i really need to leave france
today, i had to stand in line outside for 1 hour and 19 minutes to get a disgusting and unhealthy meal at my public high school cafeteria. i wish i could bring my own food for lunch, but that is unfortunately forbidden in france.
abt 15 minutes after me and my friends had sat down, a (full grown abt 25 years old) woman came to tell us to leave if we had finished eating (we hadn't). we told her something like "we haven't finished eating, and we waited more than an hour to eat, so we will take our time to eat" and she told us "yeah well i haven't eaten yet but i'm not acting in a shitty way [like you guys]". the words she actually pronounced are hard to translate into english, but you just need to know that she used very bad words that we would never be allowed to say to her. a full grown woman using those words to ground a bunch of high schoolers for NO FUCKING REASON. you might think "ok but that's not related to her being french" - oh yes it is, french people do not respect younger people and use a ton of profanity for no reason, i really hate that culture.
then, school ended at 6 PM because our school system was made in the fkin 19th century with no consideration for the student's mental health. when i got out of school, it was already NIGHT.
then, i decided to take the bus to take home. taking the bus in this dumpster fire of a country is like playing the lottery: you might get a well-designed bus that was made in recent years, OR you might find yourself into a stinky 30 yo bus that looks like it wants to die.
guess what type of bus i got today...
that's right, a 30 yo one. when i entered the bus i saw that there were no seats left
>gosh i can't wait to spend the next 30 minutes standing!
the bus got more and more crammed, to a point where you couldn't be anywhere without touching another person.
at one stop, a black woman (her skin color is important for context) wanted to exit, but she couldn't and people in front of her were not willing to push themselves to the side to crePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
