Comment on "A hill I'm willing to die on" is a weird phrase for what it means.

What I did hate about being on the bus however was the fact the school mandated that drivers must skip a dozen stops (pretty much being like 4km from the school at that point, which most students live closer than that 4km,) and when the driver that day actually adheres to that “mandate”, many students freak out and call the police, automatically assuming they’re kidnapped (which was honestly pretty funny considering how absurd it is.) Then again though, a solid 95% of drivers thought that rule was bs, so they kinda still allowed students to get off at the next stop from the school anyway, which was a laughable 10 metres from the first.

I remember when I went from middle school to highschool the girl I was fond of at the time was zoned to go to a different school than I and we were sad about it. There was a bus stop for my school that stopped on the other side of the street from her house, so like 50 feet from her front door. Instead she had to walk 3 streets over to get to a bus that took her to another school. Zoning and buses were always a pain. The only way she could have gotten into our school was by saying she wanted to go for the magnet program or something… but the magnet program for our school was fucking radio broadcasting… So not a feasible excuse for her to use.
