Have some time today, will be getting on greyhound (Which I DONT want to do...) tomorrow night, and will be back home the following night, 25 hours later, only 4 of which are NOT on the bus :/
Anyways, run down of things so far: His family is extremely nice, and he seems to be recovering a lot faster with my sister here, so everyone is sad that her and I have to leave tomorrow, as he'll probably become a bit depressed >.< Though, the heat I will not miss, the nighttime heat here (in the desert >.>) Is hotter then the daytime heat where I live >.<
Anyways, we've had a good last few days, however, greyhound has a small lawsuit being filed against them...
Me and my sister were on greyhound for 15 hours from Arcata CA to Bakersfield CA... When we arrived, we wenr to get our luggage with help from the luggage people, and guess what? They lost my sisters luggage! Anyways, after getting yelled at saying there's nothing they can do, just finish the ride and go to Indio (our next stop) and it should be there, if not, then it will be in Banning (our final stop) we got in line for our bus, which just happened to be spanish...
Anyways, when we got in line, there were people in front of us, and behind us, and the bus driver was checking tickets and letting people get on. So the people right in front of us got checked, and then he stopped when it got me her and me, and he went to help with luggage (again, theres people there to do that), and then what does he do? He goes BEHIND us, checks EVERYONE ELSE'S tickets, and then helps with the luggage AGAIN! So, by the time he checks our tickets after we got so annoyed we yelled at him to get over here, we tried to get on, and there were no seats. They gave OUR seats with payed for a MONTH in advance to people who had just payed 10 min ago... So we were not allowed on, they said no refunds, and the next bus to Indio was in 12-16 hours...
So, we call a friend in Bakersfield, (its 2 am in the morning) no answer obviously, so steph (sister) calls her bf and he calls his mom, and she calls and says her and her daughter are on the way, but its a 3 hour drive by car. So, we had to wait a total of 5 hours at the station, then when they got there, I didnt even know them, and they came up to hug, and I hugged, and I dont normally hug. Anyone who would drive 200 miles out to get us when it wasnt even their fault are good people. The mom talked to her brother, who coincidentally has a best friend thats a lawyer... So, my sister is being advised to put a lawsuit out against the Bakersfield Greyhound station because:
A. They transferred her luggage to another bus without her permission that didn't get to Banning until 2 DAYS after we did.
B. The bus driver discriminated against us because we were the only white people there and weren't hispanic. Along with all the other employees, they did the same.
C. For the ticket price that we were unable to use because of their sheer stupidity of overbooking the bus.
So, now that I'm done typing that, I'm off for now, just wanted to update, and this laptop keyboard is somewhat annoying LOL, Anyways, been having a lot of fun with his family while steph is at hospital with him (though his dad almost broke my hand wth a handshake O.O) Anyways, if they do that to EITHER of our luggage this time, even f my sister wont, I WILL take my own lawsuit against them.
