question michael yes yes tell me what you want straight tell me can we guess first yes please she spit on a kid she didn't want to sleep with her boss okay what's yours do you want to sleep with her i don't know dang what kind of what did she do she was racist okay racist joe she farted she farted okay mike maybe she got like leg surgery and she got

0:51 shorter she got shorter damn what i don't know imagine getting less surgery now this is what she looks like see my three no no here's the camera she's like now i feel bad for saying that you know what's ironic about you feeling bad for saying that you murder what it's still 20 21 so i can call you that she got sacked because she's too short oh she can't see above the ████ thing so a woman who's been working as a bus driver for 34 years says she's been fired from her job because she's too short tracy scholes has worked at the queens road depot in greater manchester for more than three decades but was given her notice last month union unite claims she was let go because bus firm go northwest has repositioned the wing mirrors on the buses meaning five foot tall tracy is now too short to use them at the same time as the pedals that's sucked but

1:41 she's been doing it for 30 years it was they got new buses they yeah they repositioned the window or something like she can yeah extend the pedals out yeah for her specifically i mean you know they they don't have their own bus like they have to use yeah like whatever bus of the day where they really didn't care like about that's what it sounds like it sounds like they didn't really try to help probably more of the situation where it's like something bigger happens and and collateral damage slash compromises are necessary for the evolution of something that's broader than a single individual she can't get a really long shoe yeah like shape-ups yeah she ain't no sketch or shape ups she can't wear a ████ ████ stripper stripper platforms she there's you know those clear hooker heels yeah they're like this big hooker heels that's the solution they're just like hey tracy get some hooker heels i

2:31 don't know she'll be should be five three when she pulls up or five five five six five seven with brown eyes red bottoms specifically oh that'll be retired so last month the bus driver last month unite the union claims bosses ruled that tracy no longer had the capability to safely drive their buses and offered her an alternative role at the company that's cool that's cool what's the alternative but for less hours than picks you can't do that right you got to give her a better option or ████ say peace ████ yeah she needs her pension her retirement on that ████ 34 years she put in work for the company she can't be a manager or something it's her fault though she was born with a ████ birth defect a birthday oh should have been hanging upside down every day she should have been jumping you know yeah

3:22 that's my tummy might have actually like compressed a lot my mom says my mom says you jump every day you get taller maybe if you jump and then you've got the ball in the bar and you hang and then you drop and you do she shouldn't ████ play basketball dude cause michael jordan grew even more in college you sure it's not because uh all right so anthony tracy declined the offer and was given 12 weeks notice she has now launched an appeal over the decision tracy i want to endanger the ████ kid's life but yeah what if it was really bad we can't win dude like it was just want to keep her down i get it because it's all like yeah but then at the same time you know if you can't do the job safely get the ████ out of there or she could get those you know those cycling helmets that have your own rear view mirror and that way you don't need to use the

4:12 bus rear view mary just use your only review like she wants she won't be able to see the ████ you just drive like this and you can just look to the side she's hanging out the way even worse oh my god do you do you think it's easier to move the mirrors lower or to move the pedals up higher in one bus because joe said they they they switch buses all the time oh i mean it's got to be all the buttons so like she's not a whole bunch it's easier for her to get hooker heels yes because she's the the changing variable yeah whereas the buses are constants or maybe they can make the seats you know if they had adjustable seats i feel that that could be like this is such a step back for the bus design you know like it's just yeah because five feet is pretty short but it's not that short where you can't how tall are you i'm 5 1. yeah it's short as ████ but i mean they could drive regular cars

5:03 it's not like they're hospital weight i mean height plus bullet can't drive by that fool's like two feet yeah we are talking about like the ████ elephants of the freeway though right we're talking about like a commercial what city is this in this is in greater manchester but she's been doing it for 30 something that's the thing they don't got traffic like l.a bro she's been doing it proficiently for 30 years she's good she's good but the bus has changed though because i always think like well if it wasn't putting other people in danger then why ████ not but then if it's one of those things where she's like i just want to keep my job but then the job consists of doing things like really really really safely because you have so many people in the car with you yeah it's like i don't know like what if a pilot right like is like he's like not as

