hahaha... Bus driver fears for passenger safety... Girl says "I'm a pet"...

I saw this earlier yesterday and had a good laugh. Mailed it out to a bunch o' buds...
Some of the comments back were pretty funny... and I'll keep mine to myself.

I suspect that your comments would be close to mine.

For the girl to ask to be led around by a lead and collar is sure sign she needs help of some kind ..... hey, maybe the driver thought she may have distemper lol

What happened to women having respect for themselves?

She said it was her idea. They are consenting adults and as long as they don't hurt anyone, then leave them alone. My energy is better spent on worrying about real problems and those that need and want help.

Noted with a smile thinking about what my daughter would do to any man who tried to put a collar and leash around her neck.

I don't see how the leash is dangerous. People like this are harmless and want to stand out, so what.
As long as she is housebroken I think she should be let on the bus.

LMAO Pamela-I agree, hopefully she is housebroken. I might consider a leash if my hubby would clean, cook and do everything else a "pet" wouldn't be expected to do!

seeing something like that in person would leave me wondering. I can't say I blame the bus driver. Does he take off the lease to let her play in the park?

HAHAHAHA, what a stupid girl....to play it on private, maybe, but to go around telling everyone, yes, I am a little tamed pet, they can do what they want, but honestly, this is not for me, the driver could have let them in though, all the people on the bus would have had a good laugh and something to talk about when they got home...

While I would not do something like this in public, I see nothing wrong with what they were doing, since they both consented to it.

Show that there is little tolerance here for couples that practice some forms of bondage. As long as the girl consented to it there is no problems. the bus driver was discrimatory towards the couple. They weren't allowed on the bus just because the are different and that is wrong. There was not a public safety issue.

I think if she were trained better she could hold her own leash, and maybe be certified as a "working dog" so she can ride the bus legaly. There is hope for this young girl, my dog is well behaved and he holds his own leash during our walks :0)

A follow up is that they have received an apology from the bus company, but they have asked them for the safety of the general public, if they will remove the collar and lead while travelling ... they are thinking ahead to what would happen should there be an accident.

I can't believe there are so many close-minded comments. How typical. They are adults, what they are doing is their own business and has nothing whatsoever to do with whether she has respect for herself or "women's lib" or other such nonsense. They are different, having fun role playing and enjoying themselves. Anyone who made a "nanny" comment should be ashamed of themselves. Grow up people!
