Woman misses B.C. ferry, epic meltdown goes viral | CTV News (http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/woman-misses-b-c-ferry-epic-meltdown-goes-viral-1.2197544)

"You have no feeling for people" LoL

[Great68]

That woman's straight up crazy, she was clearly late.

There were a couple times where I just about lost it at the terminal..

Once when one of the self-serve machines ate my money twice (charged me but never printed a ticket), and the person behind the counter was clueless and disinterested in helping, leaving me in limbo on if/how I would ever get my money back.
(FYI, if that happens the only way to get your money back is to write a letter to BC Ferries accounting department with a copy of your visa statement showing the charges and pleading your case. It took nearly 3 weeks to get my money back)

Once one Christmas eve morning they had not opened a separate booth for reservations. I was reserved for the 11:00, I arrived at the terminal at 10:15, but due to the lack of separate lane the ticket lineup was so long that I ended up going through the booth at 10:32 so they stuck me in general boarding.
The stupid cunt in the booth with was like "That's TOO bad, you're late" to which I'm like "I was fucking here at quarter after 10, you were too stupid to realize that it would be so busy that you would have needed a dedicated reservation lane, which made me late (who would have fucking guessed it would be busy on CHRISTMAS EVE RIGHT?!?).

That was the last time I ever bought a reservation.

[quasi]

She's nucking futz, who does that? My 8 year old wouldn't even attempt that, what a child.

Hopefully all her friends, family and co-workers see the video and recognize her.

This also happened a while back:

This will likely end up just like that.

[multicartual]

Fuck you people for reposting this woman's mental distress.


Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.


I pray for the day ISIS members behead Canadian "journalists", perhaps then some integrity will be returned to the profession.

[multicartual]

"You have no feeling for people" LoL


Now let's gather around and point at this woman's misfortune.


Not only that, but CTV, CBC, and the rest of the fucking MEDIA WHORE CUNTS line up to hold out this teet for all of the lowest-common-denominator proles with no empathy to gleefully suckle on. The Reddit comments on this are just disgusting.


Look at her anguish! JUST LOOK! THEN CLICK OUR FUCKING ADS.


I bet muslim extremists would have more sympathy and kindness to show for this woman than 99.9% of westerners who love to abuse each other, put each other down, point at laugh at people to feel better about themselves.

Just after Christmas we where going to Vancouver taking the Tsawwassen ferry. There was a sailing wait so my Dad pays extra and uses his assured loading pass.

Does that look like a full ferry to anyone? This is the type of stuff that pisses me off. Cars where left behind others paid extra to get on but the ferry left not full.

LOL, you exploit women with no self esteem and peddle smut but the media is poison? I'm not even judging I love me some porno not that I'd ever be stupid enough to pay for it but those in glass houses should probably be the last people throwing bricks. The amount of Troll you're bringing in here isn't lost on me kind sir.

[StylinRed]

i think jason knows her...maybe she was coming over to film a scene for him?


edit: "filmed on New Year’s Eve" i guess she missed out on an epic party or being with family, that sucks

I am always the first person to tell everyone that even though I sell porn online for a living, I believe it to be a mentally oppressive form of visual media. I actually hired a full time employee who looks at it for me so I don't have to. Believe me, I'm working on more books and Forex trading so I can get out of the business. Seeing porn makes me want to vomit.

Pornography warps and distorts your views in such a subtle manner, it is similar to the frog-in-the-pot, turn the heat up slow and it won't notice until it is too late. Pornstar women have Amazon wish lists so for married men who fall "in love" and obsess over them can send gifts their wives won't notice for a hint of their attention.

The media influences us in ways that are subtle to most, overt to others. I'll stop short of calling it mind control but media is pervasive in our lives and pop culture is nearly inescapable. Those in control of what gets broadcasted, what artists get promoted do absolutely, positively collude to influence public opinion.

#GamerGate on Twitter is a great example that reveals just how much collusion there is in the media and how little ethics are actually involved.

To broadcast this woman's breakdown moment as a "must watch" is absolutely fucking sickening for a publicly-funded company.

I'm going to side with Captain Porno, news media outlets are pure shit.

CNN is basically a tabloid now, enabled by all the click-happy dullards who just have to know why "this guy broke up with his beautiful girlfriend, but you won't believe why..." Etc.

Not going to lie I think most of your posts are retarded but if what you're saying here is true I'll give you props for some proactive forethought and action regarding that issue.

[Habboy]

Man, 3 minutes late, what a bummer

[carisear]

I think it's great someone filmed it, and it's gaining wide attention. This is a prime example to teach people how NOT to act in public.

It also has a lesson in what happens when you don't have time integrity.

