Too sexy for your bus? Or maybe you have a short attention span

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German bus driver threatened to throw a 20-year-old sales clerk off his bus in the southern town of Lindau because he said she was too sexy, a newspaper reported on Monday.

"Suddenly he stopped the bus," the woman named Debora C. told Bild newspaper. "He opened the door and shouted at me 'Your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can't concentrate on the traffic. If you don't sit somewhere else, I'm going to have to throw you off the bus.'"
The woman said she moved to another seat but was humiliated by the bus driver.
A spokesman for the bus company defended the driver.
"The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing," the spokesman said. "A bus driver cannot be distracted because it's a danger to the safety of all the passengers."

Um, why is it so wrong for this guy to take responsibility for his own actions?

He was the one who was looking at a female passenger who he was meant to be getting to A to B cause, y' know, that's his job! So he should have a certain amount of professionalism, but no, it's HER fault, SHE was distracting him by er, er... having breasts!!!
I'll write more on this subject when I've had lunch and calmed down a little.
