Distressed Ohio school bus driver resigns 'after being tormented by bully students who triggered her asthma by spraying perfume' - as her rant inspires T-SHIRTS

An Ohio school bus driver resigned in despair after screaming at students who sprayed perfume on her bus in the hopes of making her have an asthma attack.

Jackie Miller was filmed telling the alleged teenage bullies to 'shut your mouth' in the town of Amherst where she'd worked for the past two years, before finally declaring 'I'm done with this s**t!'

The driver of 15 years quit after last week's incident, throwing up her hands on what she told local outlets was incessantly bad behavior from a specific group of students on her line, who she claims bullied her out of a job.


Despite the severity of her reaction, Miller later defended her actions, telling 3News how just a month prior the same group of students had intentionally sprayed perfume on the bus and caused her to have a serious asthma attack.

'She sprayed perfume on the bus and I had a horrible asthma attack,' she said.

'I had to stop the bus, grab my inhaler and try to get my lungs to open up again. I had all the kids open up all the windows they know this.'

Miller explained that those students had been intentionally provoking her for years and that when the perfume was sprayed again after the first incident she'd finally had enough.

'I'm sorry for the way this went down, I truly am,' she said. 'I do apologize for my actions, but I won't take it back.

'This is a plight of all bus drivers, we are treated in the worst possible sense of the word,' she added. 'We are treated with such lack of respect.'

The Amherst schools superintendent told 3News that students had been disciplined following the incident.

The owner of the local clothing store Main Street Threads, Jacqui Adkins, said she felt for Miller after seeing the video and decided to make t-shirts to support her.

'We all kind of just felt for her in that moment. We've all had bad days, we've all gone through hardships and our hearts just went out for her,' she said.