5:53 good with his eyesight and then they're like sorry we got new ████ windows or whatever right yeah because you can't work here anymore or whatever and then he's like ah but but i still want my job and i was like yeah but you might crash and ████ that's also true it sucks but i think it's time for her to move on to better things yeah serve her she could do like a mini bus driver like a ████ the short bus yeah short bus driver like that let me go ahead and make the story a little bit more dramatic she's 57 years old says this is heartbreaking i'm a widow of three children a house and a mortgage and it's nearly christmas all right give her a job give her a job give her a ████ job drive limousines or some ████ she has experience we're black you know what you mean she's oh that ████ uber

6:43 hire her please party bus she could do a party or she could drive the bank bus oh she can drive the bang bus because the it's technically not a bus oh yeah uber oh yeah oh man i bet they pay well yeah no that was their last season they're uh she works for a different city that it has the old buses i'm sure she'll find a good job oh it constantly moves around until the buses continue to upgrade okay double decker ones yeah i mean like maybe it's like yeah the other bigger buses with more buses oh that's that's kind of sad i moved to like an asian country where her money like you know it means more and she

7:33 drives smaller vehicles that's true and then yeah the buses are smaller in asia aren't they i'm making that up i think they're the same they are the chairs are just smaller or realistically we're in 2021 somebody needs to start like a random gofundme for her and then she all of a sudden gets like a million dollars for no ████ reason and she's good i saw a girl put up a a gofundme for her trip to thailand and she got paid some decent money what i mean you know what i think we should go fund her career change in being a train conductor she looks like she would be a really cute one yeah except the ████ mirrors up here in the pedal down here oh no trains are even bigger what are we talking about right standing right but yeah yeah it's on track she's gonna shovel coal though that's tough yeah she's like my dude

8:24 [Music] right man what are we going to do yeah what about the ████ hyperloop yo put it on the hyperloop put her in the height except it's ran by i don't know a robot yeah she should just be the passenger that's her job be a passenger yeah manage yo yeah you can do that all right i like that idea let's do that i think we gotta we got a good amount we'll propose to when we meet with her presentation we gotta ask her what she wants to do because she's like all i wanna do is bust in what's like all right well check this out we gotta find a city that still has the old buses yeah she could do like school bus yeah you know because she can't be unreasonable she can't be like nah that's my passion man i ████ spent 30 years and i'm like look dude like

9:14 technology changes mirrors get replaced and ████ you know let me add some more drama she says i love my job i don't want to lose it i have regular customers and a regular route that's the thing imagine imagine putting 34 regulars not just into your job but into almost like your community building your life because every day it's like oh what's up girl yeah this is a regular i thought it was a school bus was a regular no this is a regular uh an actual bus city bus that runs the route yeah that sucks what she needs to do is get a brazilian butt lift oh ████ then she could sit like three inches higher as you can see the mirrors now higher means her feet are farther from the pedal plus the hooker heels it'll be a match it'll be a perfect match yeah hooker heels and butt lift she just do that thing with she like carrying a cane all day and just like push the ████ off oh yeah push the pedal like this yep put a little shoe at the edge of the cage solution

10:05 solution got it now she could not only bust but on the she could have a side hustle of a only fans with the brazilian butt lifts and the hooker he read my mind joe i was about to say that you said it and now she could make a triple income so did you solve your problem we should be a consulting agent or or realistically that the ████ company just needs to come to you know for a 34-year dedicated like very very wholesome woman who's worked really really long don't throw a settlement that's like nobody gets to argue on either side that's what settlement is right it's like a number where it's like oh damn is a lot of money for this unique situation but we're comfortable with it and i've heard like i'm uncomfortable losing losing this job but that's that's a good amount of money for the situation it's nobody's fault yeah and it's not her fault at all too it sucks it's unfortunate

11:11 you
