So when I take the later bus there are always a bunch of junior high/freshmen girls on the bus. And they annoy the crap out of me. I know that it is their age, and blah blah blah, I worked with junior high girls all summer. These girls are just little shits.
For example, one of my favorites is the girl who is sitting in one of those double seats, and her bag is sitting on the seat next to her, while there are people standing. When you look at her to see if she will move her bag she kinda gives you the "what the fuck?!?!" look and doesn't move her bag.
Then there are the two girls that sit together in the back of the bus, giggling, and talking about all the major woes in their life. They are wearing corrdinating outfits (as in, similar jeans, shirts, shoes and hairstyles) complete with the slicked-back, too-much product pony tails. And they also make fun of this slightly dorky, shy guy who gets off at the same stop as them. I assume they know him, because they often shove him when he is waiting for the doors to open.
And of course, there is the third type of girl, the one who cannot disconnect from her cell phone for two minutes, and is either constantly talking or texting. And when she is talking, again, her life is really tragic and woeful... usually mom and dad are threatening something terrible, like reducing her minutes or taking away some privilage that she has been granted.
All of these girls have also mastered the staredown-you-are-so-below-me look. Awesome. I love being belittled by 13 year olds.
The bus maintains my perception and image of the classic middle school girl, while also annoying the crap out of me. WoOt.

I feel you. Our kids are great in the classroom (mostly), but they wander around outside in packs during their free time. Everyone (from first graders to the elderly) is attached to their cellphone here. And, it's the boys who are the worst. They're quite obnoxious. Anyway, just commiserating.
