Given that she describes herself as a human pet – and is happy to walk
around on a lead – Tasha Maltby is used to odd looks and even odder
remarks.

But nothing had prepared her for the reaction of the bus driver who
allegedly told the self-styled Goth and her boyfriend: "We don't let
freaks and dogs like you on."

Miss Maltby and her fiance Dani Graves were so angered they have
complained to the bus company of being "victimised".

Going walkies: Dani Graves and girlfriend Tasha Maltby were allegedly
barred from a bus

"It is definitely discrimination, almost like a hate crime,"
19-year-old Miss Maltby said yesterday.

The music technology student had this defence of her lifestyle.

"I am a pet, I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy
life," she said.

"I don't cook or clean and I don't go anywhere without Dani. It might
seem strange but it makes us both happy. It's my culture and my
choice. It isn't hurting anyone."

The bus driver, however, has obviously not been listening.

He has repeatedly refused to allow Mr Graves, 25, and his "pet" on to
his bus in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

Last month, with Miss Maltby on a leash as usual, the couple tried to
board a bus at the bus station.

The driver, who was off duty, was standing near the door.

Mr Graves alleged: "He shoved me off the bus. He called us freaks and
he called Tasha a dog.

"He said, 'We don't let freaks and dogs like you on'.

"He basically grabbed my T-shirt and slammed me backwards.

"I got a bit angry and called him a fascist pig."

In a separate incident, police were called when the driver, who has
not been named, refused to allow other passengers on board after the
couple ignored his orders and sat down.

The couple, who live on benefits in a council house and plan to start
a family, have been friends for years.

They started going out together in July and became engaged in November.

Paul Adcock, of bus company Arriva Yorkshire, said: "We take any
allegations of discrimination seriously.

"Mr Graves has already contacted us directly and as soon as our
investigation has concluded we will inform him of the outcome."

This thread gives them the one thing they want.

Attention.

Too...many...doggie style...jokes...must...resist....!!!

The music technology student

I generally act animal like and I lead a really easy
life," she said. "I don't cook or clean

So pretty much the average student then?

I honestly don't think this is discrimination. If she wants to act like a dog then prepare to be treated like one. She is playing a role and the driver is playing one too.

I'l give you another fecked up anti goth story!

Varkov

Yup, they are looking for attention walking around like that, dont think your man was justified though.

TBH, I think most people would react in fairly similar ways, so I think an apology from the bus company and maybe a free years pass or something would suffice.

That girl goth no self respect....



i'll get my coat....:D

Why is it "another fecked up anti goth story!"? is being lead around on a lead and acting like an animal the norm within the Goth community?*** It seems to me that he had an issue with that and not with them being Goths, I think his reaction would have been the same for members of any sub-culture (Goths/Emo's/Chavs/Hippys etc) of society.





***Just to point out I've nothing against Goths

biko

Goth chicks are hot, not dogs.

Crumble Froo

at least they didnt try kill everyone in the local school or something like most goths...

Wacker

That was just stupid of the driver. Didn't he realize that refusing these people would just open a major can of worms and would ineivitably get reported? Would it have killed him to just bite his lip?

bus drivers hold the right to refuse anyone for there own reasons...

They do not have a right is physically assault you by forcefully grabbing you and pulling you off the bus, the same was a bouncer or security guard can't legally lay a finger on you only the Garda here and the Police in the UK can and them only if you have or are suspected of committing a crime.
I've heard of people winning assault cases for less.

Really? I hate bus drivers. Not letting someone on is one thing, but calling someone a dog is another.

Pretty sad though - a human pet..

but she wears a leash and she thinks she is an animal, so what wrong with calling her the name of what she wishes to be?..

but the bus driver shouldnt of pushing her and what not, he went a few steps to far imo

Wait. She acts like a dog all day, wants to be treated like a dog, yet when she does get treated like a dog, she complains?

the dog thing is purely at the bus drivers discretion, here at least

was hoping to read that the bus driver chased her off the bus with a rolled up newspaper

Riiighhht.... :rolleyes:

There are good looking girls who unfortunately become goths. Luckily most grow out of it by 19 odd.


This girl and her man are clearly fcuktards (she is getting married at 19 after going with the guy for 4 odd months ffs). The bus company should bar them for life. The driver had a point tbh, I can imagine some kids crying the whole journey in fear of these two.

edit- looked at the photo. **** me, he even gives me the creeps.

The girl would get hittage if she had a wash and dressed normally.

Dressed Normally?
I'm the last person to stand up for attention seeking kids but what the hell are you babbling about?

Alright then.

Maybe they should have replaced "start a family" with "start a litter"

Reku

Combine:
1. she gets walked around by her partner on a leash
2. they live on benefits in a council house
3. they've time to make this big a fuss over the incident

What a pair of attention-whoring-feckless wasters! I'm sure they probably also claim that it's because of society being unwilling to accept their lifestyle that they don't work for a living.

Real goths I've no problem with but most of the ones I see about are clearly just at it for the shock factor and the attention, as such I just see them as immature little twits.

Dr_Teeth

Regardless, they shouldn't have been kicked off the bus!

They seem alright to me tbh:
