“I’m done with this shit!” Disturbing Moment Ohio School Bus Driver Resigns ‘After Being Harassed By Students Who Triggered Her Asthma By Spraying Perfume’ – As Her Dialogue Inspires T-SHIRTS
- Jackie Miller said she regretted her response but wouldn’t change it
- She lost her temper after students sprayed perfume to which she was allergic
- Miller said the students had done the same thing the month before and forced her to have an asthma attack, and harassed her for two years.
An Ohio school bus driver resigned in desperation after yelling at students who sprayed perfume on her bus and caused her to have an asthma attack while driving.
Jackie Miller was filmed telling students to “shut up” in the town of Amherst, where she had worked for the past two years, before finally declaring, “I’m done with this shit!”
The 15-year-old driver stopped after the incident and threw up her hands at what she said was unrelenting bad behavior from a specific group of students on her line, who she claims bullied her out of her job.
As the video racked up millions of views, Miller became an unlikely hero dozens of people jumped to her defense over what they believed was a fair response to a dangerous situation. a GoFundMe page to support her, and a local store even started selling T-shirts with her infamous exasperated statement printed on them and donating the proceeds to school bus driver associations.
Although Miller later told 3News she regretted the incident, she said she would not take it back and felt her behavior was justified.
Miller said she was sorry for how she reacted, but she wouldn’t change what happened

In the video, Miller was seen storming down the aisle of her bus after a student told her that someone sprayed perfume.
“How much more do you expect me to fucking take?” she yelled, then demanded to know which student had done it.
All of the students denied spraying anything, but Miller insisted she could “fuckin’ smell it.”
“I’m fed up with you guys, I’m done with it,” she said, pointing to individual students. “I’m going to start f*****g with a serious a**.”
‘Do you hear me?’ she screamed. “My foot will be so far up your ass it will dangle out of your goddamn nose.”
While the kids continued to deny spraying perfume, Miller insisted she could smell it and said, “I’m allergic to that shit.”
“I should walk off this bus right now and let you walk home,” she said.

Despite the seriousness of her reaction, Miller later defended her actions, telling 3News how just a month earlier, the same group of students had deliberately sprayed perfume on the bus and caused her to have a severe asthma attack.
“She sprayed perfume on the bus and I had a terrible asthma attack,” she said. “I had to stop the bus, grab my inhaler, and try to get my lungs open again. I made all the kids open all the windows, they know that.’
Miller explained that those students had deliberately taunted her for years and that when the perfume was sprayed again after the initial incident, she finally had enough.
“I’m sorry for the way this turned out, I really am,” she said. “I apologize for my actions, but I will not take it back.”
“This is a plight of all bus drivers, we are being treated in the worst possible sense of the word,” she added. “We are treated with such disrespect.”
The Amherst school superintendent told 3News that students were disciplined after the incident.
The owner of 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 felt a little bit for her at the time. We’ve all had bad days, we’ve all gone through hardships, and our hearts just went out for her,” she said.
