That would've shown her.</p> <p>Sara: It was the UBC bus so I think basically everyone had UPasses, so it's not like we could be like "I WANT MY MONEY BACK," but it is totally ridiculous, and I would have been incensed if I'd like, seriously paid for this particular bus ride, or was buying a pass on a monthly basis. But it was still totally fucking ridiculous.</p> Paul: Yeah, that’s basically what it’s been like ALL winter; no one knows how to drive, no one owns shovels, there’s no snow plows.