[Jmac]

I used to work in Duncan, live in Burnaby, so I was back and forth pretty often and, as such, was a few minutes late on occassion.

I was told every time that I was too late, but after nicely asking if they could get me on, they obliged each time (both with vehicle and on foot).

Generally speaking, people in the service industry are more willing to bend the rules if you're nice about it. If you throw a fit, you're less likely to get your way until it hits management or head office.

[GS8]

I'm not an expert on behaviour but it sounds like she was already having a bad day and this was her breaking point.

Not exactly uncommon. I don't find it funny either.

There is no integrity in corporate-backed journalism.

[MG1]

I felt sorry for her........

Some would have just crumbled and sobbed uncontrollably, while others would have smashed their fist through a wall. Obviously, catching the ferry was pretty important for her. Like someone else said, it could have been the last straw and she just lost it. Shit happened that kept her from getting there on time. Making fun of someone's suffering is not cool. In my younger days I would have laughed at it.

The media is heartless. They love telling stories with a gleam in their eye, and they're always hoping to get people to react. I hate the fucking media. They're the pimps of the world.

Anyway, she is going to be identified, if not already, and the bullying and negative comments will continue for a while. Embarrassing for her and she should have known better, but it happened. Time to move on.............

A... thoughtful and intelligent post from jason 2000? :suspicious:

[SkunkWorks]

Actually agree with Jason for once. That video made me, above all else, feel pretty sad for her.

We've all been there, one of those shitty days. And to now have that published all over publicly-funded media as a top story? Fuck. That.

[Soundy]

Just to be clear: the meltdown itself is hardly a "top story" by any new outlet's standards. The fact that it blew up all over social media is what MAKES it a "top story".

Something of a chicken-and-egg situation, but BLAMING "the media" for it is misguided at best.

And yeah, I've had those days too... that's not the story, though. A grown woman behaving like a four-year-old throwing a tantrum is the whole point.

Edit:
The 30-second video was posted around noon on Monday, and has been viewed more than 406,000 times since. It also has more than 1,750 comments, and has been shared more than 4,900 times.

...

Pavitar Sidhu, who runs Spotted in Victoria, told CTV News that the video was filmed on New Year’s Eve.
That's 406,000 views and almost 5,000 shares as of the time this article was posted early this afternoon... in barely 24 hours... BEFORE "the evil poison media" started talking about it.

Did you watch the CTV coverage? That wasn't the story. They had 3 or 4 news anchors literally laughing at this woman for having a mental breakdown. The viral aspect was only mentioned in passing. I expect this kind of coverage on some shitty cable news show that caters to a certain audience, but not a network news broadcast. It was disgusting.

[Hehe]

I feel bad for the woman.

I mean, she probably had something important for the trip.

It happened to me once. And I ended up just buying a ticket (very expensive) for YYJ-YVR and landed in YVR before the ferry. So I could totally reason the frustration.

[BBMme]

Unfortunately it happens. I use the ferry weekly. There was one incident where the ferry cancelled due to the horrible weather I needed to get back to victoria or I will go to jail due to the importance of my job. I called every airline, helijet, travel business to find a way back, and I ended up finding one. Don't get me wrong, I hate the ferry a lot, but crying won't help at all.

[PiuYi]

would we be feeling bad for her if it was a mainlander woman screaming in mandarin?


I think this public shaming is justified, teaches everyone how not to behave in public

it's not like CTV's encouraging a witch hunt of this woman, nothings getting hurt except her ego and probably social life. well deserved imo. not like it'll be permanent anyway, in a year's time nobody will remember

[multicartual]

If a woman exploding in public and being laughed at by the cameraman is what my publicly -funded NEWS channel determines is a "Must See", then I'm sad and very disappointed to be a part of this system.

[LP700-4]

People dont react like that for no reason, something must have happened or catching that ferry must have been crucial for whatever reason. People have no clue what the real story is and its not like the woman hurt anyone.

I bought my car from Nanaimo, went to the terminal early in the morning and it got delayed for whatever reason. After it finally set sail and we arrived at the dealer we did a 10 minute test drive then someone else showed up with cash in hand ready to buy it. By a margin of 10 minutes i almost lost my car because of the stupid and expensive ferry. I probably wouldve thrown a fit somewhere too LOL

Granted the woman was late to board so its partially her fault but who knows what happened before that or what she missed by missing that ferry.

