My time has come... I was in...probably 5th grade, riding the bus after school. Almost all seats were taken, so I had to stand, my backpack was on the floor. At some point, the bus brakes harder than usual and my backpack falls over. Due to the fall, my bottle, which was “secured” on the outside of my backpack, opened and proceeded to spill apple juice all over the floor of the bus (the floor under the seats was slightly elevated though). Here comes the actual cringe: No one said a thing. It’s not like no one saw it, there was a noticeable noise when the bottle opened (because of the carbonation releasing) and the spill traveled through 3/4 of the bus. I was shocked, but didn’t know how to act, so I said nothing. This happened almost immediately after the bus left the school, so for the entire 20min journey to my bus stop, no one said anything about it. So I just stand there, unable to respond, knowing I sorta screwed up this bus. I can’t really explain how terrible that was. Long story short: I just left the bus without telling the driver and nothing ever came from that.