[westopher]

She really didn't hurt anyone, so there is no reason for her to be publicly shamed. Maybe her husband left her that day, maybe she found out her kid was sick, maybe her dog died. People have bad days, and sometimes a small thing is what puts you over the edge. If she wound up and punched the ticket sales person, then we'd have a problem, but she didn't affect anyone really other than herself.
All modern Canadian news outlets have just become shitty clickbait articles that are made to rile people up in the most extreme ways possible with the least effort involved. People react, then they try and duplicate those stories by manipulating details without being as blatant as the tabloid joke media outlets.
How many more times are we going to see the same meaningless shit in the news articles while actual issues in this country are ignored? Fuck irresponsible media. Fuck them in their fucking faces. They are making our population dumber with all their sensationalism of bullshit, misleading statistics and exaggeration of events.

[Timpo]

I wonder what made her go crazy like that? There must have been something important...I also wonder if her friends, family and coworkers have seen this video...most importantly, herself.

[Timpo]

If she didn't have any reasonable reason, then...

http://www.troll.me/images/disaster-girl/u-mad-bitch.jpg

[Tone Loc]

Exactly as others have said above, this article just shows how Canadian news media has effectively turned into tabloid news that will post anything - regardless of how "newsworthy" it is - in order to get page views, "retweets", and "likes". It's just all a sham.

I personally don't see the issue here, we've all been in situations where we are late, stuck in traffic, delayed for something super important and all we want to do is exercise our primal instinct to scream in rage.

Why shame someone publicly just because they happened to be recorded? You, or I, or these news "reporters" don't know the context. Hell, just the other day I was screaming in my car after hitting every single light on St. Johns street on my way to a booty call. It's normal to get upset, especially over stuff that actually matters in life. Don't get me wrong, if this woman was some Yaletown yuppie throwing a tantrum because their latte was 2% instead of Skim, I'd be laughing too. But transportation is important... what if she was picking up her kid? Late for an important interview? Booty call? Etc...

[hchang]

I'm not an expert on behaviour but it sounds like she was already having a bad day and this was her breaking point.



That woman's straight up crazy, she was clearly late.


She's nucking futz, who does that? My 8 year old wouldn't even attempt that, what a child.



I don't know if anybody else has realized this but all women are fucking crazy

[Hondaracer]

If her trip was that important to her maybe she should have been there ahead of time?

[melloman]

I can see the point everyone has for "feeling bad that the News is publicly shaming her" but really? You're three minutes late, reason or not you're still late. Then you decide to throw a tantrum like a child because you didn't decide to get there early.

My biggest pet peeve, is when people are late. Nobody gives a shit if they waste your time, because their time is more important. Figure out your life, think ahead, and OMG... maybe get there early and read a book or something.

I don't feel bad for her, like Hondaracer said, if it's that important, get there early. Make it a priority.

[westopher]

I agree, she wasn't in the right, and she acted like an idiot. But now she is being publicly bullied and shamed by national news outlets. That's what's fucking pathetic here.

[Godzira]

There's no reason for anyone to act that way in any circumstance. We all have our bad days and our shit piled up to the point of breaking. If you handle it like a 4 year old by throwing a temper tantrum and scaring the people around you, you really need to find some help. I agree the way the media handled it is a little insensitive, but come on.

[westopher]

I probably sound like that every time I drive through richmond.

[murd0c]

I don't understand the people that feel sorry for this women... Like any normal person if it was this important she should of arrived on time. What did she think would happen, the Ferry would turn around and come back and get her? The people I feel sorry for here are the people who have to deal with this on a daily basis and her family/parents.

[Godzira]

exactly^^

[white rocket]

How about if you don't want to appear on the shitty tabloid news and be mocked by society why don't you NOT HAVE A FUCKING TEMPER TANTRUM IN PUBLIC YOU CRAZY FUCKING BITCH!?

Don't blame us for turning our heads and clicking "record" on our phones to gain some proof of this insanity. Also, don't blame the media for running a story that entertains while also being true. No one should be acting that way anywhere, at any point in their lives.

Media 1, Crazy Bitch 0

[RRxtar]

Feeling sorry for her is one step below encouraging this behavior. People who act like this in public SHOULD be embarrassed of themselves. Acting like that in public, as an adult, is absolutely inexcusable for any reason. The word does not revolve around you, and you do not deserve to put other people out for your special treatment. And you do not get to throw a tantrum when you don't get your way.


I do agree tho, that this kind of shit doesn't belong on the NEWS. It is tabloid/gossip level junk, and if its on the mainstream news, it shouldn't be much more than a mention in a 5 minute "did you see that?" segment.

That being said, how many of you watched it? You cannot chastise the media for showing something, if you're encouraging them by watching it.

[Great68]

There no question that people should not behave like this in public.

10 years ago the "public" would have been:
- BC Ferries cashier
- The other two or three people in the terminal lobby

The whole thing would have been forgotten the next day.

Now, the "public" is 500,000 people around the world because some dude hit record on his phone and uploaded it to youtube, where it's talked about for days and will live on for years to come.

I feel bad for her in that sense.

[RRxtar]

So, you could say that 10 years ago people could get away with socially unacceptable behavior, but now they can be held accountable?

[westopher]

You could also say that the same media that runs hundreds of stories per year and wears pink fucking shirts because they are so against "cyber bullying" are now partaking in it shamelessly themselves. That's the only part that makes me angry. Anyone who sees it can see it and say what they like, but to be part of the distribution of it at a professional level crosses the line. I don't think many people in this thread sympathize with the woman for being ostracized for her actions, however it should be on a much smaller and less serious scale.

This is just it.

There are murderers, rapists etc out there that got less public and media attention than this woman.

All she did was throw a temper tantrum.

One of the biggest reasons why I got out of the media industry years ago.

[Great68]

I thought we held people accountable for "socially unacceptable behaviour" through law.

I've never heard of a "no temper tantrum" law here in Canada.

[SkinnyPupp]

10 years ago if you had an embarrassing moment, a few people witnessed it and you can move on with your life.

Now everything you do is on record, and it may come up over and over again. Instead of being embarrassed in front of a few to a dozen people, you're put on display to hundreds of thousands if not millions.

That's just how it is now... It won't be long before literally every minute you spend in public will be on record somewhere.

[Great68]

And another thing is that the demeanour of the BC Ferries clerk could have probably gone a long way to avoiding/diffusing the situation.

My guess is that the clerk there was one of those crusty, unsympathetic "You're late, too bad for you" cunts lacking any sort of customer service capability, like we all know work there. That sort of a response is just going to get people who are already upset even angrier.

Maybe if the conversation was more along the lines of:
"Gee, Sorry maam, you just missed the cutoff. We have to cut off selling tickets 15 minutes before the sailing so that ferry crew can make the appropriate safety checks and head counts. Our computers cut off sales, and we literally can't sell any more tickets. I sympathize with you but it's out of my hands"

Maybe that would have been received a little differently. Who knows.

[Vege]

BC Ferries has a certain worker to passenger ratio so even though the ferry might not be full, they are unable to load more passengers due to someone not scheduling not enough workers for that sailing.

[Great68]

BC Ferries has a certain worker to passenger ratio so even though the ferry might not be full, they are unable to load more passengers due to someone not scheduling not enough workers for that sailing.

Or they had a glut of walk-ons vs cars. They can only sail with as many passengers (walk ons AND vehicle passengers) as they have lifejackets for. So if they hit their passenger capacity via walk-ons, they don't load cars.

Maybe that would have been received a little differently. Who knows.
But we don't have the beginning of the conversation. Maybe it went on for 5 minutes before the video even started and the clerk started off nice. She was already losing it by the time the video started.

And to be honest, I don't even mind how she acted when she was talking to the clerk. People get upset. But the screaming and shit she did after she walked away was terrible.

Crying and screaming at the clerk because she was 5 minutes late for the ferry and it already leaving is the same as if you screamed at the ticket agent at the airport because the plane you were supposed to be on already left because you showed up 5 minutes after it took off. It's your fault you missed it, and there is literally nothing they can do for you.

We don't have the first 5 minutes, but I have use the ferries a lot (probably a great deal more than most in this thread) and I have seen and experienced the "crusty cunt clerk" on more than one occasion.

I'll hedge my bets that this clerk was one of those, and I'm probably right.

I don't know how this is going to sound, but I was really relieved that this woman wasn't asian. I'm not sure why I was hoping she wasn't asian, but when I saw the video and noticed that she wasn't asian, a sense of ease came over me and I was happy.

I guess as an asian I would feel embarrassed as I feel asians always seem to be depicted as crazy, cheap, ridiculous, etc.

Not sure if anyone else felt the same way or if I'm a little off for feeling that, but that's what I felt...

Bingo!! This is exactly the world we are living in. I heard someone say "Assume that when you leave your house you are on camera" and it's certainly heading that way. As much as I'm scolding the woman for acting immaturely or erratic I can also understand that maybe this event was the straw that broke the camels back and she just flipped. But all we see is the freak out. Unfortunately the back story doesn't matter due to us living in a world where everything can be recorded and published to a live social media site for the world to see. Now the world is judging you. It just is what it is.

In before freakout chick invokes the Streisand Effect...

[Soundy]

BC Ferries has a certain worker to passenger ratio so even though the ferry might not be full, they are unable to load more passengers due to someone not scheduling not enough workers for that sailing.

If there are a lot of particularly heavily-loaded trucks on the lower deck, they may also be at a weight limit. Or may have had to limit the load due to weather. All sorts of reasons a "full sailing" may not be physically full.

BTW, I believe the worker-to-passenger ratio is a Transport Canada regulation, not BCF policy.
